One thing that drags me in to the kitchen every time is an Occasion. With a capital O. (Sensing a trend?) I love to bake for something. I'd love to bake for the greater good of humanity, but it's more likely a birthday, an engagement, a dinner party or any Jewish holiday.
On Sunday, my friend Rachel (who along with her mother Debby are most valuable readers) celebrated her birthday, which also fell on Superbowl Sunday. Now, while I don't really know much about football except that it rarely involves feet, I never refuse a chance to cook. So, along with delicious mushroom barley soup (which I tweeted about) I made these festive birthday cupcakes!
Of course since my failures at writing on baked goods are well documented, I attempted two letters and gave up, letting Sarah finish the task. Meanwhile, poor Alana sat directly in front of the cupcake tray, staring and them until Rachel showed up to claim her treat. Let's just say, I came close to wishing her a Happy B-da. But she held off, and was rewarded. At the end of the night, I was left with HE.
Meanwhile, poor Esti had her birthday back in JANUARY and has yet to see her delicious cake posted here. Next "snow day," my dear.Word of the Day:
- Snowcrastination: accomplishing nothing under the assumption that tomorrow will be a snow day and you won't have to leave the house.
All is forgiven my friend.
ReplyDeleteCan I claim the H and E cupcakes since I couldn't make it to the bday party? Living far really messes things up.
ReplyDeleteAlso by next snow day do u mean the 1/2 snow day we have tom?
I like the word of the day. We need one for all wather patterns now.
ReplyDeleteSome people make decorating baked goods look so easy. For some I guess maybe it does come easy. But I think the thing that makes you better is simply practice. The more you try writing on baked goods, the better you'll get. Well, maybe...Good luck.
Im still waiting for my occasion cookies...ahem.
