Conversations on Cupcakes

We stopped at Hey Cupcake, our first time, to give it a try. I'm not saying they were bad, but I'm not sure they were worth 2.75 and I know I could make better icing.

So K gets her red velvet with cream cheese icing, and takes a big lick of the icing. "Mommy this doesn't taste like yours."

Aw... "It's better." Bummer. She makes it about half way through and then promptly deposits it on her dresser. Why I have no idea, but that is where I found it.

"Do you want me to save this for you?"

"Yeah, that would be fine. I liked it." My mother-in-law gave K these great little cupcake savers that are plastic replicas of cupcakes for storing a single cupcake each. I stuck her half eaten cake in one and put it in the fridge.

Rewind to B. "Here's your cupcake B."

"Thanks Mom." She takes a bite and quips. "Oh, wow they're chocolate chips in here. You should put chocolate chips in your chocolate cake."

Ok they say this stuff like I bake often and don't know what I'm doing. Seriously.

The Husband Unit didn't want his, being full from dinner and I put it in the other cupcake holder. A couple hours later he pulled it out and the top half had stuck in the top of the holder. I laughed, he grumped, I laughed some more. He ate his cupcake with a fork.

I eat baked goods in a certain way and this disturbs most of those around me. Cupcakes are eaten from the top down, icing first, then the part above the paper then the part in the paper. In pinched off chunks. This is a very messy way to eat cupcakes, but is my favorite.
