The cupcakes:
The Gift:
I don't feel so bad for cheating the child out of a proper birthday party as the result of our travel. She did wind up with cupcakes at school, cupcakes with my family this past weekend and the German engineered Mercedes of Tricycles as her gift from her parents! And while the two year olds at St. Anthony's got cupcakes of the Duncan Hines variety, I did put the effort into making Magnolia Bakery cupcakes for my family - while my husband may not agree (What is wrong with him??) everyone else knows these are the best cupcakes ever and hands down, the best thing I am capable of creating in the kitchen (entrees? who needs them?) If anyone wants to tempt themselves with two dozen of these babies lying around the house, you can find the recipe online, and with a little muscle power into the mixing they are pretty darn simple to make. What could be complicated when the ingredients are: BUTTER, flour, BUTTER, milk, BUTTER, eggs, BUTTER, sugar, BUTTER, vanilla extract, BUTTER, confectioners sugar, and BUTTER. Mmmmm....thank goodness I only have two more left at home, so after Leila and I kill those tonight I can begin my Quixotic quest to lose 5-10 pounds!
