Bob's fortieth birthday is this coming Thursday, and Claire and I made cupcakes for him this afternoon to take to his game tonight with his friends. And this reminded me that I've been wanting to show you a cupcake trick I learned from our Danielle.
She came over this past Monday and brought some delicious Valentine's Day cupcakes with her, and told me something she'd seen a clever mom of small children doing at Disneyland as she gave cupcakes to her kids.
1. Remove the cupcake from its paper liner.
2. Remove the crown of the cupcake.
3. Replace the crown of the cupcake upside-down.
Your hands might get messy doing this, but your kids -- and you! -- will remain clean as you eat it. (One wet wipe versus fifteen. Ha!)
Plus, to me, it tastes better because you get more bites with frosting.
I do not think I will ever eat another cupcake without inverting the top first. :D Thanks, Danielle!
i love jesus and the good news ... that through his death and resurrection he offers us reconcilation with the loving, sovereign, and holy god of the universe. yay!
