invaluable gifts


I made cupcakes for a friend's birthday today, though my efforts were thwarted when the celebration was canceled. I wasn't the official party anyway, so it really wasn't a big deal.

To be honest.. they didn't taste that good either. I tried something new.. baking chocolate pudding right into the cake! It should be good, right? Well, perhaps if the cake was from scratch *you know the difference I'm talking about, and perhaps if the chocolate was a ganache and not instant pudding. Perhaps if I had frosted them, however the sweetness of the enclosed pudding might have made them unbearable to eat.

Sorry Gabby.

The birthday girl loved the thought I think as I dropped off this little plate to her house tonight, her family not doing anything for her save the handmade birthday card from her daughter. I told her it was because she's a girl and that she gets how we like to make each other feel special and special ourselves.

My neighbors certainly loved the rest of the cupcakes! A big thank you to Tillymadilly who suggested these acts of kindness.

My girlfriends are my most invaluable gifts.
