Ugly Cupcakes
I had it all planed. I had the cake mix, the icing, the food coloring, and even some shamrock cupcake liners. I enjoy getting dirty in the kitchen every once in a while, and since cooking for one is pretty lame, I have recently found myself baking for my coworkers. (I get to enjoy the cooking process, and not the calories – Perfect!) So, my plan was to create some St. Patrick’s Day green cupcakes. Sounds good right?
I spent Sunday evening mixing and baking the cupcakes. After a little cooling, I iced each one with some food color enriched icing. They were green, and festive, and tasted yummy! I placed them all carefully in a container so that they didn’t get icing on each other, and so they could easily be transported to work. Another successful Betty Crocker moment complete…
I got to work today, and managed to grab my purse, my lunch, and my cupcakes from my car. As I am walking across the parking lot an invisible leprechaun (or something) ran in front of me causing me to trip. (Go ahead-start laughing.) I didn’t fall, but my beautiful cupcakes went flying. They stayed in their RubberMaid container, but needless to say the green icing was no longer on top of the cupcakes. Ugh! I shamelessly picked up the CLEAR container and continued walking and hung my head as I passed several people who couldn’t help but look at the smeared green mess.
Long story, short… They still tasted great, they just didn’t have the presentation that I had originally planned. I had some good laughs today as my different patients came in to enjoy the ugly cupcakes. I’m glad I could bring some humor to everyones lives!
When life gives you lemons… uh… serve ugly cupcakes?!
