Today was an unexpectedly busy day! I was up at 8:30 to drop off an order (a dozen assorted jumbos) for Jacqui to pick up on her way to work. Fortunately, they were ready to go, and I was able to roll out of bed and give them to the doorman in an almost sleepwalk. The morning escaped me as it always seems to do, and before I knew it it was lunch time and I had a batch of chocolate cupcakes in the oven. My day was was spent predominantly in the kitchen mixing, tasting, and frosting, until a brief yoga break at 5.
By 6:30 I was back. All the cupcakes were baked and looking especially tasty, so it was time to start making frosting. After much experimenting, I along with my loyal crew of taste-testers (an arduous task indeed) agreed that a cream cheese-buttercream frosting was far tastier than plain buttercream. Additionally, we learned that it does not cause the same sugar-delirium (bonus!).
In the middle of mixing the final cup of powdered sugar into the chocolate frosting, I received a call from Jacqui. According to her, the cupcakes were a wild success both at work and with another mother. (There were also a few compliments of my business cards!) The cupcakes were such a hit at work that her boss placed an order for tomorrow so that his wife (a cupcake connoisseur) could try them.
After countless hours of baking and frosting I am shutting the kitchen doors and heading to bed. Tomorrow afternoon I will be selling outside of Madison Square Park, so I need to rest up. I am heading out with tons of cupcakes and hoping for a hungry lunch crowd!
Sweet Dreams!
