i stayed at sp guy’s house last night. i was so exahsted and knew i still had to fix my error from work, so i just asked if i could stay with him. he agreed and asked if i had the time and energy to go to the store for him.
i’m one of those up and down every isle shopper. i did skip the frozen foods, but i started on the right hand side of the store and worked my way to the left where they have their bakery.
and this is what i found. there are just so many things wrong with this i’m not even sure where to start. i mean, christmas cakes in august? what, they couldn’t come up with *any other* shapes to show off this approach to cake design? like a sun or a beach ball or even some autumn leaf shape or a book for back to school… the possibilities are endless! why christmas? it just makes them look silly.
plus, while grouping cupcakes together to make a shape isn’t a new idea, frosting them like this is something i’ve never seen. i do think it would look better… and be more obviously cupcakes… if they frosted them individually and then grouped them. this way you lose all the fun and cuteosity of the cupcake experience. until you have it in your hot little hand, that is, but eating it is only part of the fun.
when i get back from the burn i’m going to be baking again. cupcakes. not for christmas. and not all iced like one sheet cake. i’ll show them how to do cupcakes right.
