I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was fabulous. I know ours was. But instead of focusing on all the great family time, good conversations, good stories and lots of laughs that were to be had at our Thanksgiving table, I'd like to instead focus on the turkey. This one:
Looks delicious, yes? Ok ok, obviously this wasn't our Thanksgiving turkey, but it's a pretty good rendition of one, don't you think? I can brag on this amazing cupcake only because I wasn't the one to make it. You may remember how I make cupcakes for folks at work if they have the unfortunate opportunity of working on their birthday. Well. Jeanne, the other part of our management team (ok, the part that is a little bit higher than me on the "management team scale", decided that she would help me with this staff appreciation/birthday endeavor.
Fine, I said. Bring it.
And thereby began...the Cupcake Wars.
Seriously, now. Did she really have to go full-force and make The Turkey? I brought one home to show RW, and his first words were.. "Wow. Where does she go from there? She's left herself no margin!" Exactly. However, I can't even pretend that I wasn't impressed. Seriously impressed.
So this week when I made cupcakes for Karen's little Keira who turned 3 on Thanksgiving Day, it was hard not to be just a little discouraged. Especially when RW came downstairs to look at the Moose's (meese?) I was creating for Keria. In true RW fashion, he announced.. "Well. They certainly aren't on the 'turkey' level, are they?" Thanks, RDub!
And like I told RW.. "She's THREE! She'll think they are cool."
And did she? Well, you be the judge:
Score. Even though the antlers and ears were falling off, Keira thought they were the coolest thing ever. And as for Jeanne? Apparently she's upping my cupcake game. Bring it.
Sweet competition.
