Cupcake

After she spent Sunday morning making Play-Doh cupcakes, I offered to help her make real cupcakes after her nap. "Pink!" was her only description of what kind she wanted to make, so we entered the world of naturally and artificially flavored strawberry box cake mix (Mimi, promise you won't tell any of the other Cooks Talk folks, okay?).

"Spinkles?"

"Not yet, Liza. First we have to bake the cupcakes."

"Spinkles!"
"Not yet, Liza, first we have to frost the cupcakes."

"Spinkle!"

"Yes, now you can sprinkle. Only maybe not all of it on one cupcake, okay?"

Oh, and Mom, check out a little less than halfway along the timeline - you'll need to turn your speakers up to hear her channeling cousin Karen ...

"Cupcaaaaaaaaake!"

Oh, they're beauties, all right. Nothing like fake strawberry cupcakes topped by "white" flavor frosting and sprinkles that are mainly made of corn starch ... if you don't hear from me for a while, it'll be because I'm recovering from a cupcake-induced diabetic coma.
