During my daily do-anything-but-work internet browse, I stumbled across an event called National Cupcake Week. To my surprise and delight, it takes place yearly from the 15th to the 21st of September….. this very week!!!!!
Intrigued, I managed to delay any kind of work for another hour or two whilst I admired the exquisite artistry of cupcake design and salivated over delicious and rather bizarre recipes alike. I then wasted another few hours thinking of what I could do for this momentous event, after all, a week dedicated to the cupcake can not be left uncelebrated.
Regretfully, it was mid-week before I found out about National Cupacake week and I missed out on four whole days where gorging upon dozens of cupcakes would have been completely acceptable. This mistake will not be made again next year! I may forget birthdays and tax returns, but I will never again miss out on National Cupcake Week.
With such little time to plan and execute my celebration, I finally had to settle upon just three cakey activities:
- Eat as many cupcakes as possible regardless of tremendous stomach pain, nausea and that overwhelming fear of choking to death on cake whilst dozing quietly into a sugar induced coma.
- Harass my already busy mother into making her delicious cupcakes and butter icing before commandeering the kitchen to commence my carefully designed cupcake decoration.
- Draw a cupcake inspired image when the violent sugar shakes finally abate, cognitive control returns and with it, hopefully, the ability to hold a pencil.
Here's how it went…….

Ahh, I forgot, we also made two birthday cakes as well! I think we are baked-out right now!

HAPPY NATIONAL CUPCAKE WEEK EVERYONE!
