Things were going so smoothly. I shouldn’t have even said it aloud. Cakes for caramel popcorn were done and in a container. French Toast cakes (mini bread puddings really) were cooling. I had a bit of a rest… Then I went to taste the French Toast.
No sugar! I went back and read my blog entry for the day I fabricated the recipe. I didn’t mention any sugar! There was supposed to be sugar! So…a tear ran down my cheek. Mr Shuck, the saint, ran out to Thriftway to buy more bread. Unfortunately, he didn’t take his cell phone as I realized right after he left that we were also out of foil cupcake liners. When he got back, my wonderful husband left again to retrieve cupcake liners. While he was out, I started the batter for the vanilla cakes for Drumstick. I got them in the oven, then remade French Toast…
I realized as I looked at the mounds of cupcakes around me (2 batches of 48 and a batch of 60) that I ended up with more than 150 cupcakes. I could have been a Cupcake Camp sponsor! I thought that 150 wasn’t doable. Apparently I was mistaken. TheCupcakeAddict.com could have gotten a bit of publicity and I could have gotten a poster. Darnit. Maybe next year…
PS…for anyone who attempted that recipe and thought it was crap, I apologize. I have updated the post to include sugar.
