Devil's Food & Milk Chocolate; Double French Vanilla; and Lemon with Cream Cheese frosting! YUM!! After an intense 6-6.5 hours non stop yesterday, I made and frosted 300+ cupcakes to give away. People have asked me over and over again, "WHY????" I've replied to every one, "Why not?" I love buying, baking, giving, blessing and serving (and making things in bulk) - making 300+ cupcakes to give away fits right in.
As I was making them in the Church's Staff Kitchen, a number of staff member came and were were able to eat some. One said something along the lines of, "I just keep getting blessed today!" I gave Julia 37 of them for school, since her brownies didn't turn out too well, and I brought a dozen or so home for the Baxters. Today I left a couple dozen in the staff kitchen for the church staff, and after class I went to my next stop: KCA. Since Kindergartners didn't have class today, they will get their cupcakes tomorrow. However, every student, and teacher from Grade 1-8 in KCA got a cupcake today. Not to long after finishing that, I went to Kidzone and all the kids and volunteers got cupcakes there. I originally was only planning to make the cupcakes for Kidzone, but it kind of exploded from there. I wanted to bring some food for the kids at Kidzone, and as I was deciding to what to bring, I decided to live up to my name. My Kidzone nickname is "Cupcake" since I like to bake, so that's where the idea of cupcakes came from. I also put a couple dozen in the SLI room. Brooke and Janette had let me barrow some cupcake pans (thank goodness - they were a huge help!). Tomorrow I will take some to the Kindergartner class and I have some that I plan to take to the construction workers on our road.
It was a ton of fun and definitely worth it, even though I did have to stretch my budget for it - it WAS Worth it!!!
Joshua, maybe you should consider a job/volunteer role culinary field, but in a ministry capacity like at a shelter or soup kitchen, where you can bake and serve others and know you are blessing them!
