Cupcakes for breakfast

I had two. Because I made red velvet cupcakes for a 4th of July party, and they spent the entire day in my friend’s oven “so the cat won’t try to lick the frosting.” Maybe that was a completely legitimate reason, but I didn’t hear her using it on anyone else’s food. Nope, my cupcakes were in there all by themselves.

So at the end of the night, I pulled the cupcakes out of the oven, put on my best pathetic Katie face, and tried to guilt my friends into eating them. I had little success.


And so I decided to bring them to work today. I’m pretty much at the bottom of the food chain in my office, except when we have summer interns! And I take full advantage of having someone to boss around occasionally. So I put the cupcakes in the kitchen and gave the interns explicit orders about what to do next. If those interns know what’s best for them, they’ll eat cupcakes.
