A couple of adorable little girls [Ayda & Kinley] were coming to see me. Well, not exactly
me. They're my cousin, Danielle's, little girls. Her family (the 2 little ladies plus her husband) came down for a beach vacation and to see our family. Anyway, I like to think that they came strictly to see ME - because they are two of my favorite little girls in the whole world! They got to the beach a couple days before Easter weekend. I couldn't leave from school until Friday. I wanted to do something special for little Ayda and Kinley. So, I decided to make cupcakes. I stayed up all night making the coolest cupcakes! They couldn't be just basic cupcakes with basic icing - too boring, and not special enough for Ayda and Kinley.
I tie dyed the cake batter with pastel Easter colors [which was A PROCESS]. Then I split the icing up in multiple bowls and dyed it in Easter colors as well. THEN, I decorated each individual cupcake. I even made custom cupcakes for Ayda and Kinley with their initial on them. I was SO excited. I just knew they would be a big hit!
So, the sun eventually comes up and it's Friday. After a day of running around, doing errands, and taking a Global Sourcing exam (YES, I studied the night before....in between baking, dying, and decorating) - it was finally time to go. I packed up the car- placed the cupcakes (which were in a perfect cupcake caddy) in the car - grabbed domino - and hit the road. First stop, gas station. I spent a whole 7 minutes putting the most expensive gas ever in my car (don't even get me STARTED on how much it cost me to fill up that day). Well, of course everyone knows how dangerous it is to keep the car running while pumping gas -
I suppose that's true. Therefore, I made the worst mistake ever: I turned off my car, which in turn, turns off the A.C. [Remember: this is Alabama weather we're talking about]
By now, you probably know where I'm going with this......
So, let's just let the pictures tell the rest of the story:
Gas Station / 7 minutes / Alabama Sun....
At least I THINK they still enjoyed them....
What do you think?
Ahhh, life.
