.Cupcake Madness.

A few weeks ago my roommate came up to me and said that she wanted to start back up the bible study we once were apart of. After a quarter break she felt that our little College Family needed to come back together and grow in God more. At the first meeting her and I decided that we would make a sweet treat for everyone. "Lets make awesome cupcakes!" I yelled as she walked in the door that tuesday afternoon, "OKAY!!!! LETS!!!!" She yelled back. After about an hour of searching we decided on the amazing cupcakes we were going to make. A fun little lollipop with candy wedges and green sprinkles, to make a cupcake look like a tulip growing in the yard. We had tons of fun making them, we knew that these would bring us great joy when we started, but who knew how much excitement a cupcake could bring until we were all finished. I have to say after finishing them all we talked like we were talking to babies. About how cute they were, and how awesome they were going to be for everyone, basically we fell in love with these flower cupcakes. We were excited for everyone to come over and consume them. We had an idea that they would like them, but we had no idea how excited they would be for them too! Everyone enjoyed them just as much as we did, and they basically got a kick out of the fact that we actually made them. We explained that we had to do something spring like and thats why they were getting flower cupcakes tonight. After everyone left and we were cleaning up it was then we decided that we would be making amazing cupcakes every week. I mean the bible study is out our house, we love making them, and people enjoyed them....so why not right? The following week it was raining ugly, so in light of the weather we decided that we would make amazing rainy day cupcakes. With airheads and food gel we made the best umbrella cupcakes one ever did see. These so far have been my favorite. Everyone got just as excited as the last time and loved them all over again. We had a great laugh when one of the guys managed to get the dye all over his lips then down his face, with everyone on the floor laughing and pretty much in tears it basically was the best moment of the night. As the next week rolled arounf people that attended our bible study, even those who just see the creations on facebook, were telling us that they were excited to see our next creation. Unfortantly my roommate had to work so I got the help from one of my best friends. Candy corn sunflowers anyone? Becuase sunflowers are my favorite and it is still spring we had to do them! They too turned out great and brought many smiling faces. When we first started we thought it would be difficult to come up with new ideas and accomplish them, but they haven't been all that hard to make, and its been a blast every time. One would be surprised just how easy it is to make flower cupcakes....3 steps and you've got colorful tulips! I've seriously enjoyed making the cupcakes so far. Its a kick hearing the questions of whats to come, and watching everyone come in and go straight to the kitchen so they can see what kind we made this week. Its fun to hear the questions and ideas everyone gives or ask us. Its also a great bonding exprience with my roommate and friends to just be able to make them and share them. This is just a little tradition that I will always remember once out of school, and that I hope the other coming do too. Fun cupcakes every tuesday make my life.



Until next time
