I thought when soccer season ended I was done with baking - especially since we’re traveling for the holidays. I should have known better.
This is my children’s last week of school and all of the classes are having Christmas parties. I was asked to make brownies for my son’s class. No biggie - brownies are easy to make and for him to carry to school. However, I am one of three class reps for my daughter’s class and as such, I’m responsible for helping to organize her class’s party.
We’re trying to keep things fairly simple. The children will bring their lunch as usual only we’ll take them outside to have a picnic and play a few games. Duck-duck-goose with a Santa hat should get a giggle out of them. It was also suggested that someone should bring in cupcakes for a special treat. After the mix-up that occurred with my daughter’s soccer team where they ended up with no cupcakes, I felt compelled to volunteer to bring the cupcakes - all three dozen of them.
Sigh.
Oh well - at least they’ll actually have cupcakes. I’m planning to top them with white frosting and stick a peppermint to the top for a little extra holiday fun.
Ah, I remember the days of school parties and baking. The cupcakes look pretty. I love cupcakes so can you send me a virtual one?

The party went well and the cupcakes were a hit. Phew!
