Bringing Home the Bacon

It’s been a crazy couple of days- over 100 cupcakes and not nearly as much sleep as I’m used to. But what made it all worth it is the way I felt (relief) the second I dropped off this rushed golf cupcake order, or surprised a few coworkers with celebratory cupcakes. 

You’ve seen the golf cupcakes before, but when I was deciding what to make for my boss’ birthday, I decided to cook up a new look for the cheeseburger cupcakes. I managed to find gummy bacon online, and was shocked at how realistic it felt and looked. While the packaging had a warning NOT to cook the gummies, their strawberry smell and taste was indication enough for me that a frying pan was not a good idea.

With all of these recent orders, I was able to invest in a second mixer to keep at my other HQ on Long Island. It was embarrassing how excited I was to bring it home and try it out- the box was even buckled in on the drive home. The hard work, cheesy as it sounds (the puns!), paid off, and now I’m treating myself to a little vacation away from the city and cupcakes.
