Once of my lessons for yesterday was that a little help goes a long way. However, I didn't have any pictures for that so the lesson I scrapped was that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones. Or perhaps that necessity is the mother of invention?
I made about sixty of these cupcakes for a friend's birthday party: chocolate with pink, cinnamon and cream cheese icing and topped with a malteser and some edible glitter because, darling, it's the thing. Slightly 70s disco-ball-esque, but cute.
Ready to go, present and cupcakes in tow, I realised I hadn't got a card. So I stuck one of the full size cupcakes in a box, labelled it "Eat Me" and addressed it to her. And I'm so keeping this idea for the future. Christmas, bring it on!
