Cake Time

So, I thought I had a great idea today, and Danny seems to be fine with going along with it! Yay!

It started yesterday at Newbury Comics. We were in the book section and a super bright happy eye catching book cover caught his eye (as it was trying to do.) It was this book Hello, Cupcake! There are some great Halloween Themed Cupcakes in there! They sell it at Target, and sometimes I see it when I'm on my way to the photo studio when I'm working. I browsed through it before, but it didn't occur to me that it was something I'd have the need to buy. How often do I make cupcakes anyway, right?

Part 2 of my idea occurred after the gym today when I drove by the Hostess Outlet store (is that what it's called? an outlet store?) Yeah, the Hostess Store, you know, Hostess, with the yummy fatty good snack stuff. And BAM it hit me. Everyone loves Hostess Cupcakes. I'm planning a wedding where a cake-type food is very much being looked forward by me. According to the Bridal Association, the average wedding cake costs $543! How much is a Hostess Cupcake? Less than $1. I could find many other wedding-related things to do and buy with a few extra hundred dollars I'd save on freakin' cake. Soo. . How about if I unwrap the little yummy chocolate cupcakes and add some home made awesome mm-mmm-good icing and flair to the top. We can make them Bugs, Jack O'Lanterns, Body Parts, Werewolves, Zombies. . etc!! It's perfect, and so much more memborable than a boring white covered wedding cake.

I think this will take a lot of pressure off. If you're reading this, let me know if you don't like those Hostess Cupcakes. Maybe I'm completely wrong about it, but I think I'm onto something here. If we go with the cake thing, there are going to have to be tastings, and it will get all drawn out and we have to pick a flavor and color and size and it'll get crazy. This way, it's chocolate and cream inside, and then yummy toppings. Maybe we will have a mini cake to cut just for some formality. And it'll be cute to take pictures. I always wanted a Head Cake with gooey brains inside. So, we can research that and see how it works out. But I'm totally thinking overall, we will go with the cupcake ideas.
