Sometimes I wonder if my creative gene is just gone a little loopy or gotten lazy. Sometimes it doesn't turn on until a 2 am shower or in the middle of an important conversation. In other words at all the wrong or weird times. A friend asked if I would bake a cake for her daughter who was turning 15. Of course I said yes and asked what they would like. She wasn't sure but said you know my daughter I am sure you will come up with something good. Mind you I am finishing up summer programs at this point and a little loopy anyway so that might not have been the best idea.
15 is a tough age. At 16 you get your drivers license which makes it a lot easier but at 15 it is tough. So I searched my little brain and could come up with nada. Thank goodness for google. I started a google search for divine inspiration and intervention. Guess what, not so much out there for a 15 year old girl. There was one common theme that I kept tripping over and that was cupcakes. Everywhere I looked cupcakes were the big thing. Some were placed in a big design, others had very detailed decorations. It was all about the cupcake. Well knowing this young lady, let's call her Megan, she would like the popular theme but she would like it on a grander scale. Hence the cupcake cake. That's right, this cake is just slightly bigger than your typical two layer cake. It is baked in two pieces and decorated just like a cupcake, but on a larger scale. Megan's favorite colors right now are black and white. However mom did request a few other colors get thrown in for a girly outlook, hence the sprinkles.
Megan knew she was getting a cake but did not know what it was. She seemed thrilled with her trendy yet grand birthday cake and I was a little concerned that her dad might eat it on the way home. I have been assured that it made it home and was enjoyed by the entire family. Now that is a cupcake.
