    Smile Cupcakes + cake carrier + bike ride ...

    Today's lesson: cupcakes in a nice, roomy cake carrier (plastic plate with large Tupperware lid) bungied to the bike rack will do somersaults when you hit pot holes. I assume it was the pot holes. I wasn't watching the cupcakes, I was watching the terrible condition of the road.

    On the other hand, they still taste good, look acceptable after some quick re-icing, and the morning's (one mile) ride lessens any guilt at eating one.

    Were you taking the cupcakes to a particular destination, or just out for some fresh air? Perhaps little cupcake helmets would minimize the frosting damage

    Thank you for the morning smile.

    They needed a journey to the greatest of all scavengers: the office kitchenette. I'm sure you see the problems with a dozen cupcakes sitting on my own kitchen counter, day after day. And I needed to bike today because it had rained Monday and Tuesday.

    I picture them in little cupcake cages all over the bike. With little cupcake helmets. Crud. Now I want a cupcake.

    They were chocolate, using the Betty Crocker Black Midnight Cake recipe, substituting 3/4 c butter for the 3/4 c shortening and reducing the water to 1 c. Baked ~ 15 minutes. Also, rather than dumping and mixing, used the traditional creaming method (cream butter and sugar, add eggs, sift dry ingredients together and add alternating with remaining wet ingredients). The icing was the Wilton buttercream used in the decorating classes, substituting butter for half the shortening, and reducing the water by 1 or 2 Tbs.

    I think I can ice some helmets onto those cup cakes ... what a great idea for our next bike and barbecue (bike Fairmount Park, then grilling back home)!

    I'm thinking little cupcake helmets and teaching them to ride clipless so they don't bounce around so much!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    LOL - thats so funny. Reminds me of the Jelly Bean shower I gave myself going over a bump at the wrong time. Those little beans sure can bounce high.
