Cupcake Fairy

So yesterday I was just in the most foul mood, reasons unclear but hardly important anyways. And just as I'm explaining to someone how I'm on the brink of really havin' a meltdown, the clouds part, the office door opens, and there stands a delivery man holding a half-dozen cupcakes with my name on them! And suddenly, all is right with the world.

I just can't express the mood elevation powers of a well-baked cupcake with perfectly swirled icing on top. It used to be just chocolate, but now any sweet treat can just shut off my bitch switch in a second (Sweetpotato wishes someone had explained this to him 4 years ago, poor spud).

Who is this mysterious Cupcake Fairy? That it's a woman goes without saying right? I mean a Y-chromosome could never pull off such a clever trick, nor do the Y's fully appreciate how a sugar rush can change the course of your existence. I mean, there's just about nothin' the right combination of sugar and lard can't cure.

Now the truly remarkable thing about this Cupcake Fairy, is that she's British, which means that she managed to have my favorite cupcakes from my favorite bakery delivered at just the moment I was about to snap off someone's head, and she did it all from another continent! And yet, I can't get my Chinese food delivered with a pair of chopsticks from 5 blocks away. This only proves that most people are morons, but the Cupcake Fairy is a genius.

So the lesson we've learned today kids? Cupcakes cure many ills, and if you have a particularly foul-mooded co-worker, I'd say a session in the kitchen is in order. Of course my favorite recipe remains Strawberry Cake (which of course makes perfect Strawberry cupcakes), and you can find it in my lil recipe book. And if by some miracle you don't have any bitchy co-workers, most likely indicating that you work from home, take this time to practice these cupcakes for any upcoming birthdays. Someone might be havin' one in 5 days and 45 minutes and 30 seconds...approximately.

And thank you, Cupcake Fairy...you may have saved my life yesterday-- or atleast that of my computer screen. (okay, so the "saved my life" part was a tad dramatic, but the computer screen was in serious jeopardy)
