Cupcakes

Every other week or so during the school year, I meet with a lady named Eileen.  She's a quite a bit older than I am, but she's hip and fun and fabulous.  She has a beautiful house and when I go over she'll make me tea and bring out her latest batch of yummy goodies.  Then we'll talk about our crazy lives, discuss the book we're reading, and close out by praying for each other.  She's a wonderful mentor and friend, and she is currently interested in opening a cupcake shop.  She's been doing lots of research and such, and today we took a trip to Knoxville to try out some of the cupcakes shops there, to see how they decorated, what kind of cupcakes they sold, how much they cost etc.  We made it to four different shops and got at least two cupcakes at each shop, and then we'd share it.  In all we had two different orange creamsicles, a chocolate peanut butter, a basic chocolate and vanilla, a lemon, an ice-cream sundae, a pecan pie thing, a berry sangria, and a chocolate and chocolate.  And then we also got fresh squeezed lemonade.  Can we say sugar overload!  An overall delicious sugar overload!  It was a tough job, being a cupcake taste tester, but somebody had to do it...
