Baking Cupcakes


Yesterday I found a box of cupcake mix in the cabinets. I decided to make cupcakes! I mean it's a box and how hard can it really be?

Mixing Ingredients:

Reading Directions... 3/4 cup of oil IS BAD.... it's only 1/3 cup of oil! and 3/4 cup of water!
Mixer.. OH GODS IT'S FLIPPING CAKE EVERYWHERE
Cake on the floor, the counter and me!

Filling the Cupcakes:

The cupcake papers needed to be filled halfway up and then some marshmallow center applied and then filled up the rest of the way.

There's not enough cake in each of these cups! the bottoms must be covered!

I'm pretty sure that the box was done with simple graphics to mock me. I mean, my cupcakes so far look nothing like the ones on the box. The filling is going everywhere! Not a nice little blob in the middle of the cup like this picture indicates!

Once that's done it was time to put the rest of the cake into each cup and fill them up the rest of the way. But was is this?! It's not even! There's almost no extra cake to cover this filling on the last two cupcakes! I need to take some from over from this cake and put it over onto this cake! And now the filling on this one is showing! HOW DO I Make these even!!?? D:

At which point I realized I was channeling Twilight AND the CMC and realized I needed to get them into the oven STAT.

Baking went the smoothest. Here's the results....

Pinkie Pie showed up soon after they were out of the oven and before they are cool enough to actually eat.

Lucky D's Hostel, San Diego

Spent the night in Lucky D's Hostel in downtown San Diego.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash posing for a picture. Pinkie Pie had already run off yelling something about pipes and bats. My hope was that the building was still standing by morning.

Smile for the Camera

The Hostel group then went out to a club on a rooftop of some building somewhere. It was crazy. We had to stand in line until the guy showed up. He then said that we were all with him, and then they let us through for free. Then we had to walk through a very fancy resturant, to the back down a hallway, then into an elevator up a few floors. We got out on an unmarked plain white hallway, At the far end a guy stood standing and wanted to see our stamps. We showed him the stamp and he waved us through the doors and suddenly we were on a rooftop completely hidden from view. And that's how I found myself at a club. Complete with a dance floor, loud music, a pool to jump into when completely drunk and a very large expensive bar.
