F is for Frosting
Since tomorrow is my son’s 6th birthday, we thought we’d include his Kindergarten class in on the celebration by bringing cupcakes to school for everyone to partake in. Luckily Publix has this nifty creation called a pull-apart cake, which is basically individual cupcakes set up in rectangular formation then iced and decorated like a normal sheet cake would be. Any decorated cake they offer can be set up in this fashion.
My son, the dino nut, opted for a prehistoric theme…
Lovely, isn’t it?
The great thing about this cake is that there are roughly two and a half inches of butter-cream frosting smothering the tops of these 30 cupcakes.
In case you don’t know, most 5 to 6 year olds will only eat the frosting off the top of their cupcake, the actual cake part will end up (still wrapped neatly in its paper liner) face-down in the garbage can. Then said children will promptly ask for a second cupcake they can similarly lick clean.
Seems kind of like a waste of $40 but look at these faces…
Tomorrow, we embark on a birthday safari…stay tuned.
Who says 6 year olds are the only ones who eat only the frosting? I happen to know a few 30 year olds who do the same thing.
I may or may not be one of them.
Looks like a good time! Those cupcake deals are pure genius.
