Cupcake hint

Do not ice all 20 cupcakes and then have the 3 year old shake the rainbow sprinkles on top. If you ice the cupcakes all at once, the icing dries so when the 3 year old shakes the sprinkles, they roll off the top of the cupcakes all over the table and onto the floor. If the sprinkles are rolling all over the floor, you have to take them away from the 3 year old which makes him very mad and he throws a big fit. While he's throwing the fit, you have to vacuum the sprinkles off the floor around him. Once sprinkles are vacuumed and fit is over, you have to re-ice each cupcake and sprinkle as you go. This appeases the 3 year old but icing each cupcake individually will him impatient and he will growl and tell you to go faster.

At least an impatient 3 year old is probably better than the 6 year olds in J's class will be after eating double-iced cupcakes with tons of sprinkles. Won't a Friday afternoon sugar high be lots of fun!

I swear you and I are living parallel lives. Except that you're miss super-talented and I'm... not. Reading your cupcake post was almost like deja vu. Btw, why didn't the sprinkles people make them square instead of round so they didn't quite go EVERYwhere when spilled?
