What's my excuse this time?

The last time I spent a day like this it was because I was getting married and I (along with some wonderful help) was baking the coloured cupcakes that were going to be served as wedding cake.

This morning, I finished off baking a batch of cookies that I started last night but didn't complete as Hunter and I decided to walk to my grandparents' house. Then, after our walk today, while Hunter was napping I started baking a cake (the same kind that we served at our wedding). The plan was that I was going to serve my students cake on Monday morning as inspiration for a descriptive paragraph (2 weeks ago, I brought in a live bearded dragon, thanks Devon, for the same purpose). Well, as I was preparing cake I realized that I wanted to eat some and serving my students cake that has already been eaten from wouldn't be too cool, though I am sure they would understand. So, I decided to bake another batch and make it into cupcakes. So fun! So much baking. It's crazy. How can you tell I'm pregnant, eh? In one day.. cookies, cake and cupcakes. At least it's not all for me. I will share.

By the way, here's the recipe in case you want to get cookin' like me!
