Thursday Thirteen #12: Love In a Muffin Cup




  1. 2 boxes Devil's Food Cake Mix
  2. 1 pack Oreos
  3. 1 cup oil
  4. 2 2/2 cups water
  5. 6 eggs
  6. 1 oven, 360 degrees
  7. 50 heart muffin cups
  8. 1 mixing bowl
  9. 2 containers pre-made vanilla frosting
  10. red food coloring
  11. 1- mom, who has time to spend
  12. 1- 8 year old who just wants to help
  13. Love

On Wednesday, Her Highness and I made cupcakes together. She got all of my time and attention, something that happens very infrequently since the birth of The Conqueror 13 1/2 months ago. Usually, she gets tired, frazzled, cranky mommy who is at her wit's end and needs a glass of wine. Not Wednesday. I let her help. And lick the bowl.

Now that is love.

And it is priceless.

Happy Valentine's Day, my friends.

What a wonderful gals only project. And, Love is essential in baking...maybe why mine tastes like burnt tar.
