This is the spot of my blog where every month, there is a new theme.
THIS MONTH'S THEME:
Cupcakes!
And I know the best place to get them too: Saint Cupcake! That is where my awesome Aunt works, and my dad did a painting for them! He also wrote this story that, if you go to Saint Cupcake, you'll see painted on the wall:
The Story of St. Cupcake
The Story of St. Cupcake is not widely known. But those who remember it savor the tale like the aroma of warm cinnamon rolls on a crisp fall day. She was known as "the Baker's Daughter" in the quiet Northern town where she lived. Not a morning passed without the sight of the young woman, standing outside her shop in a cloud of flour, passing out freshly baked cookies to children on their way to school. Her Holiday Pie Parade had local families dancing in the streets. Her monthly Muffin Brigade delivered sweet comfort to the less fortunate.
Over the years, the generosity of the Baker's Daughter grew, as did her connection to the townspeople she served. Heartbroken souls found closure after tasting her bittersweet chocolate cookies. Anxious folk were soothed by her calming fruit cobblers. Listless laborers gathered strength from her eye-opening coffee cakes.
But the icing on the cake occurred when a young girl, long considered the town mute, was offered a pumpkin-spice cupcake by the Baker's Daughter. The entire town gasped as she took several bites, grinned widely and uttered her very first word: “Sweet!” It is said that this single event transformed a humble baker's daughter into Saint Cupcake, the Patron Saint of Sweet. Today, devoted followers claim that she continues to work miracles in this very bakery. Here you will find that there still is plenty of goodness to go around.
Just take a bite and believe.

Ok aunt Nancy I will try to put them up!
On this, the last day of your cupcake theme, I thought you would like to know about the largest cupcake in history, and it has been entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. It was 61.4 pounds, more than a foot tall and entirely edible. It took 16 pounds of butter, 10 pounds of sugar, and three ounces of food coloring. It was 150 times the size of a regular cupcake. Someone said it was actually baked in a gigantic cup!! I'm hungry!!!
