Today was the cupcake celebration for my son at his school. I bring the cupcakes and the juice boxes. The teacher brings the kids down 20 minutes before dismissal so we can sing and celebrate. Me, I am just glad I have been able to pull this together the last 2 years, that is all the party he gets! Not including the one with his dads, the one with his Staten Island family, and the one with his other grandparents. The gift giving started tonight and will last 8 days as if it were Hannukah!
I am a gay dad, a primary care-giver, but not a baker. I had an offer from 2 friends to help me bake cupcakes and 1 offer from a friend to just outright do it for me. I chose the latter. Last year I bought cupcakes (and they were not easy to find) at Whole Foods and I was not happy. Not baking at your own house turned out to be so easy! They tasted great for the kids and I did not have to unload all my pots and pans out of my oven! Thanks Heide!
