Story

It was my after school care leader's birthday so we wanted to make cupcakes. We started at 8:30 but so many things went wrong it came out as a perfect cake at 12:00! We made it again as a Halloween cake and it took us just over an hour. It is very satisfying in many ways. It started as someone else's recipe and ended as my own!!!
