SKL Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Guess what I'm going to do tonight? I'm going to buy CUPCAKES for my kid to distribute at school for her birthday tomorrow. (I did get the teacher's permission first.) ETA: I should specify that these will be MINI cupcakes. Not full-blown cupcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyandbob Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 You are going to buy CUPCAKES? So, you are going to a store and a SHOPPING CART will be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I don't know. Even with the teacher's permission I think you should send a courtesy email to the entire class spelling out exactly whay kind of cupcakes so they can be prepared with an appropriate healthy treat to combat the evil cupcake.

SKL Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I figure since the previous birthday treat in their class was chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes shouldn't make people too angry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyandbob Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I figure since the previous birthday treat in their class was chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes shouldn't make people too angry.... I like birthday treats, but another side: My dd has celiac, she's fine with not eating shared birthday treats. However, more than once she's been eating lunch (the time when treats are generally passed out) and a birthday child has dropped treats right on her food or in her lunch box (after dd has refused the treat), thus causing her not to be able to eat anything. So, just a PSA, when someone says "no" it does not mean "give me one anyway to eat later." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 What we really need is more info on the cake to frosting ratio. (Happy Birthday, kid!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and it's also disappointing when someone says, "I got a special one for you!" only to see that it was packed up in the same container as the rest of the batch containing the allergen.

Garga Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Oh, for crying out loud! Kids don't need cupcakes. They need donuts. Frosted, cream filled donuts. With coconut on top. Or, if you can't swing the donuts, at least get them Twinkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I hope that by "cupcakes" you actually mean mini rice cakes frosted with an avocado spread. Serving anything less nutritious than that makes you a child-hating puppy-kicker in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Maybe there could be some sort of contest or exam and only the winners get the cupcakes... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just make sure they're organic, gluten free, dairy free, nut-free, fat free, sugar free, and contain no artificial colors or sweeteners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Maybe we can have a Mini "Kerfluffle"! Some of the things you say are so funny when paired with your avatar. It looked like a gang of ducklings picking a cupcake fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 This is the best thread I've seen in a while. No drama (until the cupcake haters find it), general silliness in a snarky sort of way (YAY!) and cupcakes! Hot damn. Also, where is my mini cupcake?

blondeviolin Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just make sure the frosting is not neon because then it stains! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 As a preschool teacher, for the love of God, parent, pls teach your kids how to eat a cupcake. Not "Step 1: Smash face into the 2 inches of neon frosting. Step 2: Eat the paper and leave the cake." We've had 3 birthdays in our class this month, two involving the above sort of cupcakes. 2 kids had rings on top of the cupcake. One mom made homemade cupcakes without paper. God bless this mother. I'm not whining about teaching preschool. I'm just saying cupcakes, while yummy bits of delicious happiness, are also a pain in the...well, just about everywhere, because that's where they end up. Have mercy. YMMV, and this doesn't apply to older kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
