After lunch, I went to visit my grandmother and take her my leftovers, where I spent about 4 hours. My car wouldn't start! It was horrible! The key doesn't turn right now and it takes quite a bit of finagling to make it work, but at least it does work, and for that I am grateful!
After the trama with the car, I went to the grocery store and picked up a whole mess of supplies! I'd committed to baking cupcakes and cooking sausages for my Sorority's Summer Potluck (Which went AMAZING! I'll have a write up on that for you Tuesday!) The cupcakes I wanted to make were ones I saw on Pinterest. They looked like owls and were so adorable, I just had to try them (owls happen to be my sorority mascot and my favorite animal)! But while at the store, I decided to also get some muffin mix and make some blueberry muffins!
I feel like they turned out really well. I was surprised that each one was almost perfectly golden brown
After the muffins were out of the pans, I started on teh cupcakes. I made them with some yummy yellow cake mix, and resisted licking the spoon!
They baked wonderfully as well. I think out oven (we just moved to this house) is pretty darn amazing, or I am! When the cupcakes finally cooled, I got to town trying my best to get them to look like owls. I used half oreos and brown Reeses Pieces for the eyes, an orange Reeses Piece for the beak, and, of course, chocolate icing to make it all stick. I was so proud of the finished product!
I was really surprised how well the little owls held up over night and on the car ride to the sorority house. Everyone thought they were adorable! Finally done with the baking, I curled up in bed with The Espressologist and quickly passed out. It was a busy, slightly hectic day, but, believe it or not, the next day was much more busy! But I'll get to that on Tuesday. Now I'm going to run off to bed and sleep my life away!
