Fathers Day Continued...

As I mentioned in my last post, Mylinh and I started to get pretty dang tired when baking/assembling those hamburger cupcakes. But what I forget to mention is how loopy and delirious we became. "Things" started happening as a result...

At one point, I had the last batch of cupcakes in the oven. These ones were supposed to be our "perfect" batch because we figured out how much batter to use in order to get the perfect bun size. To save time I wanted to put the last batch of "fries" in the oven at the same time, and so in they went.

But later, when I went to check on them, I ended up peeking into the oven, slamming it shut, and laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Why? In my delirious state of mind, I set the pan of fry cookies ON TOP of the cupcakes. Needless to say they turned out less than perfect...

The funniness was amplified by our tiredness. We were both crying from laughing so hard. And it wasn't my normal watery eyes, it was full on crying. But it's one of those moments that we'll never forget. :)

DON'T BAKE WHEN TIRED.

Father's Day...and MORE cupcakes??

Yeah I know, it's a little much. But we had been planning this for MONTHS so we couldn't not do it.

We decided to surprise John for his first Father's day as an actual father. First of all, we bought him a chococat bento! Originally we wanted to get a specific panda one, but had to make due with what was in stock. Hey, it's cute anyway though right?

And what did we put in this adorable bento? Not a lunch, but adorable little "burgers" and "fries"! Mylinh and I saw this idea on bakerella months ago, and planned on making it for fathers day before their baby was even born.



The process was crazy. It might not have been so bad normally, but we had to hurry and try to get these done in about 3 hours. While we were making them our backs and feet started aching and we started complaining "UGH John better appreciate this!" About halfway through we pledged not to make any more cupcakes for a while...


On Father's day itself I delivered the burgers and fries to John in a Jack in the Box bag. (his favorite) and told him that I brought him lunch. I think it's safe to say he was surprised by what was really inside. Mission:ACCOMPLISHED.

I'd say we're a pretty awesome baby mama and....uh...whatever I am, for doing this! <3
