Yesterday was
like the best day.
The last week of
school is a “fluff week” including all kinds of fun activities like
mini-courses, a field day, an all-school picnic and an awards ceremony. But
yesterday was mini-course day, and as I spent the year doing the Food Fun after
school activity, I chose to do a baking mini-course. I was excited because I
had more time and freedom to do the things I love to do in the kitchen. So we
baked cupcakes from scratch, something we could never do at school.

After making the
mini-course a competition like Cupcake
Wars, six sixth graders (two teams) and I headed to the grocery store to
pick up the essentials and decorations to fit into the chosen theme: Summer.
Fifteen minutes of searching the aisles and brainstorming resulted in some
super fun, creative and delicious results.

The misshapen
(though scrumptious) chocolate cupcakes became the canvases for summer scenes
and warm-weather themes. There were marzipan suns with rainbow sprinkle
features, Swedish fish surfing on sweet boards, and fish swimming in clear blue
waters dotted with marshmallow fluff foam lined by graham cracker beaches.

Sour red and
white gummy life preserver rings rested on waffle cone sand, while summer drink
inspiration led to pina colada cupcakes with tropical pineapple skewers and
rich butter cream frosting slid down the wide waffle cone like ice cream
melting on a hot summer day.
I was supposed
to declare a winner. But I couldn’t. They all won at summer!
