whats in that box?andrea and i got up early (for us) today in order to go do the one thing that most couples either leave up to someone else, take too seriously, or think too little about. thats right, we went to look at wedding cakes. but if you know either andrea or myself well enough you know that we do indeed LOVE cake, but a "wedding cake" is something for other couples. so, since we are young(ish) and hip(ish), we decided early on to try something a little different for our attendees. we hope you all will enjoy our desert selection since the reception wont have much in the way of a dinner.
SIDE NOTE: we also woke up tuesday morning to go to Sahm's where a nice lady name Ellen was nice enough to feed us pork kabobs and cheese at 9:30 in the morning. yes, you will be gnoshing on some good eats come july 19th.
ok, back to the yummy yum - our fantastic friend Kirsten Eamon-Shine was nice enough to purchase a box of what can be safely said was some of the best baked goods that have ever entered my stomach that didnt come our of a wrapper. just the look of these tasty little cakes, just by the halo of not-quite-healthy-but-its-good-for-your-soulness, it was decided.
the flying cupcake bakery is a super cute little shop in indy. its within stone skipping distance of the canal and rife with second handness - when you pay for your cupcakes youre standing in front of an OLD coke cooler, probably from the 50's or 60's based on the size of it. the owner and head baker, Gigi Powell (no relation to Dick's family at CTK) was super energetic and very helpful in all ways. i know how hard it is to be an enthusiastic seller in the morning, but really, her product sells itself. yea its a little pricey, but its hella good, kids. really, theyre great!
behold!

in other news andrea and i shared a tearful moment tuesday night as Obama clenched the delegate count to claim the title of "presumptive nominee" for the Democratic Party. andrea cant vote, and i know that voting as a citizen is really nothing more than nudging some other citizen with more political power to vote the way you want. that persons ribs must hurt after a while, ya know? anyway, as the two of us share this magical time, let us also recognize that in the USA, in 2008, there is an amazing candidate that has both broken the mold and played the game within the rules. i have no ill-will towards Clinton, but Obama is really something else....that something else being the direction i think this country needs towards.
hey, what did you expect from this blog? just pictures of cupcakes and magical knights riding unicorns?

I'm so glad the pink box full of sugar did the trick. Let them eat cupcake! (sorry)
Also, ditto on the Obama.
Dude, remember I am here to help in ANY way possible, so if more cupcake tasting is necessary, you let me know. I'm there FOR YOU!!!
Let the games begin!
Is that pixie dust on the red velvet cupcake? :)

All looks good! My kids love cupcakes. You had better put a sign out that says one per guest! Maybe just a sign that says Nic and Will, YOU only get one!
You know Ben (and Andrea) I really hope you are right about the Obama thing. I'm obviously a little worried about some of what he says but then I should realize, if he's gonna be the president of a country like ours he's going to have to care about ALL the people who live here and ask questions. He's certainly smart enough to know you have to "listen" sometime.
About the cupcakes...and delicious breakfast(?)snacks you've been sampling.....heck, you don't get up for just shopping at that hour so they must be good!
