Cupcake Disaster

Here is the finished cupcakes of my night of disasters!  Today was my last day ( :-( ) in my class and so I thought it would be a nice touch to bring in a little treat for my students.  In my mind, cupcakes are easy and can be made cute, so that is what I decide to do.  In my practicum class, there are 25 students plus the teacher, so I needed 26 cupcakes.  I bought one box of Funfetti cake mix and frosting and go to make these things.  Well, I need another box now because the serving size is only 24 . . . back to Kroger I go! I get another box and start making the cupcakes at Jens apt because our ovens stink here! I get over there and start to make the cupcakes fairly large because I have enough for 48!  Well, the first 12 are a bust and are black on top and VERY undercooked in the middle ...  I threw them right in the trash!! So, the next 12 are looking good!! Phew!! The next 8 were looking great {poet and didnt even know it!} until I got to fill #9-12... they were about 1/2 the size of the other ones!! Now I have 20 good ones and 4 small ones... STILL 2 SHORT with no more batter!! I am soooo irritated at this point that I about throw them ALL away and go buy a bag of oreos!!  I go to observe the stars for one of my classes and then force myself BACK to Kroger to get, yet another, box of Funfetti cake mix!  It is now 10pm and thank the LORD, they worked out!!  I now went from 6 short to 26 good ones and 19 extras!!  Jen and I frost them and then decorate them with Kissables to give them a little extra touch! They didnt turn out as cute as I had hoped, but at 1am . . . they were looking GREAT!! Anyways . . .  I took them in today and the kids LOVED them!! It was so funny to see the different manners the kids had!! 2 kids did a dance for me and sang. . . some hugged me  . . . most yelled Thank You . . . but they all are SO CUTE! 

I  will miss them - - - but. . . I must admit that I am going back tomorrow!! They have been working on a Social Studies drama for a while and they are presenting it many times tomorrow and they asked me to come, so of course I am!!
