A while back, a friend of bg’s and mine in Australia sent us a cupcake mix (complete with papers and icing) after bg had complained about the lack of cupcakes in this country. So, today, bg came over and we made them. Cooking is always interesting with my leg barnacle/kitchen destroyer.

And because the mix made 12 cupcakes but 24 papers were provided, I whipped up a batch of wacky cake (no, not space cake, wacky cake) to fill up the rest and dyed some leftover cream cheese icing I had to make some more pink cupcakes, which gave us 24 yummy cupcakes.
By the time we were done it was early afternoon, borreltijd, or the time in the late afternoon when the Dutch like a snack and a drink. We had coffee with Baileys (me) and Amaretto (bg).

BG trying them – more yum!
And bg with Liam, who looks pretty comfy.
He hadn’t been so excited to only get a cookie, not a cupcake.

He really wanted liquid refreshment though.

And the cats just wanted each other and a comfy spot.

It was a really fun afternoon, and to cap it off, bg made me a lovely dinner. Very nice.
