I said i would go back and sink my teeth into one of those cupcakes one day ... i finally found an opportunity to buy a whole heap of sweets to try (and share) this weekend. Despite having the horrid migraine attack from sugar overload on friday night, i did what most sensible people wouldn't do - dive back into those darn sweet thangs! With the promise of free chicken rice dinner, i contributed my share of dessert straight from that lovely little patisserie down the road, picked up some cupcakes and tarts for everyone. Needless to say, they went quickly. They were delicious and soooo pretty to look at! This is gonna be my new potluck contribution, until we get sick of eating cupcakes then i would have to go find another yummy thing to bring ('cos it sure beats my average cooking skills!). I trekked all over the city today searching for presents to take home with me, mostly presents for the little tots 'cos i wanna be known and loved as the australian aunty who comes home once a year and brings back fantastic toys. These kids may not remember seeing me much growing up, but they sure as hell will remember when i'm back! Bribing - that's the sure way to make sure they still like you enough when you are old and hunched over in your rocking chair to bring you sweet sugar treats every day!
