The Uneatable Cupcake

In quite a few kid friendly cookbooks and magazines I have seen that a nice treat for kiddos is frosted angel food cupcakes. And for extra added fun let them frost them! And to that I say DON'T DO IT! As fun as it should be to frost cupcakes, these were no ordinary cupcakes. Anyone who has ever had angel food cake should instantly know where the problem lies. IT IS AIR! Therefore impossible to hold to frost be cause they just squish, and lets face it, children are far from being "delicate" when holding things, especially if they are trying to concentrate on getting

frosting on to a delicious treat they will soon devour. Oh, and you
can't eat them either. They are trick cupcakes. They look delicious and innocent enough, a nice tasty treat. Until you take a bite, the whole thing folds and you end up with frosting all over your face and hands. Ha, ha! You didn't really need the empty calories anyway! Lets just say is was a bit of a cupcake disaster. Little Moo couldn't frost his and just ended up eating the frosting (which I am sure he didn't mind) and anyone else ended up with cake in their face. I'm pretty sure the term "angel" just didn't fit the bill with these treats. Silly Mommy!
