Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love cupcakes. They are my favorite dessert; actually they are my favorite food ever. Why do I love cupcakes so much? They are the perfect size, not too big and not too small. They are always so cute and when I eat one I don’t have the guilt like I do when I eat a giant piece of cake or a half of tray brownies (which I have been guilty of doing on more than one occasion). I especially love red velvet cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake. Yes, they are that freaking awesome. Being that I am a baseball mom I have sat at many a practices and one time actually heard other mom’s dissing on Georgetown Cupcake. These moms were saying they wouldn’t pay $4 for a cupcake and they don’t understand what all the hype is about and that the cupcakes weren’t that good. Now, I had words with these women because I consider myself the Anthony Bourdain of cupcakes and these are the greatest cupcakes around and they aren’t $4 a cupcake but $2.75 and if you get a dozen its $29. And if they don’t think they are that good then they are lying to themselves because they are un-freaking-believable. Haters!!!!!!! Needless to say, I am not the most popular mom on the baseball team.
It just so happens that my favorite youngest son aka Boogie has unfortunate sinus and allergy issues which requires Puffin or me to take him to an allergy specialist in Bethesda, Maryland. And being that there is a Georgetown Cupcake in Bethesda it is only natural that when we take Boogie to see his allergist we must stop and get cupcakes. Usually, I place my order online the night before so that we do not have to wait in line when we get to the store, this works out perfect for us since I hate waiting in lines although, I would wait in line for a cupcake from Georgetown Cupcake (think of it as waiting in line to ride Space Mountain at Disney). It should be noted that since the beginning of the year it has been Puffin that has been carting Boogie back and forth to Bethesda. And bless my Puffin’s heart because he would always make it a point to get me cupcakes (they freeze beautifully, in case you ever want to order any they do ship).
It just so happens that Sunday I was having a cupcake fit and not in a good way. I really needed a cupcake, and what do you know I look in the freezer and I have 2 left, 1 lemon cupcake and 1 red velvet cupcake. Well, Boogie came home from his BFF’s house and sees the 2 cupcakes on the counter defrosting. He asks me why they are out of the freezer and I tell him that they are for us after dinner. He then quickly shouts out, “I call the red velvet”, he has his mommy’s taste. I know that he loves red velvet cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake too, so like a good mom I say okay you can have it (I would not ever do this for anyone else other than my children because they have true appreciation for these cupcakes just like their mommy).
After dinner Boogie goes and gets his cupcake, my darling baby boy comes back to the dinner table with the lemon cupcake. I asked him why he didn’t take the red velvet cupcake and he said, “Mommy, that’s your favorite, you need it more than me.” My son really does love me…….. Of course because of his good and caring heart and for leaving me the last red velvet cupcake I took him to the bookstore and bought him several new comics. It truly makes me a proud mom to know that my boy selflessly gave up the last red velvet cupcake just to make me happy.
