Hey - 52 - that kind of means you made it, right? That you've made a cupcake for each week of the year? And it's not even over!
So...what are you going to do next? The next 52 cupcakes? Something new?
I can't stop, I've gotten into a rhythem and really miss it when I don't bake. I've got a huge back log of ideas. I guess I'm going for 100.
That's great, though. It's weird how much a part of your life it becomes, isn't it?
