Early one morning last week, I was excited to see a picture message of a pan full of cupcakes come across my phone. 
I know that the sight of cupcakes excites me, but the joy is even greater when others remember my love for them. After receiving the message, I jokingly replied, “Are you bringing those to the office”. To my great surprise, I get a call later in the day, saying that my cupcake is awaiting me! Nothing excites me more than knowing I’m about to have a cupcake!
My friend and co-worker, Casey brings up the Halloween cupcake that she and her two little girls, Taylor (7) and Riley (4) made the night before. Taylor and Riley, my “adopted” nieces specifically picked out one of their homemade, hand-decorated, Halloween cupcakes for me. Just for me!
The cupcake was a delicious vanilla cake with Halloween sprinkles dotted throughout. Orange vanilla frosting topped off the cake, and Halloween ghosts and bats completed the look.

There’s no doubt in my mind that this was the best cupcake I have ever tasted! It was made with love. Nothing can ever top that.
Emily, I love your spirit!! Your insight of cupcakes reminds me of thinking I’d enjoy delivering flowers, because it brings happiness to others. (as do cupcakes) – I just read your blog to Taylor and Riley, they loved it. I said, “wow girls!, that was so cool…we have to comment” Riley said…”say thank you!”. Taylor just smiled. Keep up your journey of the sweet truths!! 🙂
I’m so glad the girls enjoyed it! Thanks for the encouraging words too! 🙂
