A friend of mine with a young daughter who was just about to finish school, asked me if I’d be interested in making some cupcakes for her daughter to take to school for a few of her teachers. Sounds like your standard-run-of-the-mill request right? Almost. These particular cupcakes were to be personalized according to the specialty of the teacher – music notes for the music teacher, etc. They were to be packed in boxes of 4, according to their various designs. The cake itself was the same for all of them – vanilla. The icing was the same, too – buttercream. The only thing separating these cupcakes were how they looked.
There were Stars for the Principal….
the stars are bright, and big at night.
….Music Notes for the Music Teacher….
cupcakes rock.
….and Keys for the Night Custodian (who helped them out of a jam on many more than one occasion).
the key to sweet, sweet happiness.
Honestly, I think my friend was on to something here. These could easily be altered to suit any teacher – equations for the Math Teacher…a test tube for the Science Teacher….a paint brush for the Art Teacher…or even a gym sock for the Gym Teacher…(an icing gym sock, not a real one, of course). 😉
