Number 2 is turning 7 in July, but his first grade class wants to celebrate him before school is out for summer vacation. So, as the mom of a clan obsessed with Bear and his cliff-hanging, snake-eating, and camel-gutting, I did my part in creating a tough and dirty boy cupcake. This is the closest I’ll ever get to eating worms. One box cake mix makes 24 cupcakes plus a small section baked in a loaf pan, which I crumble and use for dirt: Store-bought frosting… …and a light dunk in the “dirt”. With all that dirt…Don’t call me “cupcake!” Eeewww…it’s an earthworm. Bear would’ve preferred a gummy scorpion or grub. Sorry to disappoint. Now Number 2′s class will know that around here, we are all-boy, all-survival, all-dirt… …and all very well-loved by a girlie Mama.
