500 cupcakes.
I'm not kidding.
Our first Full Orchestra show of the season (Next Thursday! Eep!) falls on (or near, I can't remember exactly) the conductor's birthday. That night, we are also celebrating his 10th year with the Festival; we had planned to purchase cupcakes to pass out to each audience member at intermission. The cost proved to be exorbitant-- mini-cupcakes are in high demand these days, it seems. We were exploring alternatives to this dilemma when I opened my big mouth-- "You know, we could probably just make them." Further research into this possibility has proved it to be the most cost-effective by far, so we're plowing ahead. And since it was my big idea...
I am now the Fearless Leader of Operation Cupcake.
Oy Vey. Currently working on logistics-- more updates to come.

I have gotten myself into similar trouble on more than one occasion when I made the mistake of opening my mouth to say something like, "You know, I could make that pretty easily. . . ." Sheesh.
Good luck! You can do it!
Success! And as if I hadn't done enough baking this week, I'm making banana bread and cobbler on my day off...
