Day 49. Snowing Cats & Dogs.

Scored myself a shift at the shelter today. Only thing better than spending time with the puppies and kitties is getting paid for it. 7-year-old me would think current me is the coolest girl in the world right now.

I was accidentally bitten by 4 month old beagle puppy, Cupcake. Blood dripping from my finger and all I could say was, "who's thefiercestlil' girl...YOU are!! Yes, you ARE!!"

Gaaassssssshhhh they're cute.

I'm signed up to bake some cupcakes for a Humane Society fundraiser. Bake sales never get old. I'm torn about what to make, however: do I use raw cane sugar and whole wheat flour and try to make something delicious that isn't poison to the body? Or do I make the dirtiest, most sinfully delicious concoction I can think of? I tell myself that for the good of the animals, to raise the most money I should go with the latter. But that noble reasoning may also include my knowledge that I will have to taste test them...

My ideas on the table so far:
- red velvet cheesecake
- earl grey with lemon buttercream frosting
- root beer float

None of these would be my own recipe. I had the general ideas for each flavor but of course, 7000 people have already done this before. I just Googled recipes and went with prettiest pictures. As any true baker would.  I don't even know what I would make as a healthy alternative. I'm afraid they'll turn out too much like muffins...
