Maryland Day Madness
I'm alive! I swear! I've just been... super super busy the past few weeks. Between work stress and volleyball and event after event piling on one after another, I barely get a chance to sleep, much less talk about cooking and baking! So apologies to those of you in my neighborhood-- I haven't been able to look at any of your posts, and you guys must have made some amazing food since the last time I visited Vox! I can't wait to start eating my way through your entries! :D
But after quite some time away, I am (sort of) back! I'll keep this first post short and sweet. Very sweet indeed.
This past Saturday was the celebration of the 10th annual Maryland Day at the University of Maryland. In celebration of the event and the landmark anniversary, the school decided to make 50,000 cupcakes-- enough for one for each student. They didn't take into account, however, that approximately 6000 of those students are Jewish and were observing Passover, meaning that they couldn't eat these cupcakes. Aw boo. But what is their loss is my gain! Yay cupcakes!
The cupcakes themselves weren't all that spectacular. Who in their right mind would attempt making 50,000 gourmet cupcakes? So these cupcakes were simple and straightforward, but they did their job well. And what was most impressive? The design the 50,000 cupcakes made:
Wow.
(I actually saw them assembling the cupcakes late the night before...)
