It's been a fairly quiet but enjoyable weekend around here. Saturday morning we visited another potential flat to buy but sadly it was yet another disappointment. We have visited over 20 flats in the past four months, but we still have hope to find the perfect home before the end of the year (it's important to dream).
Today, I spent quite some time in the kitchen baking for our little afternoon outing and as it turned out, my purple cupcakes were simply not meant to be. First we ended up catching the wrong bus and not going to the park we had in mind. Then, just as we sat down to experience an intense sugar rush, L. tripped on the picnic blanket and landed hands first in the freshly baked goodies. And finally - as if that wasn't enough - some kid accidentally kicked his football my way and knocked the glass of hot tea I was holding, all over the squashed cupcakes. Et oui, c'est la vie!
oh noes :( but is that one of the said cupcakes in the picture? looks delish. I cannot get enough of cake at the moment. it's quite the challenge.
ReplyDeletesending you all my best vibes that you find your dream flat soon!!!
Ha, I made cupcakes on the weekend too, except mine were iced green and for a party full of terrible twos (who weren't terrible at all). Too bad about the death of your pretty cupcakes, at least you took a "before" photo!
ReplyDeleteat least you got a pretty picture of one :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! What a shame, that looked scrummy! House hunting can be such a stressful time, I hope you start having better luck and find your perfect place soon x
ReplyDeleteBummer, I just love cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it wasn't funny to you at all, but I had to giggle at the scenario. :\ Nothing worse than wasted dessert!
ReplyDeleteOh no! But that cupcake is as cute as it can be!
ReplyDeleteOh no! But that cupcake is as cute as it can be!
ReplyDeleteoh, dear, poor cupcakes!
ReplyDeletelooks like they were delicious too.
haha, sorry, that just seemed so bad, I kept laughing!! haha.... but the cupcakes look so cute!
ReplyDeleteAND good luck finding place. Remember, once you find the right place, you'll feel it and will be so worth the wait!!
yikes, sounds like a dramatic outing, sure those cupcakes tasted just as good squished.
ReplyDeleteoh no, that sounds like a comedy of errors! just catching up on your blog, love the greece photos. and the i-wood is pretty funny :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i have a giveaway on my blog right now for the book 'the yoga of birth.' thought it might be relevant for you. x
Oh dear! It sounds like a comedy sketch. I bet a nice glass of wine was in order :)
ReplyDeletethank you for showing so much compassion towards my poor cupcakes. you are too sweet! luckily, i had left some at home so we were able to enjoy some the following day. As for the flat, we are hoping things will work out the way we want them to! Bises
ReplyDeletepoor little cakies... I had a similar experience recently with pikelets (small pancakes)... I carried them to a picnic in a bag with a water bottle that leaked all over them. They were like heavy wet sponges! Totally disgusting, Oh well!
ReplyDeleteThat cupcake in the picture looks mighty fine, though! x
oh no!! it's like those little cupcakes had a magnet for disaster on them!
ReplyDeletehaha! Thats one bad day! Sorry girl!
