We tend to view baking as not only a labor of love and a fun activity, but it can also serve as therapy when needed. October 30, 2010, was definitely a time we needed some baking therapy. Why? That was the day we were to receive the letters that would reveal our fate: our bar result letters (for those who do not know, we are both newly licensed attorneys). We had spent three years learning the law, three more months learning the law that we were to be tested on, and two eight hour days of testing. And this was the result of it all. So what to do when waiting on the mailman to deliver your fate? Why bake, of course! With a Halloween party the next night, we decided some "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin" inspired cupcakes were just the thing.
We have pumpkins, pumpkin patches, Snoopy as the Red Baron, Woodstock, Lucy as a witch, Pig Pen as a dirty ghost, the dude with the hat (I forget who that is), Charlie Brown, and of course, Charlie Brown as a ghost with too many eye holes cut in his sheet.
It was quite the endeavor, requiring half a dozen shades of icing, various tools for outlining and drawing, and most of the day (which is good, as the postman chose that one day to be three hours later than usual), but we were pretty pleased with the results!
