Remember how I said I was bad capturing the magical moments? Well I decided to remedy that this Father’s Day. Actually, Joelle and I decided that we needed to have pictures of Dad’s cupcake trick. I think this was something he did when he was growing up with his three brothers (God Bless my grandmother!). We have all had this trick pulled on us and he even did it to Jill too. The only pour souls left who didn’t know this trick were Jack and Henry. Dad was worried about hurting their feelings but Joelle was confident that she could set the boys up to think this was really funny. And as you can see below she did a great job!
This was quite the tricky maneuver. Joelle needed to make some excellent cupcakes with nice fluffly frosting on top. We had to set the table so the boys had room on either side of my Dad for dessert and Dad had to use his excellent hand eye coordination to get both of the boys at almost the same time before they realized what was going on. Total success! (Please note that I realize these aren’t the sharpest pictures but here’s a case where the pictures are priceless regardless of their technical shortcomings.)
1. The set up. ‘Do these cupcakes smell funny?’
2. One Down (Watch out Jack, you are looking the wrong way!)
3. Two down (Note the awesome cupcake stuck on Henry’s face!)
4. An awesome reaction.
5. Post cupcake smash faces. Turns out Henry was a bit upset with our big reaction so there were a few tears. To help stop those tears Dad smashed his own face in a cupcake.
6. Clean Up on aisle 3.
A big thank you to Jack and Henry for being such good sports. Public Safety Warning…never smell a cupcake within arms reach of my Dad!
