What Happened To my Cupcakes

A few weeks ago we were having a big family birthday party for all the June birthdays in my husband's family (there are 5 or 6). I was in charge of dessert. So I made these wonderful lemon chocolate chip cupcakes with homemade chocolate ganache. I was really excited about them because it was my first time making ganache and it turned out perfectly. I put them in the back of the car and propped them in place with a computer tower that I needed to take to D.I. so they wouldn't slide around. And I instructed my husband to drive cautiously, just in case. Well, 3/4 of the way there, he took off from a dead stop on an incline and this is what happened to my cupcakes...



There's another set of cupcake prints on the other side of the computer. Needless to say, we ended up swinging by the grocery store to get an apple pie for dessert. Bummer.

dang it!! that's the worst! presentation is everything. one time my husband smashed my sugar cookies and he couldn't understand why i didn't want to give them to the hostess. he said, "it still tastes the same..." blah blah. but i refused, and we too made a run to the grocery store.

Ahhhh booo! I'm so sorry! My mom makes wedding cakes and I can not drive with her to deliver them because I am constantly worried about them in the back! Yikes!

Oh man, I would be so sad! After all the effort to make them. :( Did you at least get to eat some of the ruined ones? I bet the ganache was yummy!

So SAD! They sounded delicious!

Actually they look like an ink blot test! 'What do you see in them...Apple Pie?'

Yes, we did try a few of them and they were yummy. Actually, only half of them got smashed. But there weren't enough left to feed everyone, so I had to get the pie. And then I was mad that some people chose store bought pie instead of the cupcakes that didn't get smashed.

Nicole, my husband tried to say the same thing and tell me we didn't need another dessert!

My hubby always has some random computer in his car too...he swears he doesn't steal them, he just is recylcling them for parts...whatever....I just hate them always being an extra thing in the car.

Oh man that stinks big time. Just so you know I would have chosen a smashed one over a store bought pie.
