The Cupcake Whisperer has turned another year old

It's my birthday today. We won't talk age, let's just say I've had my cupcakes with rationed butter. Back then Earth Balance was just a gleam in your daddy's eye. And Daiya Cheese wasn't even a thought.

God, could you imagine if your generation was when Daiya Cheese was born and you couldn't even imagine what life was like before it. Like what kids today think of 8-track tapes, writing in cursive with pen and paper, having to wait 5 - 7 days to receive mail! Instead of downloading an MP3 song in a matter of seconds you had to wait for the song to come on the radio all day long then record it with your cassette tape recorder. You were limited to talk on the phone in your house with a cord that was only 3 feet long. The cool families had the 20 feet cord! And the party line! How on earth did we live?

But one thing that has not changed since year BC, rationed butter and beyond are cupcakes. They've always been the same round little cakes with icing on top and simply delicious. Good things never change.

Well I was really just joking about my age. I'll know when I'm old when I don't sleep in the same room with my teeth. I will tell you that the year I was born:

• the average annual income was $9,400.00
• the average monthly rent was $140.00
• postage was .06 cents
• and this may still be true in some 'Deliverance' type places, joking, really I am.

 Today was a good day. I got many cupcake wishes and even got some cupcakes!

Check out Veganville, I'm tellin' ya, they are a party in your mouth. I also got some totally cute cupcake wrappers all the way from across a pond or two.

So you guys rock on with your bad self and I'll be seeing you on Vegan Cupcake Thursday probably till I get parts in commercials for walk in bath tubs for seniors and the classic; lifeline medical alert.
