Forget the cupcakes

Cathy, number one commenter on this blog, and longtime family friend, hosted a party the Sunday before Marie-Hélène turned one. For the party, I brought cupcakes. I had in mind to bring chocolate cupcakes filled with cream, but the night before, realised that I didn’t have the necessary muffin-tin for extra deep muffins. In the end, the ingredients on hand only allowed for chocolate-chip muffins, which turned out alright. Not fantastic. Just alright. In honor of her birthday, Cathy gave Marie-Hélène the biggest cupcake, and after we blew out the one candle, she filmed Marie-Hélène’s proceeding mess, on her phone. You can see that here.

It wasn’t until this past Saturday that we saw our mistake… Marie-Hélène is alright with cupcakes… but when it comes to chocolate covered cookies… Well…!

Dear Grandpapa who brought home Arnott’s Chocolate Biscuits and handed her one, just to see what she’d do… What have you unleashed? A chocolate eating monster who would have devoured as many cookies as she could until she got sick, is what. A girl who can pinpoint the exact day her lifelong love of fine chocolate started… Just look at those guilty chocolate-monster eyes!
