No, we didn't win. Alas. They say that winning isn't everything, right? Well, that may be true, but winning sure does feel pretty great, huh? To put it technically, we didn't "place" BUT we are WINNERS just the same. Okay, enough already.

Jacqueline's hubster came home 2 weeks ago with a flyer for a cupcake baking competition at their neighborhood fair,
Gold Country Fair in Auburn. When she told me about it and suggested that it would be a fun way to enter our BIWB creations, in all honesty, I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I had JUST completed a marathon cupcake-baking frenzy the night before, and I was T-I-R-E-D of cupcakes, baking, cleaning the Kitcheaid bowl (someday...I will have 2 bowls!), doing dishes, yadda, yadda, yadda. So, I said: give me 24 hours to think this over.
24 hours later: Voila! We were entering the contest. Jacqueline would enter her FAB
Mint Julep and her
Chocolate Stout with Bailey's Frosting. I was going to enter my
Raspberry Liqueur and my non-BIWB
Root Beer Float. We were set. I was game as long as the contest was on a Sunday: it was. And, if I could bake everything on Saturday: which I could do. Check. Check.
