A Sweet Proposal.
After 7 years together, Taylor finally found the perfect way to do it.
The fact that he did it on April 1st didn’t occur to him until AFTER the fact. Made it a bit tricky to tell the family as everyone’s first thought was it was all a hoax (wouldn’t that have been cruel).
Taylor woke up at 5:00am this morning and started baking. Mind you I’m the one that usually does the baking – he’s watched me make gobs of cupcakes but has never actually done it himself. 12 dozen later – I think he’s got it down. And he managed to do it quietly AND clean it all up before I even stirred. Granted, they weren’t frosted – but I cut him some slack. :) We frosted them together tonight.
They were the same delicious chocolate recipe that I made him for his birthday… but for the frosting, instead of a vanilla bean, I added a few tablespoons of some Raspberry Sauce (leftovers from a repeat of the delicious Molten Chocolate Cakes, just with raspberry sauce rather than blue/blackberry.) I’m sure some raspberry extract, preserves, or pureed fresh/frozen raspberries would work just as well. Delicious. :) And bite-sized – so 12 dozen of them will probably be gone quicker than we think!
Edited: Obviously I said yes!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I assume you said yes, since it wasn’t explicitly specified. That would be an amusing (and cruel) joke to say no to Taylor and then post that.

How clever of Taylor.
I can not believe the smell of chocolate/baking did not wake you up!
Did you spell out your answer in cupcakes too?
We couldn’t be happier!
Love,

Congratulations on the proposal and on so many delicious cupcakes! StumbleUpon led me to your website, and I’m glad it did. Good vegetarian recipes are always a desired blip on my radar. Thanks for being in the blogosphere.

I’m so happy for you both! I can’t imagine two more wonderful people and isn’t it a miracle that you ended up finding each other just in time to make the rest of your lives special.
I send all of my love and good wishes to you both!

I think this is not only the beginning of the next phase of your relationship, I think it is a new typeface. Cupcake bold.

So, uh, this is several months late and completely off topic, but you wouldn’t happen to remember where you got that rug from would you?
And belated best wishes!
