The microwave trick worked beautifully. Thanks for the tip. :D

"Oh, you baked?" his teacher said this morning. I made a vaguely affirmative sound that wasn't exactly a "yes," so it wasn't exactly a "lie."

At this point, my son doesn't care about cupcakes. He can't standing to have frosting on his fingers (it freaks him out and he will wipe his hands on his clothes, his hair or some one else's clothes to clean them off), so cupcakes are kind of undesirable to him. But at least we saved face, he and I. He officially does not have the worse mom ever anymore (like he did yesterday morning)> ^_^
