His favorite cake is carrot cake, but I&#8217;m mindful of the fact that he&#8217;s lost 50 pounds over the last year, and I don&#8217;t want to set his progress back.  (I say progress, but he could stop right now and be right at the medically ideal weight for his height.)  With that in mind, I found a <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Recipe\/Carrot-Cupcakes-with-White-Chocolate-Cream-Cheese-Icing\/Detail.aspx\" target=\"blank\">recipe for carrot cake cupcakes<\/a> that said it made 12 servings.  Easier to see exactly how much you&#8217;ve eaten if one cupcake is a serving.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you see how this turned out.  Personally, I&#8217;d consider 24 or so cupcakes to be more than 12 servings.  Maybe it means 12 servings if one of the guests is Michael Phelps.  Also, I have a cup of homemade cream cheese frosting leftover if anybody local wants it.  It&#8217;s not the frosting from the recipe &#8211; it&#8217;s cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and a little vanilla.  Normally, I like to bring extra food to my dad when we&#8217;ve got something really tasty, but there are times when I weigh the wisdom of bringing a sugar bomb to a diabetic.  Eh, he&#8217;s a grown man, he can make his own dietary decisions.<\/p>\n<p>My weight&#8217;s going up tonight, and I don&#8217;t care.  Dad, I&#8217;ll be foisting a couple off on you tomorrow &#8211; I&#8217;m not going out on my hubby&#8217;s birthday!<br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s my husband&#8217;s birthday today!
