"As a compliant patient" I'm currently pricing my local bakery for a quote to make 100 custom cupcakes decorated as mice - so when I hit goal, I can order the mice cupcakes and hand off one to each person in the department.  Or maybe I'll order 120, one for each pound.  

The problem is I don't think they're going to cut me a deal and will charge me $3  per cup.  A bit more than I wanted to spend on my goal.

whats the deal with mice?   as a kid my favorite toy was this little toy mouse.

why not get tofu mice?

Ooooh... we, uh, study the genetics of mice.

Also, I'm not sure who to commission tofu mice, and I imagine they'd go uneaten?

ok, how about marzipan mice!   so cute.  genetics must be interesting. spent a lot of time in rat lab in college.   anyway, hope you find an appropriate mouse item to celebrate. could get little chocolate mice with the right chocolate mold. even white chocolate.    diane

Wow, we'll have to compare notes some time!

 Too bad you don't live closer, I would bake them for you for nothing! I make awesome cupcakes. I love the idea of 120 of them, just make sure the extras go home with someone else! 

 Thats like when I look in the mirror now and think "God these pants make me look fat!" REALLY, Courtney-Anne, FAT? Does my brain not remember squeezing 319 lbs into a size 28? 

But you are not alone, that's exactly the way I felt at EVERY stage. These last 9 lbs feel like they are going to take 10 years. 

Let's race and the winner gets... uh... a stale mouse cupcake...

You could make mice cake pops. You could make 100 in about half a day and it wouldn't cost that much as you'd only need the ingredients for 2 cakes plus enough candy to coat them.

I have some cake pop recipes that are somewhat healthy too. No oil, butter, sugar, etc. but they still taste totally decadent. Because that's how I roll... if it doesn't taste as good as the real thing, I eat the real thing!
