Strike 2

Yesterday was MIL's birthday.  We took her out to dinner, then stopped by the cupcake shop for a birthday treat to take home. (Monday is another bake day for creme brûlée...). It just wasn't meant to be, I guess, because they had closed up shop for the night.  Never mind that it was still several minutes before the pistes closing time.  I knew we were cutting it close, and had already come to terms with the idea that I probably wouldn't get what I wanted.  Frankly, I'd have been less disappointed if they were just sold out of my cupcake of choice.
