WHO | Harper & Eileen
WHERE | Sherry's Bakery
WHEN | Noonish
On most days, Harper had a difficult time deciding what she was going to wear and bake. It was like she had to come up with a general theme for the day and it had to be reflected in both her ensemble and her baking. She had postponed opening the shop quite as early as she usually did and decided to go for a walk. She had tried to bribe Crayola off of the sofa, but he refused. 'I don't know how stupid you think I am, but I am not walking out in the rain. Forget. It.' In the end, she gave up and threw on the first thing that she found hanging in her closet. And naturally, the outcome was deliciously tacky. Walking through the park was the absolute perfect idea because that's where Harper found her inspiration for the rest of the day. Are those... THEY ARE. FUCKING GLITTER BERRIES! She couldn't tell you exactly how she managed to carry as many as she did back home without a basket or even without popping one into her mouth, but she did. As soon as she came in, she dumped them into a bowl and proceeded to mash them up, add sugar and cream and food coloring until she had the perfect icing for cupcakes. Once she had the day planned out, she ran back upstairs so she could whip up several fliers to be posted on the few streets surrounding the bakery. Then she jumped right into making what she thought would be her finest masterpiece to date: glitter cupcakes. She was just setting some on the shelf when the bell over the door rang, announcing the arrival of a customer. "Can I help you?" She beamed from across the counter. |
