This morning I woke up to a cold rain coming down
with a good bit of wind and the gloomy morning turned
into a gloomy afternoon as well.
A good day to stay inside.
Had to make due with getting my steps done walking loops
around the basement.
Did a little bit of cleaning but not very much.
After lunch we went to the library and I picked up a book
that was on hold for me and also got the next book in the
Little House on the Prairie series.
This afternoon I baked some cupcakes for Sunday for the kids in
Sunday school. I baked 4 dozen chocolate ones today and will bake
2 dozen white ones tomorrow.
These are special cupcakes that have money inside.
It's an annual thing and the kids really look forward to it.
The money is folded up in tinfoil and put at the bottom of a
cupcake paper. The batter is then poured on top and
baked as usual.
The rest of the rainy day I read.
Tonight I'm going to start knitting another slipper
and sew some weave-it squares together.
I have just 8 more squares to make to finish the latest baby blanket.
That's been my day.
Hope your day was a happy one.

I assume the money is coinage.
No, it is bills tightly folded up. Most have dollar bills but three of them have a 5 dollar bill.
I'm glad you answered my question ( previous comment reply). I thought it would be coins too. My mom would sometimes make a cake with different things in it. I remember a coin meant you'd someday be rich; a button meant you'd be a bachelor; there were other tokens too but I can't remember them.
...priceless cupcakes!
Ive never heard of doing money or surprise cupcake. These comments are interesting too.
Cool Idea. I bet the kids really do look foward to this.

I wished they had those cupcakes when I was a kid.
I sure wish they put money in cupcakes when I was a kid, lol. What a nice thing to do for the children. So glad your basement is large enough for you to get some walking exercise done when the weather is inclement. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wow! I thought they were coins too until I read this comment and answer.
I am sure the kids love those cupcakes.I remember Mom putting money in a birthday cake on occasion.That was so special.
It was rainy and windy here too, of course. Since we didn't do our shopping on our normal day we were out and about in the rain today. :) I like your way of spending the day...inside doing fun things. I know the kids at your church will love your cupcakes! Thank you for brightening someone's day by doing that.
November does give us some gloomy days, for sure. Your sunset photo from the porch is gorgeous (from the day before). I have been practicing with my phone camera, but not having the success you do.
Hello, it has been rainy and windy here. I am sure the children love these money cupcakes. Enjoy your day and weekend!
Hi Happyone, The idea of putting the money at the bottom of the cupcakes for kids is just wonderful. Your church group sounds great! Thanks, as always, for sharing and have a great weekend! PS I left you a reply for your last comment on my blog.
I guess the tin foil must protect the cash nicely during the baking then.
You read? That is the best thing you can do on those rainy days.
What a fun thing for the kids! They'll remember that for their whole lives! Hope you have a good weekend! It's cooled off here some so I was out on the trail this morning. Hugs, Diane
I've not heard of money cupcakes before, I am sure the children will really enjoy them.
All the best Jan
Money cupcakes...who knew? I can see why the kids would enjoy that.
I've never heard of that either. Sounds like fun for the children. You are always doing something good.
