Marie Antoinette Moments

Last night the now largely defunct EECC was resurrected for the great and noble purpose of baking. And bake it did.

Three hours and 48 cupcakes later we retired our whisk (no electric mixers for us thank you very much) and drank tea.

And so today the future Mrs Medvedev and I took these little parcels of sugar and joy to the founding place of the EECC for a chance to catch up with old colleagues. Needless to say they were very well received*, perhaps none so well as the one personalised cupcake.

Looking at this iced perfection you could easily be forgiven for thinking that the Phil referred to is one of the world's greener souls, the type that mixes with Hayden Panettiere in an effort to save the whales. You would be wrong. Phil is against global warming though, because of the way it kills polar bears. As he carefully explained to us:

more global warming --> less polar bears --> less game on leisurely hunting trips

Clearly, global warming is a disaster. Cut those emissions baby.


*with the exception of two of the most charming ladies of my acquaintance, one of whom grunted at me when I said good morning and subsequently disappeared, and the other of whom also avoided such pleasantries, although thankfully did not grunt. No cupcake for you I thought loudly, and went on my merry way.
