Into the Woods at New York City Center was so electric that we rode the “high” or seeing it through the rest of May and into the month of June. We didn’t return to the Great White Way until July where we celebrated my birthday by seeing what has become one of my all-time favorite productions ever.

This post was originally supposed to be published in September, but thanks to life and theater, that didn’t happen. But I haven’t seen any additional Broadway shows since the last one written about in Part Two, so I guess it still counts!
Ever since Broadway reopened last Fall, I’ve been an active patron.

For the opening night of the play I’ve been working on, I decided to make cupcakes. Naturally, I chose a Magnolia Bakery recipe. This time I chose the Vanilla Cupcakes. A super simple recipe that made tasty desserts.
Since the show I’m working on is Irish-themed, I decided to make the color of the frosting match the Irish flag. I topped the cupcakes with vanilla buttercream that I dyed either green or orange (or left it “white”).
