The Giant Cupcake ... best vlog EVER.



::

I read and savoured every comment on my last post three times. It's like, you save me. I'll go back and read them again. You give me faith in human nature ... all of you would have stopped to help that family too. I like to think most people would.

I see you, seeing me. Thanks heaps. HEAPS.

    There are no words to describe how much I love this, Eden. I too needed cheering up - so this afternoon I went to the $2 shop and bought a shitload of stationary that I don't even need. Small things. XOXO

    Thanks for this instructive video. Why can't we look at life outside the "prescribed rules" indeed?! But, oh boy, if I ever followed your example, my blood sugar would shoot through the roof into the stratosphere! I will follow you in the spirit of your lesson and I hope your tummy ache goes away. Cheers, peppermint tea!

    We loved it. Watched it with Miss 4 and we weren't expecting Rocco to turn down your gratious invitation to share your giant rosetted Mummy-spit 'cupcake'. Miss 4 likes anything pink, even with spit on it. She whispered: "I would like some..."

    Enjoy your unbirthday Eden, what a great idea. xxx

    How do you not have your own TV show? LOVED this! Such a simple comcept, and certainly makes for a happy day. My son started to sing happy birthday to me out of the blue today - should have went and bought a mega cupcake to mark the occasion...

    Oh Eden, besides your fucking fantabulism isn't Rocco just so so precious. You can't make kids do what oyu want, but his lines were priceless. The look like "What the fuck are you doing mum?"

    My kids actually watched this with me. Greenie just giggled the whole time, as 2 year olds do.
    Bluey said, and I quote "What is that lady doing mum?" all aghast.
    I said "What do you think?"
    And he said, "Mum, it's a CAKE, not a cupcake. She's going to get a belly ache."

    A ver Merry unbirthday to yooouuuuuuuu!

    I love all your vlogs. Love. Love. Love. Seeing Rocco on the screen made me cry (but it might be the pregnancy hormones).

    I remember as a kid thinking, "When I'm an adult I'll do whatever I want." Now I'm wondering if I'm keeping that promise. You've inspired me to think of something kookie this "adult" can do that would please the "child" in me.

    Rocco looks to be just the same age as my little dude, and equally at thrilled by a half eaten 'cup cake'.

    You are NOT a a loser, you are EDEN!!

    Fuck, I love you.

    It reminds me when I got my first job - the first thing I purchased was a 2L tub of ice cream because I COULD EAT IT ALL MYSELF. I felt like an adult right there, even though I was 14.

    Omg.

    That happened to be my first ever blog post of yours that I have read (I've come over from saw hole's blog). I laughed my absolute @&$& off, you funny lady. You made me belly laugh, like, a real laugh, not a fake one. I now have to spend the entire day reading your entire blog because if that video was a sign of blogs gone by, this is going to be fun!

    I have never EVER openly confessed to this before, but I ADORE those cakes from the old-fashioned bakeries - the sponge, the buttercream icing, the moch-cream filling, the jam. ZOMG how I secretly want to buy one even though it's not my birthday and if I want a sponge then bloody hell just go home and make one - but you've made it totally OK. GO YOU!

    Also - for some reason I only just watched your Ambi vlog. the roller skates made me GUFFAW. GUFFAW I tell you.

    Yesterday I pierced a hole in a tin of condensed milk and drank it straight from the tin. Because I felt sad and because I'm a grown up and I can do whatever the fuck I want & nobody can tell me not to. It made me feel better too...until I felt sick, but even feeling sick was better than how I was feeling prior!

    Do you ever tire of people telling you they love you & what you do? I hope not because...I fucking love you and what you do. Whenever I read your blog, no matter how I'm feeling, you make me feel happier and less alone.

    Fi xx

    We are soul sisters or some shit.

    But you can have ALL of the cake cause I hate that shit.

    Take that stupid cat videos on You Tube. The mega cup cake + Rocco can kick your ass on cuteness and sweetness. Loved it. And I'm only slightly biased as a mega sponge and cream fan. You showed amazing restraint to not halve that sucker and lick the cream off before sharing it with your offspring...or is it just me who does that?
