India Won the World Cup

After 28 years, India won the World Cup and became the World Champions. It was a super exciting World Cup but it was very difficult to watch all the matches as they were aired after 1am PST. Some were during weekdays and it was almost impossible to stay up all night and work during the day without dozing off.

When India reached the finals, I had to show some patriotism in the form of food. So I decided to make Bleed Blue Cupcakes. They were blue in color with blue frosting.

It was super warm outside and I didn't want the frosting to melt, so I took all the frosting to the friends place (Who volunteered to host all the macthes played by India. He was one of the few people who had the Willow TV package as he works at DirecTV. Thanks to Chinmay) and frosted the cupcakes there as everyone watched me frost.

The cupcakes were a big hit. I made 22 cupcakes and all got over within 12 hours.

After the frosting the cupcakes, we started to paint everyones face. Face painting was so much fun and everyone was very excited to get the Indian flag colors on their face and do their part of patriotism.

It was so much fun to watch the matches with some Cricket fans and some sleeping beauties (including me).

And all the efforts were paid off when India won the world cup. It was a nail biting Finals against Sri Lanka who played really well too. And every time India won, we celebrated by going out for brunch and sleeping the whole day.
