Trying to make plans.

Today I tried to find some information on a long-since closed art gallery in Maine. I had a name I used to find references of its existence in third-party sources, and a fax number that was attached to another business which spoke of its closing. I tried calling another gallery still in operating in the same town, but didn't get anything. Then I found a street address instead of just a PO Box, and exclaimed, "We can use this to look up property tax records!"

At least, we would have in a movie with a montage scene. In someone's living room, we just laughed and moved on with our business, at least part of which involves major changes of plan on my part. Though since I haven't yet started anything, I have at least 18 more hours before major worry sets in.

The gala I'm baking for is still on. I'm still committed to bringing something on a scale I've never yet attempted. And what they want are single-serving cakes. Not sheet cakes cut up neatly: cupcakes. Frosting optional, single-serving mandatory. My guess is it has something to do with health regulations, neatness, or both. This isn't a huge problem. I can find suitably fancy options without fuss, and when I got the news, immediately thought of one recipe for lemon cakes baked with a honey wheat ale I made a while back that would be excellent with a little powdered sugar glaze.

What I need, besides many pounds of flour and quite a lot of sugar, is a lot of single-use cupcake/muffin tins. Whether they're all individual ones or multi-cup sheets doesn't much matter, as long as I get them by Friday so I can start baking like a madwoman next week. So tomorrow's going to be a deep dive into what the internet has on offer.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking I might just get a couple twelve-cup pans someplace nearby and rotate them through the oven as needed.
