PLC’s Cupcake of the Week: “There’s No Business like Snow Business.” The girls gathered at Sadie’s house to bake, decorate, and box the orders so her brothers could deliver them.
    â€œI am totally going to fail my math quiz Friday,” Sadie sighed. “With all of this baking, how will I study?”
    â€œWe’ll bake and study,” Kylie insisted.
    Jenna held up her hands, which were covered in flour and buttercream. “Um, I wouldn’t bring any math textbooks in this kitchen at the moment. It’s a mess!”
    â€œYou see?” Sadie said. “It’s hopeless.”
    â€œRelax and focus on cupcake math,” Kylie insisted.
    Lexi giggled. “Now that would be a cool subject in school! Do you get to frost as you do your fractions?”
    Kylie continued: “Sadie, we have a total of 216 cupcakes to bake and have four dozen already in the oven. How many do we have left to bake?”
    Sadie thought hard and tried to picture the equation in her head. “Well, 4 times 12 equals 48,” she began. “So 216 minus 48 would be 168.”
    Kylie applauded. “And how many dozen is that? Write an equation and solve!”
    Sadie closed her eyes and saw cupcakes lined up on a countertop. She pictured them in groups of 12. The equation would be: 168 divided by 12 equals x . So x would be 14.
    â€œWe have 14 dozen left to go!” Sadie answered.
    â€œ Muy bueno !” Jenna cheered. “You are so going to pass that quiz Friday!”
    A few flakes started falling outside the window just as the girls were putting the cupcakes in the oven. But by the time the last dozen were piped with white chocolate frosting and dipped in shredded coconut, the winds were whipping up and the ground was covered by a white blanket of snow.
    â€œI thought they didn’t say snow ’til Thursday night,” Lexi said, peering outside.
    â€œThat’s weathermen for you,” Mrs. Harris sighed. “I guess they were off by a day.” She looked concerned. “Now your father is going to have to stop working on the Saperstones’ garage door. It’s getting bad out there quickly.”
    Kylie peered out the window. “I don’t think I can bike home in this…”
    Mrs. Harris nodded. “I think you should all call your parents and tell them you’ll be sleeping over here tonight. We’ll see how bad it is in the morning.”
    Kylie, Jenna, and Lexi cheered: “Slumber party!”
    â€œBetter not let my brothers hear that…” Sadie warned. She knew Corey and Tyler would be up to all sorts of tricks if they heard her friends were staying over.
    But it was too late. “I smell something good…Hand it over!” Corey demanded. He bounded into the kitchen, tracking snow across the floor, and dropped his dripping wet jacket over the back of a chair.
    â€œSay please ,” Mrs. Harris corrected him.
    â€œOkay… please hand it over,” Corey joked.
    Jenna offered him a cupcake, and he inhaled it in two bites. “Would you like to know what you just ate?” she asked.
    â€œNope. Just give me another one…” He licked his lips. “Or I will torture you guys all night with practical jokes. Did I ever tell you about the itching powder I put in Sadie’s sleeping bag when she was eight?”
    The girls looked at Sadie for confirmation. “Give him another cupcake,” she said. “I itched for days.”
    â€œI hope the snow doesn’t shut down all the roads,” Kylie suddenly thought. “How will we get all these cupcakes delivered?”
    â€œDogsled?” Corey teased, helping himself to a third cupcake. “Mush! Mush!”
    â€œNah…reindeer are better,” called a voice from the living room. “On Donner, on Blitzen…” Sadie’s brother Tyler appeared in the kitchen, covered in snow. “It’s really coming down out
