Dribble, dribble
I see my family sitting to the side
Eyes on me intensely
I never knew this pressure existed
An abundance of excitement
Today is the day
Everyone is depending on me
I must succeed
The clock is in its final seconds
Six, five, four
I feel determined and exuberant
Three, two, one
Oh the anticipation
The timer bellows
Exhilaration and triumph
My cupcakes are ready
