The Continuing Adventures of Rodney Robot: Escape from Planet Sprinkle-  

Rodney was a big fan of afternoon walks in the palace gardens. 

The palace bakery set out fresh cupcakes every day at noontime, so the scent of fresh cupcakes filled the air.



Rodney started to get a little tired, so he thought he'd test one of the lime iced cupcakes to see if he could sit down on it..


Still a little soft..


Oh but this one.. This one was perfect. Rodney didnt know whether to sit on it or eat it, it looked so good.


Before he could snatch up the cupcake- Rodney noticed something move. Something far off in the distance. What was that?


It was Colossus, Guardian of the cupcakes.


Colossus hated it when other robots tried to take HIS cupcakes. Rodney picked the wrong one. Colossus wanted the same cupcake as Rodney.


Rodney didnt know what to do. He'd never seen such a monstrous robot as Colossus. He was frightened. Too frightened to move even.


Before Rodney could react, Colossus picked up the cupcake and held it high above where Rodney could reach.


"Oh No" thought Rodney. "What do I do now? I really wanted that cupcake."
He didnt know whether or not to run off or stay and fight for his cupcake...


Sooner than later, Rodney made his decision. He would stay and do what he had to do to get back his cupcake. He saw it first!


He climbed mighty Colossus' arm. Dangling high above the soft comforting ground, where all the other cupcakes sat, Rodney held on tight and tried as hard as he could to reach the cupcake.


But Colossus was strong. He shook Rodney off his arm.


After falling, Rodney had no choice but to regroup. Something must be done about this cupcake thief. Someone must do something!


...But alas, Colossus was just TOO big. Rodney couldnt do anything from where he stood..


Or could he? Rodney pondered his next move.


Aha!  I'll bribe him with another cupcake. A more DELICIOUS cupcake. A lime cupcake with Strawberry icing! That'll get him.


So Rodney got to pushing...


..And he pushed some more...



Finally he managed to get the cupcake infront of Colossus, where he could see it.


"whats this?" Said Colossus aloud, setting down the cupcake that once had perched high above Rodney's clutches.




"Is this... a gift?" asked Colossus- "For me?"


The kind gesture melted Colossus' cold heart. If Robots could cry, a small robotic tear would have fallen from his little metallic eyes.


And indeed, it was a tasty cupcake.


The last thing on Colossus' mind was that other cupcake. No, he had this cupcake in mind. He gorged himself upon the cupcake.


He offered some to Rodney...


But Rodney said "if you dont mind, Colossus, I'll just take this one."


And so off he went, with his delicious cupcake in his clutches.


Rodney did not look back, he did not want to see Colossus change his mind. No, this cupcake belonged to him. To Rodney.


As soon as he was out of the woods, with his back turned towards the palace gardens, Rodney looked down upon his prize. Yes, this cupcake was his prize, for he had won it fair and square.


Grasping handfuls of the flavourful icing, Rodney inhaled the crisp aroma of fresh cupcakes. Fresh lime icing.. Delicious sweet cupcakes fresh from the palace bakery, only enhanced by the hard work it took to free the cupcake from the clutches of the giant robot Colossus...


As he went in for a bite, he had no thought of anything other than the heaven he held in his hands..



He thought nothing of the king... the true owner of the cupcake...



Oh no Rodney.. DONT EAT THAT CUPCAKE!  LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Seriously, I am not sure that I can express how much joy I get from Rodney Robot and his wild adventures on Planet Sprinkle. He's so cute!

And the photos and story are, let's face it, totally freaking awesome.

Just amazing. :)

Can I use the first pic in a post in my journal to link to your entry?
[info]littlebluedog on February 15th, 2007 04:56 pm (UTC)
Or maybe two? (I won't spoil anything.)

Has Rodney had other adventures?
Adventures in culinary creativity.[info]a_muffin_story on February 15th, 2007 05:44 pm (UTC)
hehee.. Feel free!

Rodney has one previous adventure available here-

I'm pretty much keeping him at one adventure a month. Gotta keep my readers on their toes. *smile*

Adventures in culinary creativity.[info]a_muffin_story on February 15th, 2007 08:40 pm (UTC)
hehe.. Thank you. I'm glad you like it!

Yeah, I like doing little photo shoots and writing up little kiddish stories to go along with them. I'm not as happy with this one as I'd like to be, but oh well.

I'll do better next time! haha..

Way too cute! Also, thanks for the Valentine, I got it today, and it totally just made my day.
Jess: Cupcakes[info]luness on February 17th, 2007 02:49 am (UTC)
Awww, what a delightful story! I loved it!

P.S. How on earth do you get your sprinkles to stay put like that! Mine always fall off. Jason and I made cupcakes together as part of our Valentine's Day festivities, and we used a buttercream frosting recipe from your blog. It turned out great! I'd like to find a fluffier one for future cupcakes though.
Adventures in culinary creativity.[info]a_muffin_story on February 17th, 2007 03:44 am (UTC)
I put my sprinkles on right away. If I want a thick even coat of them, I dip my cupcake right into a shallow bowl full of sprinkles (be careful if you do this, while pouring the sprinkles into a bowl, do it slowly, they tend to bounce!)

I wish I could find a truely FLUFFY icing. I've never been able to make really fluffy fluffy icing. I probably could if I tried a recipe. haha.. My mom is really good at making fluffy icing, I should ask her. I'll post any recipes I try out on my quest. *smile*

Also, I hope you guys had fun cupcakeing! That sounds like a great valentines activity!
Jess: Cake - Anniversary/Birthday[info]luness on February 18th, 2007 05:45 am (UTC)
Ohhh, the dipping method sounds much easier. I was trying to sprinkle them on and they kept rolling right off!

Thank you! We had a great time. Baking together is one of life's greatest moments. If you do end up finding that super fluffy, silky frosting recipe, I'll be forever indebted to you!

This has made my day- I'm hooked! Gorgeous cupcakes, and a truly wonderful tale.

This post is so awesome! Thanks for sharing. Your blog is incredible, and I shall be back daily to read it. Slashfood is going to give you a bunch of traffic today. :)
Adventures in culinary creativity.[info]a_muffin_story on February 28th, 2007 11:26 pm (UTC)
Hehe.. thank you! I'm just recovering from the flu, so for about a week I havent posted anything, and this week I'm getting back into the swing of things. Starting next week I should be back up at a post a day, so.. Keep comin back! hehe..

Holy crap! I had no idea I was on slashfood! Thank you for letting me know! *smile*
[info]salwa_j on February 28th, 2007 10:18 pm (UTC)
Oh, Rodney
Hi, I'm new to reading your blog but I too am smitten by Rodney. Have you considered putting one of the photos of his adventures on a t-shirt at cafe press or something of the like? I would buy it, just sayin...

Also, I thought in a previous Rodney story he is sad in the end because robots can't eat cupcakes. Not that it matters, I love the smudgy frosting on his hands.
Adventures in culinary creativity.[info]a_muffin_story on February 28th, 2007 11:25 pm (UTC)
Re: Oh, Rodney
Hehe.. yeah, I did say in another rodney story that robots dont eat cupcakes.. but I figured I'd at least let him eat some icing in this one! hehe.. Honestly, I didnt know how to end it. I had taken these photos about a week before I actually made the story up, so a lot of what I meant to write about was lost in that time. I'm glad everyone likes it, but the next one will be much better. And yes, there will be another rodney story! hehe..

I'm actually trying to do a cafepress shop right now! I'll be sure to post about it as soon as I'm finished with it!
