烘焙少年的迪士尼梦
A 14-year-old just baked his family's way to an unforgettable Disney trip by way of 4,000 cupcakes.
一名14岁的小男孩烤了4000个纸杯蛋糕,然后带着全家踏上了难忘的迪斯尼之旅。
Isaiah Tuckett, a soon-to-be 9th grader from Madison, Minnesota, selflessly used his baking business, "Isaiah's Tasty Treats," to sell $5,000 in cupcakes to cover the cost of the vacation for himself and his loved ones.
即将上九年级的以赛亚·塔克特来自明尼苏达州麦迪逊,他无私地利用自己的烘焙生意“以赛亚美食”,卖出了5000美元的纸杯蛋糕,为自己和家人支付了度假的费用。
Isaiah's mom, Cheri Tuckett, said it took her son about a year to reach his goal.
以赛亚的母亲切莉·塔克特说,她的儿子花了大约一年的时间才实现了这个目标。
"It's very sweet," Tuckett told us.
“这孩子太贴心了,”塔克特告诉我们。
"You think about the generosity of him being able to do that and the time he put in. It's not just the dollars he's put towards it. It's the time he put into the cupcakes. It's pretty amazing."
“想想他此举的慷慨和他投入的时间。他不仅仅是花了钱。他在这些杯子蛋糕上投入了那么多时间。真是令人惊讶。”
Isaiah has loved being in the kitchen since he was 7 years old.
以赛亚从7岁起就喜欢上了厨房。
And since his local bakery closed its doors, business has been booming for the talented teen who makes layered cakes, pies, rhubarb jam, banana bread and, of course, his signature cupcakes.
自从他当地的面包店关门后,这位天才少年的生意就红火起来,他制作分层蛋糕、馅饼、大黄果酱、香蕉面包,当然还有他的招牌纸杯蛋糕。
"He has fun trying new recipes too -- if someone has a specific candy bar they like, he will try to incorporate that," Tuckett said.
塔克特说:“他也乐于尝试新食谱——如果有人喜欢某一种特定的棒棒糖,他就会尝试把它融入其中。”
Like many kids, Isaiah has always had dreams of visiting Disney World.
像许多孩子一样,以赛亚一直梦想着去迪斯尼乐园。
Tuckett admits that as parents of three, it wasn't easy for her and her husband to get the trip on the calendar.
塔克特承认,作为三个孩子的父母,她和她的丈夫很难把这次旅行列入日程。
"It never seemed to work out either with money or timing," she said.
她说:“无论是钱的问题还是时间的问题,似乎都没有办法解决。”
One day, Isaiah offered to treat the family to the "most magical place on earth."
一天,以赛亚提出要带全家去“世界上最神奇的地方”。
He worked hard baking cupcakes for birthday parties, graduations, weddings, prom and baby showers.
他开始努力为生日派对、毕业典礼、婚礼、舞会和婴儿派对烘焙纸杯蛋糕。
Isaiah was able to bring his mom, dad, brother, sister, sister-in-law and 1-year-old nephew to Disney in celebration of his 14th birthday in late November.
去年11月下旬,艾赛亚带着他的妈妈、爸爸、哥哥、姐姐、嫂子和一岁的侄子来到迪士尼乐园,庆祝他14岁的生日。
"It was such a great memory," Tuckett said of her son's gift.
“这真是一个很棒的回忆,”塔克特谈到她儿子的礼物时说。
"Something we'll never forget for sure."
“我们肯定永远不会忘记。”
Now, Isaiah is determined to raise money for his dream car: a royal blue Ford pickup truck to drive when he gets his license at 16.
现在,艾赛亚决心为他梦想中的汽车筹集资金:他想在16岁拿到驾照后,开一辆皇家蓝色福特皮卡。
