We stopped at The Cupcakery today to check them out. I’ve heard great things, and I just had to try them.
There are so many kinds, and I wanted to try them all, so we got a dozen to take home. We’re going to ignore the $30/dozen price tag for a minute and talk about how absolutely del.icio.us they are!
Back row left to right:
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup - Rich chocolate cake topped with crunchy peanut butter frosting.
- Tickle Me Pink - Our signature cake: classic white cake with pink vanilla buttercream frosting.
- Boston Dream - Moist yellow cake, Bavarian creme filling with a cap of chocolate ganache.
Front row left to right:
- Chocolate Passion - Rich chocolate cake topped with the ultimate chocolate frosting.
- Strawberry Shortcake - Layers of moist strawberry and vanilla cake topped with a layer of strawberry buttercream and topped off with a dollop of rich heavy cream frosting.
- Pina Colada - Moist yellow cake, pina colada buttercream frosting.
We both ate a Boston Dream in the car before we left the parking lot, and Michael and I shared a Kir Royale (moist raspberry cake drenched in a bubbly champagne frosting).
As hard as it is to imagine spending $30/dozen on cupcakes, that image just melts away in your mouth, and you forget all about the price tag. They are just FANTASTIC!!!

As I was sitting in line to get my lunch today, I looked over at this homeless man walking up to cars and begging for change. He had the typical sign that read “Homeless and Hungry” when in actuality he probably just wants weed and beer.
I mean really! If you were homeless and hungry would you set up shop on the same street corner the In N Out Burger is on? I can’t imagine sitting on the corner in front of In N Out with no money, while my stomach was growling. I can smell those burgers cooking 5 miles away! He just wants crack.
After we bought our mandolin yesterday we decided to walk around the corner and get an early dinner at the Yard House.
I ordered off the “House Specialty” menu and had a Jerk Chicken and Shrimp Stack Enchilada. The roasted chili rellenos in the sauce made it really really tasty. Michael ordered the 10oz. Fillet with Brandy Cream Sauce. The presentation of this dish was just the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Really. That’s a lump of mashed potatoes, with asparagus spokes underneath the steak.
And to top it off, it had the little wooden stick in it that said M. Rare. I don’t know about you, but the only other place I have ever, EVER ordered a steak at that used those sticks is the Sizzler. If you’re going to take that much time to build a stupid ($25.00) food mountain, then for God’s sake PLEASE take out the wood stick!
To add to the madness of having a baby around for the weekend, I also had Courtney here. And most of you know what a handful she is! LOL! We had a great time. We went out to eat one night at The Outback Steakhouse, and took turns playing with Devin.
Saturday night we ate at Buffalo Wild Wings, since it was the only place we could find after 8PM that we could take the baby in. Then we came home and played a fun and wild game of Guitar Hero. Michael fell asleep on the couch quickly since he was “low-carbing” it, and Courtney and I stayed up until 3:30AM Sunday morning. Good times!

The bosses came back from the Cayman Islands bearing gifts of rum cake. Rum cake with so much rum in it, that I would not be able to pass a breathalyzer test right now. OMG, they were del.icio.us !!!!!
(I don’t know why these pictures are so blurry. I think I’ve got some settings messed up on my camera.)
