ALERT: Man Spotted in Cupcake!

So I was driving somewhere the other day and tuning into the radio. The people on the show were talking about a subject dear to my heart...you guessed it, cupcakes!

Sample Man Cupcake

Specifically, they were talking about a man that one of the people on the show had seen on the side of the road dressed as a cupcake! They were talking about how they felt so sorry for this poor guy and anyone else who has to dress in those ridiculous costumes in order to draw business. They were talking about how silly it was that he had to dress up as a cupcake, and I agree...he probably did look a bit ridiculous!

Hearing all this hype made me think, would I want to dress as a cupcake? Lizzie is planning on being a cupcake for Halloween and I think there is a cute way to do it. But I'm not so sure I'd like to be in the shoes of the guy above!

Check out some of these cute ways to pull off a cupcake....see, it can be a good look!

Red Velvet Cupcakes from Kathryn (Part 1)

Hello cupcake lovers!

So I have a story to share about some cupcakes that Sarah and I were given recently. One of our hallmate's had a birthday and her mom made her some red velvet cupcakes. She knows our love of all things cupcake, so she decided to share a couple with Sarah and I. My response to this act of generosity was skepticism because I do not like red velvet cupcakes even though they are one of the most popular cupcake flavors. But to do my duty as a cupcake connoisseur, I tried the red velvet cupcake.

The heavenly chorus burst into song, the earth stopped moving, and I can officially say, "I'm a believer!"

This was seriously one of the BEST CUPCAKES EVER. The icing was perfect, the cake was delicious. There are no words.

So a big thank you to Kathryn and her mom (who graduated from Agnes Scott the same year as Sarah's mom and is also a teacher)!!! I am forever grateful to being shown the light of a good red velvet cupcake. (Sarah liked her's too, but her cupcake revelation wasn't quite as earth shattering as mine.)

Stay tuned for part 2 when I explain what red velvet cupcakes are made of (sugar and spice and everything nice, of course!)

'Til next time,
Lizzie

Our delicate cupcakes, pre-consumption :)

Sarah and her fierce Tiger Tail

       Sarah had the Tiger Tail Cupcake. This treat was composed of a soft citrus-flavored cake frosted with a rich, dark chocolate icing. We had not seen this type of cupcake before, but were eager to indulge in this new flavor. It was quite an experience! The cake was moist and had just the right citrus kick to it. Combined with the delicious dark chocolate icing on top, the whole thing was quite a treat!

Lizzie + Fluffer Nutter!

       Lizzie tried the Fluffer Nutter Cupcake and a Chocolate Vegan Cupcake.The Fluffer Nutter was a vanilla cupcake with peanut butter frosting and, as a surprise, there was a marshmallow in the middle! It was a really good cupcake: the cake was moist and it had plenty of icing! The chocolate vegan cupcake was really good too. I almost liked the vegan icing better than the regular icing. It had cute sea turtle sprinkles on top which only added to the greatness of the cupcake. Carolyn's regular and vegan cupcakes come highly recommend from both of us!
