Apparently Jay was on the same page as I was because this past Sunday he suggested we make a stop there while running errands. An hour later I returned home with a couple boxes of goodies:
What is it about cupcakes? Just looking at them all lined up in their pretty little boxes waiting to be eaten really makes me smile. And then when you put them on a plate, it's just instant good mood.
As much as I love to bake, it's nice when someone else does all the work and I can just sit back and enjoy the view.
A few thoughts on the product:

I almost hate to say this, but these are even better than homemade. Other people's baked goods tend not to impress me (I'm snooty that way) but I was impressed.
*If by chance you happen to be here locally, check out the 'day-old' section. A box of cupcakes for $5? Yes, please!
*If by chance you aren't local, they deliver. Just sayin'.

Mmmmmm..............
i love cakes, cupcakes or otherwise. I miss them terribly.
peggy: i agree. and sadly, ive yet to find a perfect gluten free version.
I would eat that whole box right frickin' now. In one bite. Maybe the box, too...
Also ahhahahahahahaa--my wv is "omens."
I can't believe those cupcakes, they are so pretty! I was a cupcake skeptic until recently, didn't get it...now I do.
PS I am excited I won the book. I will have to let you know if I chare your opinion!
yeah, cupcakes are good. I love cake, so little versions of cake put me in a good mood as well. When I was preg. I discovered these little "two bite" cupcakes. Love them. Really really love them. To the point where I couldn't have them in the house. I call them "two cupcakes in one mouth at the same time" cupcakes. Or, Crack-cakes :-)
Last week I had the absolute best cupcake I've ever had in my life, and it was super-pretty...and you'll never believe where it came from.
Sam's Club!! I was shocked.
I recently heard or read someone say "i love cupcakes even though they are trendy right now".
How can little cakes be "trendy"? And if they are... consider me trendy since 1984.
Yum! I'm going to be baking up like 30 of those bad-boys for Calvin's b-day! Wish i could just grab a few boxes of those. It would things so much easier. Also??? I LOVE your new header!!
I'm not a huge cupcake fan...but I love the look of them. They are so storybook-pretty.
Those look like treasures in a box. Which, I guess they are.
Oh, those look terrific! We have a traveling cupcake van in DC...I get so excited when it's near me. My recent favorite is raspberry lemonade...wish I had one now.
They are little works of art. My downfall has always been the icing. My creations always look like the work of a 5-year old. This is something I've never mastered. I try to disguise the mess with a lot of sprinkles.
PS. I started "Good Grief" last night. So far, so good. Thanks for the suggestion.
So pretty! I don't actually love eating cupcakes (not a big frosting fan) but I love the way they look!
did one of your children make your new header?
makes me seriously miss the amazing cake shop in philly, brown betty's, they have the best chocolate cupcake ever...that's a tall order, but it's true.
$5?
for a whole box?
awesome!
