National Cupcake Day!

While engaging in some delightful banter with my dear friends Shaina and Lucy yesterday via Twitter, I learned that yesterday was National Cupcake Day! So what did I have to do then? Well, go out and get cupcakes of course.

I hit up A Cookie and a Cupcake which I had just recently heard about through a friend in the Junior League. I came home with three little beauties! Yes, judge all you want. But I did get one of those for Matt.

Here's my peanut butter cupcake. You almost didn't get to see this as I remembered to take a picture just before I stuffed it into my mouth in the car right outside the shop. Hey, I do live like 20 minutes away. You expect me to wait that long before I eat one of these things? I think not. As an aside, please pay no attention to the fact that my mirror is missing off the side of my car. That's a story for another day.




You'd expect with a combination as wonderful as peanut butter and chocolate that this would be a home run. Well, it was a little disappointing. The peanut butter taste was very faint and the icing just wasn't sweet enough for me. They did squirt icing into the center of the cupcake though, so they earned serious bonus points for that little endeavor.

Here's a look at the other two I snagged....German Chocolate and their Signature Chocolate.


The German Chocolate was notably better than the peanut butter but they skimped on the icing. Matt enjoyed his cupcake very much but I'd say $2.50 is a little steep for just okay cupcakes. I'm on the hunt for a better pick!



And diet starts........













NOW!

Do I say this every damn day or what?


*FYI* Upon searching for a source that it was in fact National Cupcake Day yesterday...I found much confusion on the subject. I found several sources confirming yesterday's holiday...but according to this blog, the August holiday is celebrated in Australia while the actual National Cupcake Day isn't until December 15th. Who knows?? Guess I'll have to do this all over again in December. Too bad...
