in which i go to cupcake paradise [and come back again]

So, just in case you didn't know, I love cupcakes.

And, I mean, l.o.v.e. them. They definitely win the cutest dessert award, in my opinion. And the yummiest. Gack.

Anyways, we went to the Capitol today for a homeschool Future Statesmen program. It was...okay.
Yeah.

The best part came afterwards.


So I was riding along, la dee dah, going down a normal little street with nothing too terribly exciting on it. Yippee.


Then BAM.
We saw it.
The cutest little cupcake/coffee hangout you will ever see it.
It was so so so perfect.
The decor was vintagey and simple and colorful.
The menu was descriptive and super delicious looking.
The workers were wearing ADORABLE aprons. (Except for the guy. He was too cool for an apron.)
And the cupcakes.


well, they were divine.


Matched with an exceeeellent chai latte?
HAPPY KALEY.


They had the awesomest names. This was the Bangarang (chocolate with mocha icing).


Lemony Snicket (lemon with lemon buttercream)


Boom Boom Pow (vanilla bean with chocolate buttercream, sea salt, and caramel).


And sassafrass (red velvet with buttercream icing)


One of the many advantages to having a large family is when you go to a cupcake bakery, everybody gets a different one. And everybody shares.
Pretty good deal, right?


Cute, people, cute.


What a great buncha guys! <3

So there you have it. My brief venture into cupcake heaven. And boy, was it heavenly.

GAH. That is so cute! Just yesterday I was mourning over the fact that despite my inordinate obsession with cupcakes, I have never been to a cupcake shop. This looks like one that I should go to! :)

This blog is awesome! Following you *now*. I have a healthy love for cuppies. :) Not an obsession... but I do have a friend who is The Cupcake Queen! I'm sending her a link to this post. :D

HOORAY! I'm the afore mentioned cupcake queen, and YOU are my new favorite blog. I may have to do a post on this awesomeness today. Reading this made me grin, even as I'm working on my math! (A truly hard feat indeed- math and I are sworn enemies.)
