This Cupcake Family is Home

I made it to Magnolia!

What a week! I had an awesome time exploring New York City and tasting their cupcakes. And let me tell you that I saw cupcakes everywhere! I didn't want to come home, especially since I have a mound of paperwork waiting for me at my office. But life goes on.

Thank you for all of the congratulations! My husband and I are thrilled and enjoyed discussing possible baby names on our trip. We will soon find out the gender and then the serious discussions will begin.

I got to visit quite a few cupcake shops, as well as tasted some other yummy desserts. I can't wait to share my adventures with you shortly.

(By the way: please excuse my ugly shoes. After a whole week of walking all day, my feet needed some comfort.)

Cupcake In the Oven

I made it no New York!! Even though I've only been here less than a day, I LOVE it! I am going to be busy the next couple of days trying out LOTS of cupcakes.

My posts may be a little scarce while I'm here, but to keep you occupied, let me share a little secret I've been keeping for the past 15 weeks....

....a mini cupcake will soon be joining my husband and I. We are so excited and can't wait for the next 25 weeks to fly by.

Special Father's Day Cupcake Offered at Sugar Blossom Bake Shop

A year ago I announced the opening of another cupcakery in South Orange County. Sugar Blossom Bake Shop is located in downtown San Clemente, CA and sells cupcakes, along with cookies and cinnamon rolls (Sunday only).

In honor of the upcoming Father's Day, Sugar Blossom is offering a Chocolate Guinness Stout Cupcake from June 10-19. This cupcake is an ultra-moist, stout-infused chocolate cupcake topped with torched Guinness meringue. Sounds like a cupcake any dad would love! The cupcake will be selling for $3.

Can't Wait to Eat My Way Through NYC

Seriously, you guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestions. I am so super excited to be going to New York in 3 days!! Sorry for the lack of cupcake posts this past week, but I've been busy planning, packing, and shopping. I've been so busy that I haven't even looked up the weather yet. But I promise that my lack of cupcake posts will be made up for with the large amount of cupcake detective work I'll be doing in New York City.




Surprisingly, even though I've never been to New York, I've tried cupcakes from five New York cupcakeries. My question is: do I try them again? A few were awesome, but some were not so great. Do I give them a second chance? Do I just stick to cupcakeries I've never been to?

You guessed it. I'm going to New York City! Can you believe this is my first time visiting NYC? I know, crazy.

So I need your help. I will be in NYC for six days and of course there are a ton of things I want to do and see. Help me organize my chaos! Where are the best places to eat? What touristy places must I visit? And most importantly....WHAT CUPCAKE SHOPS DO I NEED TO VISIT?! Suggestions please. Go.
