Cupcake Sundaes at Cake Mamas

Photo

This summer Cake Mamas is bringing back Cupcake Sundaes. I had never heard of these, so of course I was intrigued. A Cupcake Sundae is a warm cake baked in a large cupcake bowl, filled & frosted with two scoops of ice cream, and topped with a cherry & nuts. Yum!

They say it's large enough to feed four....but I think I could eat the whole thing myself. They are available all summer long at the Cake Mamas store in Glendora for $7.50.

So True

I met Jen, aka: pinkcupcakegirl, earlier this year at a running event. She is super cool! She loves to run and eat cupcakes, just like me! Yesterday she posted this quote on instagram. I couldn't have said it better!

Root Beer Cupcakes from Java Cupcake

Was does root beer remind me so much of summer? Maybe it's because I love drinking it at BBQs. And BBQs remind me of summer. Sitting around talking with friends until the sun goes down. Yes, that's summer and I'm so happy today is the first official day of summer!

Here's a recipe from Java Cupcake for Root Beer Cupcakes. These cupcakes are made with root beer syrup (recipe also included on Java Cupcake), and bourbon vanilla cream buttercream. YUM! 

I'm Jealous

Not every wedding is the same. But I wish every wedding had cupcakes from Bake You Happy. My friend Carrie got to eat a few Bake You Happy cupcakes at a wedding last weekend. Lucky duck!

Although I've actually never been to their cupcake shop, I've tasted their cupcakes and cookies several times and they are some of my favorite in the world! Bake You Happy has come a long way since I first reviewed them in 2009. Since then, they have been on Cupcake Wars twice (won it once) and have opened two cupcake shops. Unfortunately, neither is close to me :(
