Emergency Cupcakes

I didn’t know they made these and I just found them at Kroger’s. Now of course I am a cupcake connoisseur so I would much rather have a homemade cupcake or one from a great little cupcake bakery, but sometimes you just need a cupcake now! I am keeping these in the refrigerator for that type of emergency. Maybe you have had a particularly hard day and the kids are finally in bed and you just need a cupcake, or it’s late at night and you come across Hope Floats on TV and you are depressed because Harry Connick Jr has not come to sweep you off your feet and away to his pick up truck yet. Sometimes you just need a cupcake! Maybe your kids forgot to tell you they need to take cupcakes to school tomorrow and it is 10 pm. It seems like these emergency cupcakes can come in handy. We will see what makes me break them out. My bet is on a near nervous breakdown caused by a 16 month old. Cupcakes make everything better!

Yum Yum Yum!

I went to one of my new favorite places today, Crave Cupcakes. It is a stylish cupcake shop that opened a few months ago in Houston. I went to get some cupcakes for a gift, but of course I had to get a few for myself. It is a sleek chic little cupcake boutique. These cupcakes are a little different than the ones I usually like. They are not super sweet with tons of frosting. They are simple and plain in appearance, but taste wonderful. Crave uses the highest quality ingredients without preservatives or hydrogenated oils, and they bake them in small batches to insure the quality. If you are in Houston, you should drop by the store in Uptown Park, though it may leave a dent in your wallet at $3.25 a cupcake. If you aren’t in Houston, you can drool over the menu on their website.
