Sugar Mama's Bakeshop opened just a few days ago here. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love cupcakes. I mean, I love cupcakes. So of course I wanted to try some as soon as I could! Well, that opportunity presented itself long before I thought it would, in the form of a friend's co-worker stopping by on her lunch break and picking up some sweet and delicious treats! I requested (in this order): The Odd Couple (chocolate cake with salted caramel cream cheese frosting), Frida (Mexican chocolate cake with whipped chocolate ganache and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar) or Marilyn Monroe (vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream). As luck would have it, my first choice was available so I feasted my eyes (and my tastebuds!) on the rich, decadent salted caramel cream cheese frosting and moist, delicious chocolate cake beneath. It was good. Really good. (Really sweet too...maybe a little too sweet.) In addition to being incredibly tasty, they're a pleasure to look at! I am a sucker for beautiful food. I even went so far as to carry my little box of cupcake around with me in not one, but two, stores so the little guy wouldn't melt in the hot car. It was worth it. I can't wait to go in person so I can gaze upon all the lovely cupcakes in the shop!
I must make cupcakes now! That one in the picture looks so yummy. I am not as big of a fan of cupcakes as you are, but I could certainly get that way if there was a bakery like that near me. Happy cupcakes!!
