| - After a disappointing lunch today, I needed a little sumpin' sumpin' to get the juices flowing again.
I was on my way back to the office after my lunch meeting and trying think of what I might want and surprisingly, a sweet treat came to mind.
I didn't want to make the 45 mile drive from Lincoln and Scottsdale Rd. to Lulu's on McDowell and Sprinkles...well I said I wanted a "treat", so that leaves Sprinkles right out.
I swung into Hilton Village (really, there is not a "village" there, so that's misleading...there's not even a Hilton there...it's across that little street...why do they try to confuse us?) for a cup cake at the aptly named CupCakes.
Sometimes, you need a little sweet treat to get you back on track and headed back toward that successful life you left behind just before lunch.
Sometimes, all it takes is a cup cake, sometimes it takes more (much, much more...but that's a story for another time).
Today, I decided to get a cup cake from CupCakes before resorting to much stronger medication.
The good news for me (and for the public at large) is that the cup cake from CupCakes worked!
Now we're all safe!
I had a Blondie (vanilla cup cake/vanilla icing)...is there really anything better than the sweet flavor of vanilla? You may call it bland, but I call it "subtle":)
Pretty good cup cake today at CupCakes (this feels like I'm trying to write dessert in the desert twenty times). They were "on their game".
The cake was moist and fresh and the icing was sweet and plentiful. Very tasty!
CupCakes has been hit and miss in the past when I've gone in, but today was a good day.
BTW, is the cup cake trend just about over?
Even those masters of PR over substance at Sprinkles seem empty when I go by...although at $3.50 to $4.00 per cup cake, none of these guys need to sell very many cup cakes to make the rent.
