National Cupcake Day

Happy National Cupcake Day!! Do you know what this means? It means that you need to head to your favorite local cupcakery and celebrate! 

Marble Slab Creamery is ready to celebrate. They will be giving customers one free ice cream cupcake today between 4 and 7pm.

I was so happy that my Holiday Assortment cupcake order from Georgetown Cupcake showed up last night. The timing was perfect and the cupcakes are delicious. (Yes, I started celebrating early. The Rudolph Red Velvet was so yummy.)

Have a happy and delicious day!

Starbucks Holiday Petite Treats

Two new holiday petite treats are now available at Starbucks. They aren't cupcakes, but they both include frosting and cake. They have a Chocolate Creme' Whoopie Pie which is two small chocolate cakes with buttercream frosting in between. They also have Peppermint Chocolate Brownie Cake Pop which is chocolate cake mixed with buttercream frosting and candy cane pieces and then dipped in white chocolate and rolled in more candy cane pieces. I had the Peppermint Chocolate Brownie Cake Pop today and it was festive deliciousness on a stick. It was so yummy.

Fun news! You can buy a DIY kit to make Starbucks Peppermint Chocolate Brownie Cake Pops at home. Click here for more information.

Guys Love Cupcakes Too

Cupcakes are a perfect treat to give Dad on Father's Day. A lot of cupcakeries are offering some sort of "manly" promotion to celebrate this special occasion. For example, here is what a couple of my local cupcake shops are doing to celebrate:

Dippidee - They are selling tool and tie shaped sugar cookies as well as four father-themed cupcake flavors (bacon perhaps?).

The Sweet Tooth Fairy - Bring Dad in for a FREE cupcake of his choice on Saturday.

So grab some cupcakes for Dad and enjoy them with him. He will thank you!

Congratulate Your Grad With Cupcakes

Cupcakes are the perfect way to say congratulations to that special person in your life that is graduating. For an added touch you can have them frosted in their school colors or if you live close to a Sprinkles Cupcakes you can order graduation cupcakes adorned with graduation caps (pictured below). 

Along with the cupcakes you can give them a copy of Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss (my personal favorite gift to give at graduations).

Congratulations!

Today is your day.

You're off to Great Places!

You're off and away!
