hello, all!!!
it seems that my muse has been on vacation… but i am trying to call her back. funny thing about muses, apparently they have a mind of their own- much like cats, and only come when they feel like it. hmmm… here, little muse… (enter the big guys in white uniforms carrying the straight jacket… shannon backs slowly and quietly away)
so i think what i want to talk about is cupcakes. yep, you heard it right. i know- cupcakes are all the rage right now, and as you know i am very fond of them. fond… if fond is synonymous with OH MY GOSH I GOTTA HAVE ONE NOW!!! if the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then a cupcake will get you straight into mine… for that matter any kind of good cake with plenty of icing gets you a one way ticket in.
i have a friend, neighbor, and coworker (all in the same person) named amy who likes to make things. one day, she’s going to have a bakery/ studio/ boutique to showcase the plethora of things she is talented at making, and i hope that day is soon! so on wednesday, amy decided to make her new flavor, chai cupcakes with buttercream icing and candied almonds. since this is my birthday week, i shamelessly offered to be a taste tester, as did every other nurse AND tech (she went to ashley tiller’s house after mine- i know this for a fact) in the bywater/marigny. take a look:
now, i’m not a food critic, but do you see those candied almonds on top? they were so good i ALMOST shed a tear…
so thank you, amy, for spreading some goodwill and cheer to the ‘hood. if every neighbor delivered cupcakes there would be world peace, i’m convinced of it.
