Busy, busy, busy....is it time for cupcakes?

I had a really busy week....busy at work, busy at home...busy.  I was pretty worn out heading into work on Saturday.  I had plans to change the window display because I had received 3 Playmobil display sets.  The windows are always a lot of work because it isn't easy to get into them and it can be really hot in there once the sun hits them in the afternoon.  My trusty sidekick and I got it all done in record time and it looks really great!  :)  As much as I kind of dreaded getting it done, it really turned into something fun once I started b/c I was basically playing with toys, which is fun no matter what!  Either way, fun or not, we definitely deserved a reward for our hard work...CUPCAKE TIME! 
This week's flavor of the day was Snickers, which looked delicious and lived up to its image!  It was a chocolate cupcake with caramel filling.  It had chocolate frosting on top with a dollop of peanut butter frosting in the center and was sprinkled with peanuts and a slice of Snickers bar on top.  Soooo good.  I think this might actually be my favorite of the chocolate variety so far.  The cupcake was nice and moist, too.  I haven't seen this flavor before so it might be a new one. I could definitely feel the sugar pumping through my veins afterward....

School vacation week....yay!

School vacation week combined with the beautiful summer-like weather this week on Cape Cod made for a busy week at the toy store!  I was looking forward to Cupcake Saturday even MORE this week.  I fired up the bubble machine for the kids (always a big hit!) and went in search of my Saturday sugary lunch substitute.  I was feeling like something light, not chocolate.  I have never had the Red Velvet cupcake at Cupcake Charlie's and it comes highly recommended so I gave it a go.  The cream cheese frosting is TO DIE FOR.  I could have eaten a whole jar of that alone.  The cupcake was pretty good, but seemed a little dry.  I think it might have to do with the fact the cupcakes are kept chilled b/c of the frosting?  There was no filling, which is something I always am a fan of.  Still delicious b/c there was such a big dollop of frosting on top that every bite had some.  Yum. 
There have been lots of neat flavors offered during the week, when I can't get away from the store to get one.  Hopefully Cupcake Charlie's will start branching out on Saturdays and offering these fun flavors they offer during the week like Fluffernutter, Pina Colada, Tutti Frutti.  So many to try...how will I find the time?  Until next Saturday....

Spring has Sprung!

This Saturday was the first really beautiful Spring day of the year!  It was so beautiful and warm outside it felt like summer!  I had to fight the urge to replace Cupcake Saturday with Ice Cream cone Saturday...but I stuck to my guns!  :)
Peanut Butter overload.  That is it's name.  It is a chocolate cupcake with rich peanut butter frosting on top-lots of it!  The frosting is the best part, really.  That little bit of Reese's peanut butter cup on top didn't hurt either.  I was a little disappointed that there was no filling in this one because the frosting would have been awesome on the inside as well.  I have had this one before, but I was really craving some peanut butter so it was this week's winning choice.  So gooooood.  Yum.

I am just a girl who sells toys for a living and likes sweet stuff!  I celebrate every Saturday by having a different cupcake from Cupcake Charlie's in Mashpee, MA.  I share my cupcake experiences with my friends and family. Maybe I will end up sharing more than my cupcake celebrations...we will see.  Life sure has alot of sweet stuff to share!
