And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down....with Orange Dreamsicle!

What a miserable, cold, windy and rainy day Saturday was this week!  Luckily, the rain brought in a lot of customers which made the day go by pretty quickly!  I hardly mind working when it is raining out....can't go to the beach anyway!  With the rain, I decided on a little sunshine to celebrate Cupcake Saturday-Orange Dreamscicle!
This is one of my favorite flavors! It is a vanilla/orange cupcake with orange-y frosting and a piece of candy orange slice on top.  It was super moist and had a ton of frosting on it.  I really enjoyed it.  No filling, but it didn't seem to need any.  It was nice and light.  Loved it. 
I do have to admit, though, it was not my first choice.  Cupcake Charlie's posts their Flavor of the Day on their facebook page daily.  On Saturday they posted Boston Creme Pie (which is the Flavor of the Day too often, in my opinion) and Mounds as the flavors.  I love coconut and was excited to try to the Mounds cupcake.  I sent my sidekick off to pick up the cupcakes and she returned to tell me that there were no Mounds cupcakes b/c she was told they "hadn't made them yet".  This was at 3 in the afternoon.  Hmmm.   This is the second time it has happened at Cupcake Charlie's in the past month. I don't care so much b/c I just walk across the aisle to get them, but I can imagine the customer service issue they would have if one of our "not-so-local" customers made the drive and didn't get what they drove down for...ugh.  I just know what I have to deal with sometimes from customers(who clearly have miserable lives outside of the 5 minutes I spend with them) and I hope they don't have to deal with too much of that!  Cupcakes should be about happiness, right?   :) I was just as happy with my Dreamscicle...but I will look forward to the Mounds cupcake in my future! 
Until next week....
