Fact Friday: An Introduction with a Side of Cupcake
It's possible that when we first started blogging that I should've started with a, "Hello, Internets. It's nice to meet you." I should've told you a little bit about myself rather than running at you with my favorite industry facts. If you'll recall, though – that's not how things happened.
I thought up Fact Friday as way for me to introduce you to me. Here, you'll meet the girl behind the blog and learn things that you wouldn't necessarily know by shaking my hand or talking to me on the phone.
I keep a list of cupcake bakeries in my Blackberry so that, on the off chance I'm visiting a particular city, I will know where the local cupcake store is. My favorites include Magnolia Bakery in New York City and Sugar Mama's Bakeshop in Austin. The cupcake above is from Sugar Mama's.

Perhaps one of these days we can have a New York adventure together (I'd like to order a side of sunshine in advance!)!
Absolutely! I'm afraid you missed out on some very happy things because of all of that nasty rain...
and Sprinkles...you can't forget Sprinkles!
In comparison? They don't make the cut.
I've heard good things about Sugar Mama's, but never seen a picture so amazing that makes me want to drop what I'm doing and go get one. now. oh, except for that whole having to work thing. and the 30 mile round trip. Perhaps a weekend jaunt is in order!
Seriously - they are incredible. We detoured through Austin JUST to go, and they were totally worth it. I particularly liked The Hemingway because it wasn't overly sweet.
Have you tried Hey Cupcake?
I've had a couple Hey Cupcakes.... quite tasty! They've opened one closer to me in north-central Austin that could be a feasible detour next time I head downtown. But if I'm already downtown, why not go a bit farther to Sugar Mama's? Mmmm... cupcakes!
I just learned about Hey Cupcake and want to check it out the next time I'm in town!
If you make it to Sugar Mama's, be sure to let me know what you think!
haha! this is brilliant, I love it. :) always a tasty cupcake waiting for you!
