Sprinkles!

All week I have been craving a Coffee Tofutti Ice Cream cone with sprinkles from Lizzy's.

For the record, where I come from Sprinkles are always multi-colored while Jimmies are chocolate sprinkles.

Anywho, I wasn;t craving cupcakes until I saw this post from Miss Jane. You have until Monday to enter her Give Away of a three Cupcake Kit from Saint Cupcakes, a Portland based bakery which ships Cupcake Kits all over the country.

Yummy! So many flavors of cake! So many flavors of frosting! So many flavors of sprinkles! So much fun to be had when they arrive!

Fill one of their vegan cupcake options with coffee Tofutti and I am a happy, happy girl.

Vegan Cupcake Tour

This is my 100th post. It is only fitting that there be cupcakes to celebrate the milestone.

On Monday my friend and fellow vegan, Tanya, and my husband (not vegan) and I went on a Vegan Cupcake Tour. On the recommendation of Cupcakes Take The Cake we set out to visit Kick *ss Cupcakes in Somerville's Davis Square and Sweet Cupcakes on Mass. Ave. in Boston.

Kick *ss was, well, kick *ss! Incredibly friendly people, interesting flavors, and scrumptious cupcakes for humans and pets alike. They have a new vegan flavor every few months. If I had to find a drawback, it would have to be the seating. There are only three stools at a small counter by the window which worked out fine as the three of us were the only ones there. In the summer this isn't an issue because there are plenty of places to sit outside, but right now it is chilly. Don't let the seating deter you, though. They are happy to makeup amazing, smoosh-free to go boxes and, according to Tanya's husband, the cupcakes taste just as amazing at home.

I took pictures! Yippee for my new camera :-)

Just in the mood for frosting?


Kick *ss Cupcakes ended up being our only successful stop as we arrived at Sweet only to find a note in the window stating that they were closed for the day due to electricity issues. So, we peeked in the window and just stood staring in the window, awed by the gorgeous interior with the amazing pink velvet booth and shiny silver and pink vintage'y' wall paper. It was like going back in time. In time we will go back. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

Things seen, heard, smelled, tasted, discovered today that caused me to think, "Wow, life really is just the bee's knees!":

Listening to the rain hit my window pane and watching it roll down.

Smell of rain on the pavement, creativity flowing within me, walk around the neighborhood, local fresh corn on the cob
