Fuel, Starbucks, Cupcakes, Oh my!

"Fuel"


Canon EOS 20D | 1/15s | f 4.5 | ISO 800

Speaking of fuel...We were at Starbucks last night, and after we payed, sat down, they told me they were out of the ingredients to make my normal drink (insert sad face). So they gave me a sample of their latest drink, Dark Cherry Mocha. HELLO!!! (insert happy face). It was good. I could totally see myself drinking it iced on a muggy spring afternoon...

Whoa...this morning I got up nice and early for the sole purpose of catching up with my bloggers! And let me tell you I am seriously behind! But, I'm catching up...anyway...

Remember the cupcake shower that my mom through me for my wedding? Well, she's still busy making cupcakes...



Here are the cupcakes mom mad for our "combination party". In our family not only do we celebrate Valentines together, but there are several birthday's in Feb as well...so we had one combined party. Mom made vanilla bean cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting. And yes, that is Charlie brown cookie cut out on top!!! My little brother also made me a Lucy (from Peanuts) cutout cookie that he decorated himself, just for me (awe...so sweet!!!!!). I love cupcakes. I just think they are cute. Plus, the flavor mixtures are simply ENDLESS.


You gotta love her decorations! Especially that cute Eiffel Tower bag...I never get tired of anything French-ish related... ;-) I bet yall would have NEVER guessed that...HA!




Wha'ts your favorite cupcake flavor??

Anna S. said...

First of all, what is your normal Starbucks drink? What do you enjoy the most?

Secondly, my favorite cupcake would probably have to be a dark chocolate mocha cupcake - although I do also really like pumpkin cream cheese cupcakes too.

A cupcake party?! I think you just gave me an idea for my summer birthday party. Can you tell me more?! I don't think a cherry mocha sounds good, but I bet its one of those things that doesn't sound good until you have it. What is your usual drink? xoe
