We had an opportunity to enjoy (key word!) a visit to the newest location of a cupcake place called Sugarland. It is close enough to visit but not so close as to be a constant temptation.
I could not resist taking some photos while I was there. Luckily, I had my camera in my purse. Not something I have been carrying lately but that may change due to the fact you never know when a lovely cupcake might present itself.
The cupcakes and other delicacies were so very colorful. In fact, they were nearly inspirational.
Now while I do believe presentation has a lot to do with how successful something might be, you really can’t sustain a cupcake business on appearance alone.
I have been to one or two that are more hype than substance to tell you the truth and it can be a letdown especially if you have been ‘good’ all week so you can enjoy a fabulous dessert.
It must have taken me at least 5 or more minutes to decide which one to try. I picked something called Black Velvet. See below. ↓
It was good but I think my husband’s was better – Butterfinger! Next time if they still have the Chocolate Covered Strawberry, that might be my choice.
Or perhaps the Peanut Butter Blast . . .
or the Chocolate Caramel. Gee, maybe if I can make up my mind now, like have list of first and second choices, it won’t take me as long to decide and I can get right to the savoring part of the visit. Okay, it’s time for me to stop drooling and get back to sewing.
Oooh Wow...!! This eye candy sure looks tasty!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kay Joy,
DeleteIt certainly was/is/will be - whatever! I'm sure we'll be going back. Too many flavors left untried.

Hi Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteDid you get a taste or was it a trip Mom did on her own. I loved the look of the strawberry chocolate tart. Hmmmm!!! I think it is snack time.

Hi Sebastian, you didn't go with them?
Hi Prudence,
DeleteHm-m-m. My granddaddy used to say he had a sweet tooth. I always wanted to know which one it was! Maybe I inherited it???

Hi Jack,

ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
DeleteOh dear! Didn't mean to start a craving! I don't think you can make a bad choice there. Come on over and we'll go have a cupcake - on me!

OMG. I need to go to this place. Sugar is a food group for me!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
DeleteYou're probably right if you classify sugar as a food group! It's delightful there and the cakes always seem to be fresh!
