Blue Cattle Truck Mexican Vanilla

I don’t have much to say about this amazing vanilla besides these bullets:

*The name of it Blue Cattle Truck Mexican Vanilla

* Made in Springville, Utah {woot woot} I love local ingredients!

* It was on Martha Stewart!

* It is amazing!

* I wished I would have bought the 16 oz. bottle

New Cupcake Aprons from Flirty Aprons

Flirty Aprons added a new cupcake apron to their line–this one is called “Frosted Cupcake!” How cute, right? It will be replacing the Bite Sized cupcake apron (blogged here). It comes in a regular flirty apron size and a mini flirty apron size for little girls!

Hopefully we’ll see their cute, and original frosted cupcake design make it to the waist apron line! By the way, it looks like they are doing free shipping on all their orders right now…check out the Flirty Apron site.

Dippidee’s Little Devil

THE LITTLE DEVIL

I’m pretty sure this is the most popular cupcake sold at American Fork’s Dippidee.

I’ve had it…and it is good.

It’s a chocolate cake  with a sweet creamy filling and topped off a generous swirl of Dippidee’s famous chocolate buttercream frosting.

Brown Sugar Cupcakes by Cafe Johnsonia

picture-102picture-83picture-92

A few years ago, Lindsey, of the blog Cafe Johnsonia, ran out of white sugar when she was making cupcakes for her son’s first birthday…so she made some changes to an already great recipe and came up with this one! She says it’s a keeper and by the looks of these cupcakes and the recipe, I think I’m about to try it! By the way, If you live in Utah and don’ know about Cafe Johnsonia’s food blog…well then, I don’t know what to tell you. You must know about it and you must follow it.

Huckleberry Bliss

I’d like to try these huckleberry bliss cupcakes by Layton’s CutsieCakes! They’re described as a moist chocolate cake infused with huckleberry syrup then topped with a fresh huckleberry glaze .  At the moment, Cutsie Cakes is an out-of-home custom cupcake business but they should be opening their doors (in Layton) come late summer!

RED HOT: Vegas Baby Cupcake!

This is currently my favorite cupcake at Les Madeleines. It’s their Vegas Baby  -  a classic vanilla cupcake with red hots in the middle. The frosting is a cream cheese ( I believe) with real white chocolate sprinkles. Isn’t it such a festive Valentine’s cupcake?
