Mirror, mirror on the wall…
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest cupcake of them all!
I stopped by The Chocolate Dessert Cafe again today to pick up some mini cupcakes today for a Christmas party (The Chocolate calls them ‘babycakes’).
Of course, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sample The Chocolate’s newest seasonal flavor: chocolate peppermint!
It was a delicious holiday flavor. It was a great balance of the chocolate and peppermint, paired perfectly. The peppermint was apparent, but not cheap nor strong. It cooled my mouth, yet made my tastebuds beg for more chocolate. I loved it. I dare say I’d take this cupcake over my faved Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark.
I’m telling ya, friend. I hope you’ll have the chance to stop by Utah’s newest cupcake bakery and dessert cafe. You’ll be seeing lots more of my experiences at The Chocolate…so beware because it’s dangerously close to me!

Happy National Cupcake Day & Happy 1 Year Anniversary!
Happy National Cupcake Day!
I hope you all celebrate in some way, shape or form! I for one will be starting my “cupcake goal” list for 2010, buying cupcakes for a gathering and um…continue working on a special cupcake recipe I’ve been designing for the last year.
As I think this blog I have to show you the first Utah cupcake I enjoyed!
I can’t remember for sure, but I believe it was a mini red velvet. But I do know that it is from So Cupcake and it was my birthday cupcake back in 2008.
I’d also like to wish myself a wonderful 1 year anniversary for this blog. My official anniversary date is December 1. And I failed to celebrate it. See my very first post here.
It’s been a wonderful year for me. I’ve met so many friends, ate too many cupcakes, yet not near enough and really developed a greater love for small business, baking, photography, writing and um…cupcakes!
Happy National Cupcake Day!
…Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Utah Loves Cupcakes.
I hope to bring another wonderful year of cupcake goodness to all of you with better posts, potential cupcake meet-ups and just delicious fun!
