I really liked this Jelly Doughnut Cupcake! It reminded us of something from my childhood and I can’t quite put our finger on it… :) Loved the accent of powdered sugar and of course that it was filled!

Pretty Cupcakes from Mrs. Backer’s Pastry Shop

These lovelies are mini cupcakes from Mrs. Backer’s Pastry Shop in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Backer’s has been around since 1941. I think they have some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen on cupcakes. The owner said they even developed their own icing tips to get the perfect results!

Favorite Cupcake Flavor {so far} from The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe in Provo!

The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe has almost been open for a week now here in Provo. I’ve got loads and loads of pictures and things to say about this new hip hang out.

But until then I’ll say this. If you go get the following:

This freaking-awesome-nutella-smacking-raspberry-jam-topped-with-the-tang-of-cream-cheese cupcake!

Or more commonly known as the Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake cupcake!

It’s a jumbo size, priced at $2.75. Be prepared to share and grab a fork. It’s good.

Why I like it:
* Chocolate cake is good and moist, reminds me of a good texas sheet cake in cupcake form
* I am a sucker for anything Nutella
* I love raspberry jam (especially after a summer of helping grow and pick raspberries)
* the cream cheese offers the perfect balance to the above flavors
* and there is a fresh raspberry on top! (win-win)

oh…and if you can handle any more chocolate richness. Get the faux frappe called LOVE POTION! It’s like a chocolate covered strawberry in beverage form!

More coming about The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe. (Check out their blog site for more pix!)
