The beauty of a holiday weekend preceding a birthday is the opportunity to use that time your best advantage. Such is the case this weekend. Memorial Day weekend!
So celebrate I ordered cupcakes from my favorite cupcake-baking neighbor, Melissa! She has a great system that she'll post what flavors have been ordered for the week or weekend and let us tag on with a cupcake or two! I usually wait for the best flavors and then place an order. At that point I'll find an occasion to be celebrating.
I love that Melissa also takes prayer requests for her cupcakes as well. She considers her baking a spiritual practice and allows us to influence what she prays about during the baking.
The flavors above include both Bill and Ellie's favorites - which makes it so much nicer to share!
Strawberry Sensation - strawberry cake with strawberry frosting - Bill's favorite
Brilliant Butterfingers - butterfingers in the batter cupcake with toffee and butterfingers buttercream
Tuxedo - (black and white), Dark chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting - Ellie's favorite
We enjoyed them a 1/4 cupcake at a time ... never a whole cupcake .. but slices like a cake!
Delicious!!
