Cupcakes. It Seems...


...that, between yesterday and today, I simply cannot stop eating cupcakes. Cupcake after cupcake after cupcake. I can most certainly eat a few more...and will likely do so tomorrow.

Ever get one of those cravings? Those cravings that only intensify every time you try to satisfy it?

I'm suffering (or is that enjoying? ;) one of those cravings right now.

Yesterday it was the Dirty at Sweet Revenge with Zubair. We ate the cupcake utensil free, leaving cocoa powder stains on our chins and big grins on our faces...

...and as he took the last bite, I convinced him to stroll over to Magnolia's for another cupcake. Because. This was a different cupcake. And therefore a different creature entirely. In addition, the Magnolia's cupcake was topped with a mocha buttercream whereas Sweet Revenge finished off with dark chocolate ganache. It's like night and day!

Today, I took advantage of the free mini cupcakes from the Cupcake Stop Truck parked at 14th Street and 5th Avenue. I really craved a chocolate-chocolate cupcake but wound up with mint-chocolate, as they had run out of the former.

And because eating a mini cupcake does nothing but make you crave a bigger one, I stopped in at Sugar Sweet Sunshine for the "Ooey Gooey", a chocolate cupcake with chocolate-almond buttercream.

Then I went home and ate some real food.
But now I'm craving a cupcake again.
This is ridiculous.
