The Sweet Tooth Fairy Lives Up To It's Name

So today I had some extra time to kill after my class at the gym and before picking Riley up from school so Kendall and I made a trip to the Dollar Store to pick up a few items for their Easter Baskets and to check out their selection for things for his Pirate themed birthday party next month.  After that we still had some time left over so I wanted to go scope out the newest bakery in town...The Sweet Tooth Fairy.  Oh my word...talk about delicious!  They had some free samples so of course Kendall and I needed to try out the banana cake w/ caramel icing as well as the frosted oatmeal cookies!  YUMMO!  We came home with two cupcakes...I know, that's a lot of restraint for me!  I wanted to try one of EVERYTHING!

How cute and simple is this packaging?  They will also pack your cupcake in a little box with a bow if you are taking it to someone for a special occasion!

This one is Grasshopper       


And this one is Strawberry Shortcake


At first the kids' hands were flying, each trying to grab a cupcake...hence the somewhat blurry chocolate photo!  I cut each cupcake into thirds and we all got to try a piece...well, actually I saved the grasshopper for after dinner for me and Sis, but Riley insisted on tasting both of them after lunch today.  They are delicious! (I did lick the knife I used to cut Riley's piece of grasshopper!)

I can't wait to go back again...thank goodness they aren't cheap because this could be VERY dangerous.  I'm a cake-loving girl!  It's my weakness for sure!  Andy could care less about cake, he'd rather have some good cookies or an apple pie, but I can't get enough cake (must have buttercream frosting or it's not even worth it!)

For those of you who follow Nie Nie's Dialogues (aka Stephanie Nielson who lives just south of here in Provo), they have a vanilla cupcake named after her.  It's called a Va-NIE-la cupcake!  If you go HERE you can drool over all the different kinds of cupcakes they make...

At least now I'm inspired to make Riley's pirate-ship birthday cake...maybe I'll have to practice over Easter break?
