Cupcake Nation

It seems that fairly recently America has developed an obsession with cupcakes. Am I right? They're everywhere. St. Louis has followed suit, so today me, my mom, Abby and Mitch all went downtown to try this specialty cupcake place that every one's crazy about.


I find humor in the name "cupcake bar." If you don't drink alcohol, don't worry, there's still a bar for you. I have a feeling Jilly may be LDS.

My mom chose "Velvet Praline." She seemed happy with her decision. I think the cream cheese frosting was the icing on the cake for her (haha, I love witticism).

Now, before you think I'm a bad sister for posting this picture, I want to inform you that this is exactly how he opted to have his picture taken. Mitch chose "Chocolate Thunder." With it's dark chocolate filling, it was by far the best decision of the batch. Luckily he shared. What a good little brother.

This lonely little cupcake represents Abby since she refused to have her picture taken because, "it's just a cupcake." She chose some pink, frilly one called "Missy Licious." Judging by the name, it sounds like Miss Abby and this cupcake have a lot in common. I didn't try it, but the butter cream frosting was all the rage.

After you stop laughing because my head is twelve times larger than my body in this picture, you can know that I chose "The Bee Sting." It was vanilla and lemon. Very tasty.


I will admit that I enjoyed the "cupcake bar," though I'm not quite sure I understand the cupcake fad yet. But why not? Cupcakes are fun and yummy, so go ahead and charge five dollars each. Just give it a cute name and it'll be worth it.
