Cupcakes!

When I go to Atlanta on the weekends, for some reason I usually crave cupcakes. I don’t know why…it’s just one of those things. I found the Atlanta Cupcake Factory online a few months ago and insisted that Justin and I go.

The shop is in a small retail strip and is tiny. I doubt more than four customers could comfortably fit inside. I remember buying a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing and a chocolate cupcake with almond icing on my first visit. I can’t remember what Justin ordered. Mine were both delicious! The cream cheese icing was unbelievable. It was light and fluffy and heavenly. The almond icing was the same except that it was almond flavored. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

The Sunday before last, I needed a cupcake, so Justin and I headed to ACF. When we arrived, we found them closed because they were sold-out! I can understand and accept that they sold-out (those cupcakes are delicious!). What can they do if they’re out of cupcakes?! We drove to another cupcakery only to find them closed, too. I was beyond mad. Atlanta had to have one cupcake for me!

We then went to Whole Foods. I’ve had their cupcakes before and they’re ok. Their cupcakes aren’t as light and fluffy as ACF’s cupcakes, but they’ll do. I always get a carrot cake cupcake from Whole Foods. One good thing about the Whole Foods cupcakes is their size. They are huge!
