The Cupcake ATM

Yes! Somebody has finally used their head and made one of my dreams come true :)

Sprinkles Magic Cupcake ATM

A cupcake ATM! Say what?!? An ATM that will dispense pretty, yummy cupcakes instead of money?

Yes, yes the rumors are true and Candace Nelson the founder of Sprinkles and the judge of one of Food Networks most yummiest shows "Cupcake Wars" has come up with the sweetest idea ever!

The Cupcake ATM

 

So imagine it's late night, like 2:30am and your walking around zombie like craving some cupcakes, yet all of the bakeries are closed and your (me in other words) just too lazy to bake some cupcakes all you have to do is walk up to the Cupcake ATM and put your credit card and out pops a perfectly, yummy cupcake! Gah, I'm jumping for joy just thinking about it!

And what's making it even more surreal and exciting is that one of these magic ATM's will be installed in my hood! 

The Upper West Side!!

 I can just imagine all these coming Summer nights when Miguelito and me allow our night owls to come out and our cupcake hunger starts to take over us! We shall just walk over to "our" magic ATM and enjoy one of life's many pleasures!

"When you look at a cupcake, you've got to smile"

What's your dream ATM?

Love,

Happy 1st day of September! 

Just 23 days left until the first day of Fall and I am so excited. Not only does that mean cooler weather but also the beautiful transformation of Central Park. I get to walk through Central Park and take in all the beautiful colors!! But before I get ahead of myself we still have to bid farewell to a very sweet Summer which has been full of lots of fun adventures and sweet, yummy treats. Meaning lots of cupcakes from different places :)

 About 2 weeks ago (Aug 19,2011 to be exact) we ventured down to the Times Square area in hopes of enjoying some cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. Before I continue you must understand that these are not your ordinary everyday cupcakes. These are itty bitty cupcakes, meaning they are literally the size of a quarter, but they are so delicious and full of yummy fillings. 

So many itty bitty cupcakes! Which ones to choose?? You can see how ecstatic Miguelito was to see so many cupcakes :)

Once we got to the store I could not decide on one flavor, they have 11 flavors, including the Mini of The Month which changes every month. So I did the next best thing, I ordered 12 minis for Miguelito, my Mom and me! We shared itty bitty bites of our choices with each other and OMG were they heavenly!!! They were so good that Miguelito has asked us that instead of buying a birthday cake for his birthday on Monday, if we could get him 50 mini cupcakes along with me baking him a cake at home instead :)

Miguelito such a happy child :)

Flavors left to right:

1st Row: Cookie Dough, Chocolate Chip Pancake, Tie-Dye, Mini of the month - Pink Lemonade

2nd Row: Cookies & Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Red Velvet, Pink Lemonade

3rd Row: Cinnamon, Smores, Peanut Butter Cup, Peanut Butter & Jelly

They were all delicious but I have to say that my favorite flavors were the Mint Chocolate Chip - which consist of chocolate cake,chocolate cookie filling, mint icing, and chocolate chips, the Cinnamon - yellow cake, cinnamon filling, vanilla icing, and cinnamon sugar topping, the Chocolate Chip Pancake - yellow pancake, maple syrup icing, and chocolate chips, and last but not least the Tie - Dye - vanilla cake, and vanilla icing!

So you see never judge something by it's size, you could be missing out on some out of this world deliciousness!

Oh and dear friends I do promise to take every single one of you to Baked By Melissa when you visit me in New York - that includes you Darling Claire :)

Love,

Kary xoxo
