This was originally posted last summer when I was a guest writer at Se7en’s blog.
After a really annoying day, (don’t ask,) my friend came over and we decided to go to a favorite bakery and treat ourselves. Their specialty? Cupcakes. Hers was cappuccino with chocolate frosting, and mine was lemon with buttercream frosting. Everything got all better within 10 minutes.
I was telling Se7en this story and we got into a lengthy discussion about cupcakes. What our favorites were, homemade vs store bought, frosting, etc..
He called the next day.
Se7en: “You and your cupcakes.”
Lisa: “Huh?”
Se7en: “I had to go to the store yesterday for some breakfast stuff. I was looking around and there was a box of freshly baked cupcakes. So of course I HAD to buy some.”
Lisa: Laughing uncontrollably, “I really got to you, huh?”
Se7en: “Yes you did.”
Lisa: “So how many have you eaten?”
Se7en: “Just one so far, I do have SOME willpower.”
Lisa: Still giggling, “Watch out, they will they be calling your name in the middle of the night.”
Se7en: “Probably so.”
Next time I will call Se7en after I’ve eaten some cake.
*Smirk*
I’m evil that way.
Aw crap. Now I want a cupcake.
Oh for the love of god. Now I have to go to the store!
Yeah, that serves ya right! Enticing me with cupcakes! Bad Lisa!!!!!! Last time I looked, cupcakes weren’t on my diet plan….
Now I want a cake.
Inquiring minds want to know… were they from Magnolia or another bitter foe in the NYC cupcake war?
You got to me with a recycled post? Dang.
Recycling? Are you trying to save the planet, or something?
@Carolyn… What flavor did you buy?
@Se7en… That’s me, Miss Enticer
Sigh. I haven’t had a cupcake since I wrote that post.
@Fuzz… Me too!
@Oob… While I really like Magnolia, it was from a bakery called “Crumbs.”
@Golfwidow..Yay me!!!
@D-Man… Funny guy
Hi Lisa. Found you via Cajun Boy. Wow is my sweet tooth legendary – it’s 8am and this post made me crave a red velvet with cream cheese! Yummmm. You haven’t had a cupcake since last summer??? *gasp* I feel faint.
There is a delicious cupcake place here in DC that I now feel completely compelled to hit up like today.
Lisa, I wanted chocolate w/raspberry filling, but they were out. I didn’t settle so I haven’t had one yet
shit… me too! I haven’t had a cupcake in years!
I used to love the Drake’s Cakes… it was 3 chocolate cupcakes with creme filling and no icing. Luckily I gave those up many years ago… actually I don’t even know if they have Drakes Cakes in California.
Cupcakes are the biggest rage right now!
Tee hee. ANd oldie but a goodie (with goodies in it…like cupcakes!)
Make sure it’s got lemon pudding in the middle. Or chocolate.
This post made me hungry for mint chocolate chip ice cream, but don’t ask me why.
i would prefer a cookie right now. an oatmeal raisin one. with a cup of whole milk. please.
OMG… now I want a cupcake AND cake.
And your evilness is one of the things I love about you, Lisa.
Summer re-runs…how “sweet”…teehee
You are truly evil.
And if you’re ever in SF, you should stop by Citizen Cake or their mini location in the Virgin store, Citizen Cupcake.
I remember the original post, LOL. I think I’m gonna get myself some tiramisu later…. you’ve talked me into it!
I just don’t get cupcakes, or cake in general really. I like to make them pretty, but I always give them away in the end. If you went around telling that story, I could follow you with my treats and we could make a killing!
mmmm… cupcakes
