Cupcake Corner Continued

Our visit to Portland led us to The Sweetest Thing Cupcakes.

These cupcakes were pretty, but very dry.  T-3 didn't even want to eat hers.  Bummer.  Icing was tasty though.  It was the little kiosk at the shopping center though - they were not baked on site.  The shop was adorable.

We didn't want to let Portland let us down in the cupcake department, so on advice from a friend we found a total hole-in-the-wall bakery called
T-2 had an amazing Carmel Apple, T-3 - Chocolate Mint, T-1 Chocolate Orange, and I had the recommended "Chantilly".  These were really delicious.  A little too much frosting maybe, but nice and "spongy" cake.  The Carmel Apple was Queen Mommy's fave.  It wasn't a cute shop though and you know how we like our packaging.  You sit in what looks like a antique shop with really dirty looking seats and toys everywhere.  Close your eyes and take a bite!

This last weekend, the princesses visited the Science Works in Ashland, Oregon for a special Magic for Muggles event.  Afterward we got on our brooms and flew over to
Larry's Cupcakes.  New place by the owners of Yummy Cakes which just closed in Medford.  They are focusing on Cupcakes now and had over 30 different flavors.  T-2's bubblegum butter cream left something to be desired, but really, what do you expect?  T-1 loved her chocolate cupcake, but not the raspberry buttercream.  Queen Mommy thought the Carrot Cake  was great.  So. Oregon - go in and try them!
