Happy Anniversary to me! Oh -and my husband! Looking for any excuse what-so-ever to eat cake, I wandered over to Hello Cupcake on CT ave and picked up a few. Of course, I'm not waiting til after dinner to try this. I had the 'You Tart' and I think I may have died and gone to heaven where cupcakes are all I get to eat and they are fat free and low cal. ONly they're not. And I'm still at work so I'm pretty sure I didn't die.

So good. I think of myself as a sort of conisour of cupcakes based solely on the fact that I really, really, really like cake. Like Romeo kind of liked Juliette. Like the greek dude was a little upset about Helen of Troy skipping out on him. I am attempted to work my way through the Hello Cupcake cookbook (which incidently has no affiliation with this bakery of the same name) and there are a lot of new cupcake places in town to sample. I have been to Cake Love in Shirlington and the CakeLove on U street ( I don't think these affiliate either) and my sister-in-law has her own cupcake biz where I steal all the leftovers and I bake myself, just not to this caliber. Anyways, so far, I swear that 'Yo Tart' lemon cupcake from Hello Cupcake was the best thing I have ever eaten- period. It was like having a lemon square on a cupcake but light and fluffy without feeling sick or too sweet. It was like pie meets cake and they have this love-child and all the children are so jealous of its' unfloundering beauty, athleticism, and intelligence they don't want to play with them on the playground so there they are, all alone whirling slowly around on the spinny thing while a single beam of light highlights their untouchable brilliance, harps play a chorus and birds sing out of nowhere, while casting shadows on everyone elses' inadiquencies. You know what I mean. That good. I don't even know how i'm going to ever eat anything again knowing that is out there, just being better.

That good.
