I Needed A Cupcake. Badly.

Last week I was having a craving. A craving that would not go away.

Have you watched that new show DC Cupcakes on TLC? Mmmm. Cupcakes. Love it.

After watching that show, I've wanted a cupcake. Then someone on Twitter mentioned looking into getting some shipped to her. So I went to see how much it would be to ship some to ME. Uh, $55. Not. Gonna. Happen.

Then I was on a hunt. I. NEEDED. A. CUPCAKE.

One of the girls I went to high school with has been a pastry chef for years as well as a caterer and baker. She was going to be opening a CUPCAKE SHOP, but missed a minor detail of needing to have the health department come in and take a look around, so that was delayed. I was all over her Facebook page trying to figure out if she was open yet since her original open date was going to be June 10th. What I found was that the health department was going to be visiting her the next day. So, she was out.

In a desperate attempt to find a LOCAL cupcake shop, I started googling. I knew they had to be around but I couldn't think of any off the top of my head. Then. THEN, I found one. I could either go to Seattle or Bellevue. Bellevue is more convenient and easier to get around.

I sent my friend Megan a text and told her that I had an idea that included cupcakes. But she had a migraine and her daughter had a friend over. So that put a ca-bosh on THAT idea.

I couldn't believe how badly I had talked myself into needing a cupcake. {Can we say P.M.S.?}

Even though my sister and I don't see each other a lot, we still have fun when we're together so I decided to text her and see what she was doing. Turns out that she couldn't go either, BUT she said she could the next day. So I said alright. We planned for me to meet her at her house in the morning and her and the boys and I would all head to Bellevue to Trophy Cupcakes.

And that's what we did.


When we got there we couldn't figure out where we were supposed to park. It's a fairly new building that neither Dawn or I had ever been to so we asked the valet where we should park. He said that if we were just going to be a few minutes we could park right there in the round-about {otherwise it would've been a few streets away unless we wanted to pay $11 across the street. I think not}. SO NICE of him!! We had to make it a quick trip in and out or else I would've taken some pictures of how frickin adorable this place was. The boys didn't know where we were going ahead of time so it was a fun surprise for them, too.

We had also planned on going down to a park, but it was SO COLD and windy that we just couldn't do it. We did end up going to another beachy area, but we stayed in the car most of the time.





After that little adventure, we headed home and my craving was satisfied AND I had some for the road, since Dawn and I split a dozen. We had to bring some home for the men in our lives, too, cuz we're nice like that.


Have you ever had a craving that you just HAD to satisfy? What was it?
