Everything's Coming Up Cupcakes

OK, so this post may have sprouted from the fact that I am limiting my diet recently, so it has not included any sweets. I usually do not have much of a sweet tooth, but cupcakes are a new passion of mine, and more because I love the way they look than for the taste. They're just damn charming, aren't they?

I made some for a party I had right before Christmas--2 kinds, lemon cupcakes with a lemon cream cheese frosting, (the same recipe my sister used for my wedding cake), and my grandmother's infamous "Ms. Wolfe's Cupcakes." (I will save the recipe for a future post, but they are unbelievable--a chocolate cupcake with a sweet white icing and then a layer of dark chocolate ganache on top, hardened in the fridge. To die for...)

Just in the past 2 days I have seen posts about cupcakes on a few different blogs that I read...

Like Post Grad Hair Cut's post: Vancouver Guide: CoCo Cupcakes.

So, here I am doing my own cupcake post...about the only cupcake shop I know of in Columbia, (please, do tell, if there are more): Cupcake.

Cupcake's original location is in Charleston, and one moved into the Vista in Columbia last year. There are 9 cupcake flavors baked fresh daily. They also sell Cupcake Gift Tokens, packaged in a pink or chocolate brown bag, you can send a 1/2 dozen, dozen or more tokens as a gift to be redeemed at any Cupcake store. What a sweet surprise Valentine's gift that could be!
