I am a huge sucker for Raspberry Artificial flavoring, so any place that can indulge my unnatural desire for the sweet succulence of processed Raspberry is… good.
Currently typing is a little bit difficult because my fingers are a little bit wobbly weirdy at the moment. This is because I am on a sugar high. This is because I ate a cupcake for breakfast. This is because the cupcake that I got last night was so huge that I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. Even though they gave me a fork with which to carve into the massive cupcake—a chocolate cupcake was topped with none other than a Raspberry glaze and a dollop of cream cheese frosting bigger than my face—I still couldn’t finish it. In my opinion, that is exactly how a cupcake should be.
This is why I have come to be the newest advocate for Provo’s newest hotspot: The Cocoa Bean.
They have THESE:
Not only do they have cupcakes, but they have RASPBERRY VANILLA ITALIAN CRÈME SODAS. So in one night, I got to combine Raspberry with chocolate AND vanilla. Finally, I truly believe that Provo really is Happy Valley.
I am literally, literally, quivering with joy right now.

    First, SIERRA YOU HAVE A BLOG. How was I unaware? I'm reading everything right now. Second, don't worry that I'm in love with cupcakes too. Cocoa Bean is delish, but puhlease try The Sweet Tooth Fairy too. Divine.

    I really need to try this place, although these things don't seem extraordinarily safe for my insulin levels if Sierra's reaction is any indicator. Oh well…

    I love Cupcakes. In fact, I made some the other day with my mother in our new, well new to me, Industrial sized cupcake pan. Not many things make me happier than industrial sized stuff, especially when it's cupcakes. Don't become diabetic but, then again, sometimes it's worth it. 🙂

    NO JOKE. My friend was given one of their cupcakes as a gift, and after two bites I was in Heaven. Even if the idea of a whole cupcake intimidates me.
    And cupcakes are "in" right now. It's kind of mysterious…

    Thats the best part about these cupcakes! I completely agree Cat, they are intimidating, but they give you a fork so it's not as much of an endeavor.

    And what comes in when cupcakes go out, pray tell? Like. ganasches?
