Local Loves - The Cupcake Cottage

A few weeks ago, I posted about a new favorite eatery here in Cowtown.  And since I love promoting local business, I thought I would include a Local Loves post at least once a month (if not more often).  This month it's all about the cake! ^_^

I am a huge lover of cupcakes.  Small little celebrations wrapped in pretty colors - a cupcake is happiness in my hand.  AND I don't have to share or feel guilty for eating the whole thing.  Win-Win!  But of course, being the total Type-A personality that I am means I'm extremely particular about my small sweets.

Enter The Cupcake Cottage.  This little gem of a bakery is within biking distance from my house and features a creative assortment of flavors each day.  They use fresh ingredients resulting in moist cake and wonderful fluffy frosting.  I'm not usually a big fan of frosting but theirs melts in my mouth.  No naked cupcakes for me now!

Every year for my birthday, the Hubby and I head down for a little cake celebration.  It's one of my favorite parts of the day.  I have recently discovered a really bad work day is set right with a bit of cakery love too. 

This year we had cookies-n-cream yumminess set with Halloween fun.

Hello party in my mouth!  Another perk that makes it a party every time is the pretty pink box my cupcakes travel home in; it's better than a blue Tiffany's box.  Well almost.

The owners are extremely friendly and remember you from cupcake to cupcake.  If you're on the bricks of Camp Bowie, make sure to check them out.  They open at 10AM and stay until the last cupcake is sold!
