Sweet Tooth

Sometimes no, ALL the time I have a sweet tooth. I am just a sugar kind of girl. Yeah, popcorn and pretzels, they are nice. I will eat them, and sometimes even crave them. But nothing of that sort is enough to satsify or replace my craving for sweets. Its a problem. Basically I am doomed. It doesn't help that Husby also has the same addiction as me. It is wayyyy too easy to convince him we need to run to the grocery store to pick up some cookie dough. We are not very good at self control. It also doesn't help that we got so many fun kitchen toys for our wedding, like an ice cream machine, a donut maker, and a million cookie pans! We have been trying (TRYING) to cut back on our sugar intake since school started. Its somewhat successful. It keeps me motivated to exercise at least. One of our most indulgent little treats is taking a visit to The Sweet Tooth Fairy. They have the most amazing cupcakes. Not to mention, they won the Food Network's Cupcake Wars back in March (at least I think it was March). If you have not been there yet, you need to try it. Only be warned that you might become addicted. Don't be surprised if you want to go 3 days in a row.
Our personal favorite flavor is the Peanut Butter & Chocolate cupcake. The peanut butter frosting is seriously amazing. It will change your life. You will love it if you are a fan of the classic PB & chocolate duo. They have special flavors they do every month. In September I really enjoyed the Toffee cupcake they featured. Last month (its November now!) I recommended the Pumpkin Chocolate- so good! They also have cute little treats they call Cakebites. It is similar to a cake pop in idea, but they are not on a stick. These are also way yummy, but we don't often purchase them because we feel we get more bang for our buck out of an entire cupcake. However... they do let you sample the cakebites, so that is how we get away with trying all the flavors.

Not to mention, the little bakeries are so adorable. The decorations are so fitting for a cupcake shop. It feels like you stepped back in time to an old ice cream parlor or candy shop. Again, I recommend you go there ASAP, and if you don't live near one, you can order the cakebites online, or just put it on your list of places to visit when you come to Utah. Just don't complain to me later if your pants don't fit, or if you find you are having to re-do your budget to allow for more cupcake spending. But if you are sweets lover, its worth it.
