Itsy Bitsy

A few weeks ago a friend of Anthony's came by for a visit and brought this adorable and delicious miniature cupcakes! They're small, about 2 inches wide. But they're also $2 each! I don't know about you but that's expensive for something that you can eat in one bite.

The 3 in the back got a little rocked during transport and were on their side when I opened the box.

These came from a store in the Melbourne CBD called The Cupcake Family.

They have standard size cupcakes too ($3.70 each) and what they call their "deluxe cupcakes." Anthony and I particularly love the Chocolate Peanut Butter which is described as "Rich chocolate cake with melted crunchy peanut butter filling, topped with smooth peanut butter cream." It's $7 for one so it's not something we would indulge in often.

Chocolate Peanut Butter ($7 Deluxe Cupcake)

The 4 mini cupcake flavors we got this time were:

Mini Coffee Crunch (front row)
Coffee lovers, this one is for you! Coffee cupcake with crunchy walnut and coffee buttercream. Garnished with crushed walnut.

Mini Blueberry Cream Cheese (second row with the blue mouse ears)
Blueberry cupcake with a touch of pure maple syrup and silky soft cream cheese buttercream.

Mini Snowy Strawberry
Moist chocolate cupcake and whippy strawberry buttercream that melt in your mouth, dusted with real strawberry powder.

Mini Red Velvet (last row with the red and black diamond and spade)
Moist chocolate cupcake with a hint of vanilla, topped with smooth cream cheese icing. Our Best Seller!

Probably a good thing that they're located in the CBD, which means I don't have easy access to it! I think we all know I don't need any extra help adding on those pounds!!

But cupcakes....YUM!
