Celebrity Cupcakes

Cupcakes make everything better and I was super excited when my friend brought me Celebrity Cupcakes. This cupcakery is located in Rice Village. There were two cupcakes nestled in their holders when I opened the box. These were banana nut and s'more flavored. The banana nut had a nice subtle flavor and the cream cheese icing was the perfect touch. It wasn't overly sweet and the best part was that the cupcakes weren't super crumbly. I think however, the s'mores was my favorite. The frosting was torched so that it looked like a toasted marshmallow. There was a graham cracker crust on the bottom and the cupcake was a chocolate cake with pieces of chocolate in it. These were interesting flavors and fairly good cakes. If you are ever in The Village be sure to stop by Celebrity Cupcakes and give them a try.

S'more Ice Cream Please!

There is something about ice cream sandwiches and s'mores that just takes me back to my childhood days and reminds me to enjoy the little things in life. However, I was not smart enough to think about combining these two yummy treats into one. Good thing Trader Joe's did when they created the S'more ice cream sandwich. What's even better is that they made it with gelato! Between two graham cracker cookies, there is a chocolate-marshmallow swirl gelato with tiny chocolate chunks nestled inside. The gelato is very light, but so very delicious. The chocolate chunks add a nice texture difference and completes the s'more. The only thing I would say though is that the outside cookie did stick to my fingers, however I was not that upset since it was pretty yummy. The whole thing really did taste like you were eating a cold s'more. I am not one of those people that will only eat ice cream in the summer, so I would recommend grabbing a box (or two) and enjoying this yummy treat. Thanks Trader Joe's for once again finding a way for me to fall in love with my childhood once again.
