Double birthdays means double the birthday treats! Taste Tester and I celebrated our birthdays with Chocolate Opera Cake and Happy Face Peanut Butter Pancakes (see sketch after the break). Read on for the recipes!
Just a small note before you continue: some internet meanies have been tinkering with my site (jerks!). We are working on fixing […]

Long time no see! That was the longest hiatus I’ve ever taken here on the blog, but it turns out that writing a book is a lot of work - who knew? It has been a great project to work on but has kept me away from here for far too long and I am […]

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in posts. I had some family obligations this week and wasn’t able to write - you know I wouldn’t skip out on my chocolate and peanut butter without good reason!
Lucky for me, it appears that you cpb lovers have telepathic powers because in my absence, you have been nice […]

Uh oh, watch out - we’re on a cupcake kick again!
Taste Tester wanted to visit Sweet Revenge ages ago. It took us a while, but we recently gained the motivation to go from this list of New York’s Best Cupcakes by Nancy Olson of Gramery Tavern. Nancy raved about Sweet Revenge’s “The Sweet Revenge” peanut […]

Despite the fact that it’s weather kinda sucks, and its inhabitants (for the most part) need to be educated on what a good pizza slice is, Chicago is a pretty excellent place. Taste Tester and I used to live there and like to return fairly regularly to visit friends, family and of course chow down […]

Did I say I was going to take a break from cupcakes for a while? I meant… after this post…
Seriously - how cute is that?
This pic almost looks like a frame of a stop animation film. I half expect the cupcake to come alive and sort of waddle it’s way off the table and out […]

This is kind of a random stop on the tour since it’s a bookstore and not a bakery, but I make the rules here so deal with it! :) Happy to support an independent bookshop, we stopped in Overwrite while on the lookout for coffee. Lucky for us they also sell cupcakes. This coincidence has […]

Lindsay and I wasted no time after our visits to Sweet Pockets and The Atlanta Cupcake Factory, and walked right over to Belly General Store.
What’s that? Visiting two cupcakeries in a day is plenty? Who do you think you are dealing with here, amateurs? Ha!

Don’t you love it when I tell you to “tune in” and then I proceed to disappear? I have great blogging ethic these days don’t I?
FYI: If you are too lazy to read this big long giant beast of a post, scroll down and check out the Pros and Cons cheat sheet at the bottom […]

The incredible Vegan Peanut Butter Cupcake posted above is from The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago (from flickr user The Bleeding Heart Bakery). Drooling yet?
Taste Tester and I were only in Chicago for two days, and since we bought over a dozen cupcakes on our visit to Molly’s Cupcakes we didn’t get around to visiting […]
