Hello from California! Yup, that’s right, I’m out here again for a few days for work and I did get some family/nephew time in, so that’s always a bonus. And this weekend, I’ll be heading to Ohio, fun times. Since I’ve been flying around the country like crazy lately with no time to just sit and relax, this will be a bit of a random post but I wanted to announce the winner of the Oh Sweetlee Me giveaway!
The lucky winner is… Katie from She likes ruffles, he likes truffles! Congrats! If you didn’t win, but still would like to place an order for a hand stamped necklace or camera strap cover, you can still take 10% off your order with code SANDYROCKS!
Katie – send me an email at sandyalamode(at)gmail(dot)com with the item of your choice and mailing address and we’ll get it sent to ya!

Last week, during the Creative Estates conference, I ate not one, but TWO cupcakes in a matter of a week. That’s kind of amazing since, for some reason, I feel like I only eat them about once a month. I know, how can I go so long without eating one? You got me. The other day I stumbled upon this totally awesome print of The Anatomy of a Cupcake by Allen Hemberger and I just had to share it. From the sprinkles to the frosting to the ingredients to the wrapper, it spells P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.
What’s your favorite cupcake flavor?
(I get weak in the knees for red velvet with cream cheese frosting. But perhaps that will change after trying these Michabella’s Cupcakery flavors, which I’m hoping to the next time I’m out in Orlando.)
Yummmm cupcakes! My fave are red velvet:-)
Enjoy your traveling!
I love cupcakes! I make a mean key lime one with meringue topping and everything.
P.S. The stuff I ordered from your shop came in this morning and I love it! http://www.freckleditalian.com/2011/04/new-headband.html
that’s such a great image of the anatomy of a cupcake! my favorite flavor is brown cinnamon sugar 🙂
I’m not picky. Just hand over the cupcake. =)
Oh yes, I saw this recently and thought it was brilliant!!
There are so many flavors to cupcakes its hard to choose but chocolate with strawberries on top will always be a fave:)
Hope your travels are going well!
Red Velvet all the way! Have a great time in CA!
where in california are you? la, aren’t you? boo!
just kidding. i know you have family there so i do hope you’re time. hope work is also going well. i don’t have a favorite cupcake flavor. guess i have to taste my way to a favorite.
The best cupcake I ever had was a s’more cupcake… graham cracker on the bottom, delicious cake, chocolate and a marshmallow on top. Mmm!
oh my goodness that is TOO cute!!! i love this.
you know my fave but i’m gonna say it anyways: red velvet with cream cheese frosting pls!
Awesome, love the picture! 🙂 My favorite is vanilla. Simple, I know. I’ve had the BEST cupcakes from Tammie Coe..more specifically they’re called Ooey Gooey cupcakes! The cupcake is cold which thickens the frosting….drools!
Funfetti cupcakes are the best.

love cupcakes and can’t believe you’re in CA again! enjoy all the good eats for me would ya.
happy weekend friend and thanks for announcing the giveaway!
ooops i meant the giveaway winner. : )
LOVE that poster! I always try a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting wherever I go. I find that’s a good baseline for figuring out if the place actually knows how to make a good cupcake. My favorite flavor beyond that? I really do love the chocolate cupcakes with nutella whipped creme frosting I make.
That print is genius, and too cute!!! All this talk of cupcakes lately has left me with a serious craving. Might have to make some this weekend!
ohhh I love cupcakes! I prefer them over cakes, pies, tarts you name it. I love all flavors. The stranger the better. Key Lime, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip, the list goes on!!
Red velvet, yum!
mmmm. cupcakes. there’s a shop here that sells a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and toasted marshmallows and cocoa puffs on top. it’s so good and im not normally a chocolate on chocolate person! i also make a mean brownie with mint filling cupcake.
That print is amazing! Love it. 😀
im weird but i don’t really like sweets much..exception would be a cupcake!! I love that print!
This is the cutest. thing. ever.
My favorite cuppycake I ever had was a boston creme pie cupcake. Delicious!
My mouth is watering! I have a great cupcake shop down the street from my work and its so hard not to go there everyday !!
Love that print! Posted it on my Facebook wall.
Seriously? There has never been a cupcake I didn’t fall in love with.
I love vanilla cupcakes with a hint of lemon zest and cranberries, topped with butter cream icing… mmmm… now I have an appetite!!
I’d like to invite you to join my Shabby Apple Dress Giveaway 🙂
Now I’m craving cupcakes, specifically oreo flavored ones! They’ll always be my favorite!

I love red velvet with cream cheese too! I’m serving mini ones at my recital reception on Friday! 🙂
Mmmm, now I have a mad cupcake craving! For me, the more chocolate, the better. Maybe with peanut butter frosting?

my all time fave will always be red velvet!
these cupcakes are so cute, i love red velvet!
I’ve never been a huge cupcake eater but I had a cupcake the other night and it was to dieeee for. Oakmont Bakery in Pennsylvania. You have to go if you’re even in PA!
