Chocolate cake

There is a place in Greenville near Fluor Field that has some of the best chocolate cake. My brother wanted a sweet potato cake from this place the other day, so I got a chocolate one when we pick his cake up. It is a chocolate bundt cake filled with chocolate chips. Chocolate ganache filled the ring of the cake while it overtakes the entire outer surface. When warmed, it gets gooey and floods the taste buds with semi-sweetness. I wish i had another piece left to eat.   

A sweet treat that you don't eat

Cupcakes...no wait...pancakes?

It was late night, yet it was time to eat. I had already eaten supper but the friends I was with had not. It was 10:45ish, so where should we go. The journey took us to IHOP, a great place for pancakes (or hopefully.) The current special was red velvet cupcakes....no pancakes. Red velvet pancakes. They looked dark red and had a drizzle of cream cheese icing all covered with whipped cream. The menu pictured made them look really tempting.

                                     
<--------This is what I ordered. Yes, it was tasty. Yes, I ate the whole thing. Yes, I went to a diabetic coma (not really, but I could my blood sugar surging) These pancakes were really good. I had been having a craving for red velvet cake, which these panCAKES took care of. Next time, I'm getting a doggy bag....maybe. ;)

Cupcakes cupcakes...again?

I recently went to one of my favorite places for sweets (aka Gigi's Cupcakes.) I posted about them a few posts again. Each day they have a daily special. I stumbled upon the Chocolate Malt special. It's devil's food cake, chocolate malt buttercream, garnished with crushed malt balls and a whole malt ball on top. It was very delicious. Find a Gigi's <click here>

  

We are getting a new farmer's market in Lyman near my house (just a quick walk and I'm there.) I went this past Saturday with a friend. One of the vendors is the new cupcake place (which is not far from house either.) It's called Two Sweet Sisters. They sell baking supplies and baked goods. At the farmer's market, they had 3 flavors: strawberries 'n creme (pictured), peanut butter and chocolate, and chocolate and cream cheese. I got a strawberry 'n creme cupcake (thanks to my friend :) It was good. The cake was french vanilla, and the icing was a strawberry buttercream. I look forward to the other flavors. I cannot wait for the Two Sweet Sisters to fully up and running.

I love cupcakes. Just the right size. Portion control :)
