Lavender Moon Cupcakery


You know we had to come home and head to one of the great cupcakeries here at home...So we headed to the Lavender Moon Cupcakery in Alexandria to try it out. I love Old Alexandria. When we walked through the doors we kind of got a Parisian bakery feel with a bit of theatrical flare, with its striped walls and framed counter top. The cupcakes were plenty to chose from and sweet! So if you need a gathering place, this would be on the list. Check it out! Then head to the historical streets of Old Alexandria to walk it off...lol

Cupcake Charm in Atlanta!


On our travels to Atlanta we also stopped by The Cupcake Charm gourmet cupcakery. I had my classic vanilla cupcake and it was gooood!!! The cupcakery has a starbucksy feel with some cupcake glam. So if you're ever in Marietta, Georgia... feel free to stop by and have some coffee and a charming cupcake at 156 Roswell St. Marietta, GA 30060!

The Atlanta Cupcake Factory!




So, I am a little late posting, but I have to rave about this cute vintage cupcake shop we visited while we were in Atlanta. The Atlanta Cupcake Factory. Don't be fooled. The name entails a huge place with no personality. This cute vintage style cupcake shop is nothing but. We loved it. The attendant was so sweet and inviting and they even opened a few minutes earlier for us, after they saw us peeking through the window. Sadly we took a lot of pics, (which Jay lost in a botched IPhone upload) while we were tasting their wonderful red velvet cupcake ( Jay's fav) and I had the dreamsicle...OMG, it was definitely dreamy...I can still taste it months later. So if ever you feel like heading down to Georgia, make sure you don't miss this cute little cupcakery!

Joan Rivers even wore a baker's hat and held a giant box of cupcakes that they all had made. Khloe was shown in front of a Bank of America and was telling people to buy cupcakes to help the economy over a megaphone.
