Mommy Time

With Bailey in school and the boys in preschool a few days  a week I have a little time to myself. So far I have used it to grocery shop, shop for other things, have lunch at fun places, clean the house, do my DIY projects and go to places in the city I have never been to. And this past Wednesday was one of those days. I went with a friend to Marietta Square to try a cupcake place that I heard about from the one of the Cupcake Hunters. A friend of mine, Kim, in California, with three of her friends on are on the hunt for the perfect cupcake. And I am so glad they are because one of them was in GA the other week and went to Miss Mamie's Cupcakes.

She said it was the best cupcake she had ever eaten! So I had to go and try them! So Karri and I dropped our kids off at preschool and away we went! I had never been to Marietta Square so I was excited to finally go. It is such a quaint little town square in the middle of a big city. And it has lots of little boutique shops and cafes. Before the cupcake shop we went to an Australian Cafe. We had some kind of spinach/feta pie. It was yummy.

 Then we just walked around. I almost felt like I was in another city because we parked and walked around the square a few times. People in America never walk. It was nice. Then we window shopped before we headed to get our cupcakes.

So the cupcakes...they were sooooo good! Amazing! The cupcake hunter was right. They had the perfect amount of cake/icing ratio. Not too much icing or not enough cake.

Someone else I met had suggested the cheesecake cupcake. I was skeptical but it was so moist and tasted just like a cheesecake. I loved it. I also tried the red velvet because it's my favorite and it was spot on! Karri tried the banana pudding cupcake and it did not disappoint! I also took home the Guiness and a Reese's peanut butter cupcake both of which were delicious and the kids loved them as well.

The shop was so cute. And one of the most amazing things is that the girl who owns and makes the cupcakes is only 24 yrs. old! Wow!

So cupcake hunters I hope you come again my way! Maybe I'll have to go hunting for them! :)
