I'm usually not a cupcake kinda girl, but have you every tried My Delight Cupcakery?

I love their logo!

Their cupcakes are super moist and come in really fun flavors! The frosting is amazing. It has a nice whippy texture and not too sweet. Here we have (left to right): carrot cake, cookies and cream, the breakfast (bacon & maple syrup), and the french toast with fresh berries. This is only a few of the many selections they offer. 

With Maya's birthday coming up next week, it made me think of My Delight. We plan to order 3 dozen of the mini ones for the kiddies. Yes, they make miniature cupcakes in the same amazing flavors! J brought home this cupcake for me for my birthday last year! Look how generous they are with the bacon? OH, and they also have bacon bits baked inside the cupcake too! Yes I love bacon, don't judge me....

With heart day around the corner, I'm sure your honey would surely appreciate you if you brought home some of these babies...

Japanese packaging

My parents just got back from a 2 week trip to Japan. They were in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and a flash Shinkansen trip to Hakata, Fukuoka known for their Tonkotsu ramen. Japan is so beautiful this time of year with all the leaves changing to gorgeously rich fall colors, called "Koyo". They brought back some cool gifts for us and the kids and I must say I'm always impressed with the packaging.
All in all, Japanese products are always packaged so nicely. Here are a few examples....
