cupcake showdown

Austin has no shortage of cupcake joints so in the aim to be fair and good Sarah and I sampled a number of them.

1. Hey Cupcake. The cupcakes live in an AIRSTREAM just like we did. And for FREE you can get icing shot into the middle of your cupcake (unless of course they have sold out of said icing, which is technically impossible as you can't sell something free, so DO NOT LIE TO US HEY CUPCAKE JUST GIVE US MORE SUGARY ICING BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING AND I MUST HAVE MORE).

See, I point to the icing. It is cream cheesy and delicious, though this was around 2am so judgment is less sound...

But the inspection was thorough and I made sure that other people eating them enjoyed them too:

We were advised, however, that there was another mecca for cupcakes in Austin, a little off the beaten path, where something lemony and sugary and CUPCAKEY lived...

So off we went, actually using google maps, and eventually...

We done found SUGAR MAMAS BAKESHOP

And lo the cupcakes were good....

Behold, the Pinup:

There was another cupcake AND a shot of cream cheese icing but we gobbled those up too fast for me to get photos...

There were SO MANY good choices that I'll admit we had ever so slightly sourpuss faces knowing that having any more would make us ill..

Cupcakes are magic. I'm daydreaming now...

(BTW - there are no knives at Sugar Mamas but there are spoons. If you have knives on the premises then you have to pay sales tax... WACKADOO)
