Recently, I prepared to hit the road for my cousin's wedding in Toledo, Ohio. This is a looooooong trip-minimum 9 hours-so I jazzed myself up for the journey by looking up cupcakeries in the area. And you know what? I found one!
Cake in a Cup is an adorable little cupcakery located in the western Toledo suburbs. They are currently revamping their site, but I knew this place would be great as they have a rotating daily cupcake menu. We waltzed in on St. Patrick's Day, and discovered many leprechaun-inspired treats, including Green Velvet cupcakes.
My mom and I decided to try the Snickerdoodle and Black & Tan.

I *love* cupcakes inspired by other desserts,and in this case, inspired by the famous buttery cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar. When I ate the cupcake, I was stuffed full with delicious wedding cake. But I dutifully pressed onward, tasted it..and it was sensational. I personally did not care for the marshmallow buttercream frosting, but the cake was excellent. It was light, airy, and magically infused with sweet cinnamon sugar. I am so glad we ventured out to this cupcakery, if only for this cupcake.
The next day, we tried the Black & Tan, chocolate-stout cupcake.

The chocolate cake was light and fluffy, but I failed to taste the stout. The frosting had substance without being too sweet. This cupcakery is 2 for 2!
Finally, I want to say I am blessed with such wonderful family. In times of dark clouds that had me blind (quite literally), they helped me have bright sunshiney days again. During awful times, when I was walking around in a detached daze, they helped bring me back to life. I am grateful for every last one of them.
I wish my cousin Erin all the happiness in the world, and many bright sunshiney days!
