Cupcakes!

Tomorrow is Naseem's 17th birthday! Where did the time go?? Sigh....

This afternoon, Remy & I made cupcakes for her to take to school tomorrow.

I found these cute cupcake liners at Fred Meyer.

Nas' favorite cake: Funfetti!

Fun Fact & Money Saving Tip: Ask the bakery at your local grocery store for take out whipped cream icing. It's inexpensive (less than $5 for two 16 oz. containers) & tastes delicious! I also asked if I could purchase sprinkles. A 3 oz container in the baking section cost over $3 & the sprinkles weren't that cute. The bakery sold me a huge container (over 8 oz) for .56 cents!

Deliciousness!

Remy enjoys whipped cream frosting too! Don't worry - I triple sanitized the spatula. :)

Sweet Treat!

For once, our local newspaper, The Columbian had an article worth reading. I just happened to read the paper today & noticed there was a new cupcake place in town, called TREAT. I was so excited, as this is the first of it's kind in Vancouver, where PDX has several very good cupake joints (Cupcake Jones & Saint Cupcake). Nas & I had errands to run, so I decided to make TREAT one of our stops. I am so glad I did. I bought a 6 pack for my family and a darling 2 pack for my friend Tammie (it is her bday afterall). HB TAMMIE! Yummy red velvet

Snickerdoodle, coconut cream, red velvet, triple chocolate & PB&J.

6 pack: one coconut cream, one snickerdoodle, red velvet & triple chocolate.

Try this place! It's so cute & the owner is very nice (& gives out cupcake punch cards)!
TREAT is located at 210 W Evergreen Blvd in downtown Vancouver.
