Cupcakes and Girls
Cupcakes and girls. I don't know what it is but this cupcake shop has a cult following of...girls. Could it be its sweet, fluffy goodness? Or the colorful and cute mounds make a delicious "accessory"? My take, its's all of the above. The cute white box or cup with their tiffany blue, chic circular label has almost become a status symbol. Yeah, anyone can carry a starbucks cup but a CRAVE cup is original. After a day of pulling for a photo shoot and a quick lunch at Uptown Sushi, I needed something sweet. Luckily, CRAVE is right down the street. With the hustle and bustle around (and in) the place, you would think they're giving cupcakes away. With all the cupcakes beautifully displayed and the glass partition separating you from several pastry chefs frosting or baking, you can get lost in a sugary lala land. Refusing to wait to be in the car to taste my vanilla/vanilla, I took a bite walking to the parking lot. Holy cow!!! They forgot to mention that it's vanilla BEAN! That little details makes all the difference. I should've ordered two! I suddenly felt like that kid - messy face, devouring sweets with mom telling me not to touch a thing in the car. Pure delight, sugar-high in effect! And the coffee, it's delish - made on the spot, blazing hot. I see the obsession and you can consider me a fan.
