Cupcakes Like Crack
Ever since Sprinkles Beverly Hills came to Dallas, we’ve had it a few times. In my opinion, it’s ok. I don’t think it’s the end all be all of existence but if we happen to be around there, and there is time, there is no reason not to stop in. Some of the varieties that I’ve tried, I’ve flat out disliked. In general, I tend not to like most frosting, but I really don’t like most of their frosting. My normal favorite is cinnamon sugar, which has no frosting at all.
But today, after our trip to the lawyer to get our wills signed and notarized, we felt that lunch was warranted and since we were there, a stop at Sprinkles was in order. And they had a new flavor which I just HAD to try. Chocolate Marshmallow. It’s a chocolate cupcake with marshmallow cream in the center, and frosted with chocolate ganache. This might be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It’s like a Ding Dong only much much much better. The chocolate in it is dark chocolate which I don’t even like, and I like this cupcake. I’ll be back down there next Saturday for a pre-beach wax and I think I’ll be buying about sixty of those suckers. Forgive me Trainer Dave, for I have sinned.
On an unrelated note, Bridget fell out of her toddler bed twice last night. The first time, we heard “Thump…. WAAAAH!” (deja vu all over again) and went up to find her sitting on the floor bawling her little eyes out. She was not hurt, just scared. It took me a while to get her calmed enough to go back to sleep but she did. Then about 1 a.m. I heard the THUMP again. But no crying. When I went in to her, she was standing up with the most pissed off look on her face. It was not pretty after that, she cried for at least half an hour. I tried to explain to her that if she kept her head on the pillow, she would not fall out of bed. Must have worked because she has not fallen out since. Who knew she was so practical?

What about bed rails?

I think you said that she has a bed rail. If she’s still falling out of bed with one of those, another trick is to take a pool whacky noodle and tuck it under the sheet on the edge of the bed. It adds another level of barriers between her and the floor.
You had me at ganache. When I die, just slather me in it and bury me. Oh, sorry. I forgot about the illsway.
Now, about that liitle practical overachiever that understands logic. What do they say about apples and trees?
Oh how I dread this.
mmm, a ding dong reminiscent cupcake
You know what I made last week? Those “treats” that are gererally made with cripsy rice cereal, butter and marshmallows. But with the CHOCOLATE cripsy rice cereal. Amazing. And it’s such a shame that they’re “too sweet” for the HUSband.
So glad to know that Miss B is getting used to her big girl bed. That must be tough on all of you.
