I am currently fantasizing about Cupcake Royale.

I live two blocks up the street from their Ballard location, and I haven't indulged since October. OCTOBER people. Each month, I see their new cupcake, and I start dreaming of all the wonderful cupcakes I can eat. But then I hold back, convince myself that I don't need all the calories, and then bake myself something at home.

Tonight, I'm baking a cake for our party tomorrow night. So yet another month will pass without tasting their delectable treats.

April's flavor is Honey Peanut Brittle (see above picture.) Drool.

But next month... next month I am COMMITTING to a CUPCAKE.

Specifically, the cupcake of the month. Meet May's Cupcake - the Chocolate Scorcher!


Described as "Dark chocolate cake. Rich cream cheese. Fragrant spices. Fiery ghost chiles. Theo Chocolate." I am quivering with excitement.
