Just a few blocks east of our home we discovered the secret 34th ave strip. It’s filled with quaint little shops, including the illustrious St. Clouds, (our ‘Saint Clowns’ as the boys nicknamed it), a brewery (yes!), and the totally witty, completely fabulous, Cupcake Royale! They serve gourmet cupcakes for 2 bucks a pop. Ok, so cupcakes are pretty straight forward fare, but there is something truly exciting about tons of colorful cupcakes behind glass. Justin and Kimberly very kindly bought me a chocolate cupcake with mint frosting. It was delicious.
The hubbub sorrounding the cupcakes was interesting, tons of yuppies and their children swarmed the counter. The kids were really excited and the adults were equally festive. I was also impressed at the reasonable price of the coffee.
Hurrah for cupcakes!
