After finally deciding on a flavor, I was pretty excited to start on X.  I was originally going to do a regular cupcake, but then thought of frozen chocolate covered bananas.  (I’d insert a stolen photo here, but they all looked very phallic…) I started off by making a banana cake using my standard cake [...]

Finding a food that starts with X was very difficult.   There is Xanthan Gum…useful for gluten free cupcakes, but definitely not a main ingredient.   Xavier Steak: which has asparagus and Swiss cheese.  Those two might be an interesting cupcake combination, but adding meat is a bit…gross?   X-treme AirHeads, also gross, but for a different reason.    [...]

On our recent Portland trip, we made a stop at JaCiva’s Bakery.  We tried the first of their cupcakes when we stumbled upon them at a Portland grocery store last year. We made it to the bakery just seconds before a bus from an assisted living center unloaded into the building, so I didn’t get [...]

There was a nice display outside… Most of the flavors were pretty usual, but they [...]

Back in May, we made a little side trip to Divine Bites on the way to Portland.  When we went  south again last month for VegFest, we stopped back in. I loaded up with a five pack of minis:  Butterfinger, The King’s Favorite, Nestle Crunch, Peanut Butter Dream, and Orange Cream. The Butterfinger was my favorite: a [...]

This was my first trip to Bellingham and I would love to go back.  The downtown area is extremely cute and it would have been nice to walk around and look in the other shops.  However, we were in a hurry.  Mrs Chen, the little Chens, and I were enroute to Vancouver, BC to meet [...]
