What's black and white and happy all over?
Two and a half years ago I left New York for Raleigh, carrying a nostalgia for all things sweet, 2 1/2" round and buttercream-topped. My best friend and I would march across town (a feat that we would seldom brave even for a new bar) to sample our favorite cupcake flavors at Sugar Sweet Sunshine. I took my mother, sister, first dates & long-distance visitors there yearly without fail. And while they still ARE the best cupcakes I've found in NYC, the Cupcake Shoppe Bakery in Raleigh (and most specifically the Oreo Cookie Monster cupcake) proved a wonderful newcomer to my list of faves.

Wilmington: the world's most cupcake-friendly city ever
Screw the Magnolia obsession in New York... this city got down and dirty and hand-stitched a cupcake onto a construction fence to proclaim its feelings.

My Gail Simmons moment
Recently, I was in NYC for the Stationery Show, where my friend Emily and I were busy scouting out the cutest, sweetest things in world of paper goods.
It was no wonder, then, that this sweet-scouting parlayed into our downtime in the form of a Cupcake-Off. The two contenders: Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Billy's Bakery.
Once we all dissected the icing-to-cake ratio & cake-moistness levels as compared to sweetness, we had a hands-down winner, and Billy's had to pack his knives and go.

A brief moment of blatent friend promotion
It's one thing to hear your best friend say that she wants to write a book. And wants to get it published. But it's another thing to actually hold this living thing in your hand and see that it is real. And this time, it was for real in BookPeople in Austin. Cupcakes to celebrate followed immediately afterward.
