My travels sent me to
Saint Petersburg, FL before my final destination of Sarasota. I spent a couple
days in the company of my college friend Jeffrey, who wanted to join me in my
cupcake tasting fun.
We had lunch at the Taco Bus (amazing fish tacos. sorry, no
pics) and took a post-lunch walk around the cute neighboring area since Jeffrey
thought there was a nearby cupcake bakery. We happened to stumble upon a very
pink cake shop and saw cupcakes in the window. (The cupcake bakery suggested on
Yelp was actually closed down).

It’s Icing on the Cake is mainly an order fancy cakes bakery that also offers cake slices, cupcakes,
macarons and cake pops for walk-ins like Jeffrey and me. They had four
different cupcakes that day and we decided on a Champagne cupcake topped with a
vanilla buttercream frosting. The champagne flavor was supposed to make the
cake lighter and also less sweet.
Well, there’s really nothing spectacular to say to about
this cupcake. It was a lil dry and just an average, nothing special cupcake.
There were these pink balls on top of the cupcake that added a nice lil crunch
to it, kind of like rice krispies.
Regardless of a bad cupcake, it’s fun to introduce friends
to my silly cupcake hunt. Now in my new city, I already have a few leads on
cupcake bakeries, one being within walking distance of my lil beach house. Can
I brag? I live a block away from the beach. Amazing.

Oh Florida, how I’ve missed you. Palm trees, sandy beaches,
island flavored cocktails: love.
