sugar coma on cupcakes
After I finished my 12 day detox cleanse, I haven't really gone back to the way I'd eaten before it. This is a good thing. I haven't had any real flour products; don't miss bread and crackers as I thought I would. I'm doing quite fine with the brown rice, which is surprisingly yum. Although I did go crazy on sugar. Uh oh. Sugar. Bad, bad, sugar. Including a flour and sugar product -- cupcakes.
What can a girl do? Cupcakes are delightful, and encased in little packages of sweetness that hide its sinfulness. You know what I mean. Sigh. A dozen cupcakes. Yup. A mixture of Vanilla Bean Buttercream; Matcha Buttercream with Chocolate Cake; Lemon Buttercream with vanilla cake and raspberry jam; Chocolate Buttercream; and Creamcheese Buttercream on Lemon Coconut cake. Yes, I began with the latter (as seen in photo).
Now I'm off to distribute the cupcakes because if I don't, they will all end up in my belly and that would be disasterous. Trust me, Lyndsay's Coco Cake Cupcakes are a billion times better than Cupcakes, Magnolia's (although I heart their banana cream pudding) or Cake Love's. Not too sweet, not too dense or flour-y. The frosting is light, rich with true flavours of Madagascar vanilla bean and Scharffen Berger chocolate. The goood stuff my tastebuds tell me.
I'm scarfing down cups of green tea to flush out the sugar lest I end up in a sugar coma.
