Cup Cake Chronicles

So, after eight weeks of patiently listening to the voice in my head telling me not to go crazy over some high-priced cupcakes, I finally relented and gave in big time! Kara's Cup Cakes Van was parked enticingly outside my office where it was hard to miss even if one was trying to ignore it. At a ridiculous $3/cup cake, this van could still boast of having the longest line of customers on the whole campus.

My friend VJ and I stood in line for about ten minutes, each of us giving ourselves the time to think this big decision through and turn back(read: run back) if good sense kicked in. Apparently, the stomach rules and calls the shots! The folks ahead of us in line were handing out cash to the cashier. A small sliver of hope soared in my heart....I may not be able to buy this calorie-rich goodness after all! But the angelic cashier(angelic because she held in her palm the most delicious cup cake of all - chocolate on chocolate) smiled and swiped my card.

If I was fretting about eating one cup cake before, I had three more to worry about now. Yes, I bought four cup cakes in all. Oh! What extravagance in the name of a sweet savory!

VJ, in all her sweetness, took pictures of these expensive delights to post of Facebook. I have promised to "like" them on Facebook too.

What remains to be seen is if I can stop staring at these baked marvels and finally take a satisfied bite! Yum!
