Yum Alert: Spicy Southern Fried Chicken

I had to have them first! Although I still favor the originals, the
new chocolate dipped additions are welcome to the family. These perfectly paired gift
boxes are adorable and make great gift. Grab them at Baked By
Mellissa.

Baked by Mellisa Chocolate dipped cupcakes.

Girl loves some BBM. I was going to be classy and grab some macarons
from Laudree for the Andrea Bocelli concert in Central Park tonight.
Then came along this little Facebook post and all those aspirations
went right out the window. Hopefully, the rain will hold off and these
chocolate dipped minis will be even better than the original. Let this
be our pray. ;)

Can I have my cake & eat it too?

I am on a mission...Get it tight, get it right for this up coming summer season. Mini sequin shorts and tiny rompers are on the agenda, so the jiggle can not be.
Buttt....when I am out getting my Sunday coffee and want a little indulgence, I can rejoice! Cake pops are here.They are just enough to delight my sweet tooth without becoming heavy. Also, not that bad on the calories!!
They come in three flavors.
Birthday (170 cal) – Vanilla cake and icing, dipped in pink chocolate and fun white sprinkles.
Rocky Road (180 cal) – Chocolate cake and icing dipped in dark chocolate, rolled in mini marshmallows and roasted almonds.
Tiramisu (170 cal) – Vanilla cake and Starbucks® coffee icing, dipped in mocha chocolate and topped with a chocolate coffee bean.
(Thank you Starbucks.com for this information)

My favorite is the birthday cake, it's sweet...just like me ;) The coffee giant is also offer other assortments of lower calorie, tiny treats for your tasting..go check it out, if you haven't already.
