I read an online review of these today and now I'm on an URGENT mission to find some in my area! I lurrrve ice cream cakes but due to the cost and the fact that there's never any room in my freezer, they have bene relegated to an occasional birthday treat. Since there are only three of us to have birthdays, the opportunities are few and far between, much too sparse for this ice-cream-cake-loving person. These little ice cream cupcakes are the perfect solution--I'm sure I can find room for them in the freezer and perhaps more importantly, I'm not tempted to eat a whole ice cream cake by myself! The nutrional info for the cupcakes isn't all that bad, either. Now I just have to find them!
And speaking of cupcakes, the other night a sweet friend had us over for dinner to celebrate my birthday and made the most delicious Boston Cream Pie cupcakes for dessert! The recipe came from this magazine, which I then had to run to Barnes & Noble to buy. Now, I need a Paula Deen chocolate recipe book like I need a hole in the head (seriously, I might as well just tape half the magazine to each thigh and try and put my pants on over the top) but the recipes in this magazine are uniformly drool-inducing. (Here's a link to a blog with the cupcake recipe in case you don't want to risk serious thigh-enlargement and buy the whole book.)
And now for a cupcake without any calories, look at this super-cute cupcake play food set I bought for Maren. It all comes in a darling satiny-and-sequiny cupcake tote and I think it would make a darling birthday present for a little girl. I say that I bought it for Maren, but who are we kidding--that sucker's for me!
I could be totally wrong, but it seems like I saw something like those cupcakes at Sam's. I'll check next time I'm there!
ReplyDeleteYou can find those cupcakes in the freezer section at Costco!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, you are HILarious. And, I think my girls JUST MUST have that cupcake toy. You must tell me where to buy one. It would be a perfect Christmas present.
ReplyDeleteI saw the frozen cupcakes at Sam's and they did look delicious! We had a lot of fun with you and your family. Hopefully, we can do it again soon!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Cupcakes...MMMMmmmmm. Paula Deen is pretty neat. I saw her in person while I was working at QVC...she is also very funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the B.C.P cupcakes...I'm copying and pasting it for my collection.

I was also going to say I saw them at Sam's. And they are delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe -taping the magazines to your thighs- bit cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteWish I could find those ice cream cupcakes, too! I buy the Italian Ice Cups and the popsicle swirl things for my kids from Wal-M*rt, especially because they're labeled 'peanut and dairy free' (for Carter's sake).
Those Boston Cream Pie cupcakes look awesome. Thanks for the recipe link. And, how cute is that Cupcake play set!
