JENNIFER, hi fellow TWDer! Thanks so much for all your sweet compliments! I’ll definitely keep Swirlz on my list of cupcakeries to visit on my next trip to Chicago on your rec. I would love to hear more about their ingenius frosting method. Do you have the inside scoop? ;) Don’t you love homemade vanilla extract? I am totally in love ♥

We’ve been perusing your web site and are totally inspired by your many cupcake experiments! Next time you are in Chicago, you may want to check out Swirlz. Very yummy flavors AND an ingenious frosting method that keeps you from making too much of a mess.

Keep up the great work on your blog. By the way, we’ve also made our own vanilla extract!

Ok now that I’ve read all the comments.

Less is not more … more is more .. and how many times am i going to have that many sprinkle options calling my name?

ON – yes I did get ON her cuppy and while the other ones were super smooshed I realized that if I let it do it’s initial smoosh I could “manhandle” (thanks for throwing me under the bus CB) the cuppy all I wanted and it was going to stay right where it was. It’s call frosting glue and I used it. ON had enough frosting left on top AND she had some for dipping later :P

First of all, very cute review. Second of all, if you beeches wanted a swing, come kick my scrawny arse out of one. LOL I would have shared! You were all too busy perfecting your cuppy decor while I was enjoying a swing. Priorities beeches, priorities.
Sarah seriously looks scary in that grill pic. LOL And I still think Nikki’s cuppy looked…uh…well, let’s just say maybe she has never heard “less is more”. HA!
