I could not let this day pass without mentioning it is NATIONAL CUPCAKE DAY! Come on! Best day ever! So, I would like dedicate a post to my favorite cupcake bakeries of all time. Without them.. I would be cupcakeless or basically eating muffins. In no particular order here are the best cupcake bakeries I have been to in the United States.

It is such an honor for a bakery to make the Cupcake Cup as my opinions are so very important.. I had to laugh at that.



I am always on the hunt for a new and uber delicious cupcake. Each time I visit a city I try out all the cupcake bakeries I can before my host gets sick of driving me around for little bites of heaven. Anne and I even did a Cupcakes Across America tour. In honor of National Cupcake Day I leave you with words of wisdom and serenity.

I have been writing some heavy blogs lately. So I decided to lighten up my page with a topic I can talk about for hours and hours without even growing weary of the subject. CUPCAKES. Yes. Oh how I love cupcakes. I compare my cupcake obsession to schizophrenia. The onset of symptoms of schizophrenia begin in adolescence and then grow steadily to full blown mania in adulthood. Same thing with my cupcake preoccupation. I am obsessed with CUPCAKES.. Obsessed. Whenever I go to a city I do not look into the club scene, I look into the cupcake culture! I have no problems paying upwards of $3 to $4 for a cupcake, but I will be damned if I get all gussied up, stand in line, listen to lame music, and pay $5 to $7 for a Jack and Coke when I pour them expertly at home. But I digress. My latest trip to Nashville produced the little cupcake gem called Gigi's Cupcakes. I drove around for damn near an hour lost as hell to find this place but like Odysseus, I finally found my way home. Gigi's Cupcakes is a haven for cupcake lovers in Nashville.
