Dayumm, why is the first sentence of a new blog you write always the hardest? I swear I just wrote five different opening sentences, consequently deleted them and then got very frustrated! What I am trying to tell you, dear readers, is that I LOVE CUPCAKES! So much so that yesterday just before lunch I was really starting to crave a cupcake. Conveniently, there is a store located not too far away from both my work and home that specializes in none other than cupcakes! Yes, an entire store devoted to the production and sales of cupcakes. Pure genius, I say! Also very convenient is the name - Crave.
Who wouldn’t crave a cupcake from Crave? (You know when you type or say a word too much in a short time span and it seems to lose it’s meaning? That just happened with crave.) Well, I couldn’t get there for lunch, as I have been going home for lunch everyday because Tim has been working 3pm-12am everyday this week. Let’s do some math - if Leah works 8am-4pm and goes to bed at 10:45pm, and Tim works from 3pm-12am and gets up at 9:00am, how much time do they get to spend together? You got it kiddies - NONE! Unless Leah comes home for lunch between 12pm and 1pm, then they get 30 minutes because it takes 15 minutes to walk each way. Anyways, what I am trying to tell you is that I didn’t go to Crave to get a cupcake for lunch because I went home and visited Tim for half an hour. Although, that didn’t stop me from going AFTER work!
I got there right about 10 minutes before they were closing, and they happened to be getting rid of the days leftovers. They may have noticed me eyeing those puppies up, or else out of the very kindness of their pink frosted hearts they gave them to me! For free! I was so happy, but I swear I must have looked like the biggest oinker when I was walking home with 18 cupcakes. I didn’t even have an excuse. I bought 6 for Tim and I to put in the freezer, and they gave me 12 more mini ones. (More math time - If Leah buys 6 cupcakes and received 12 mini-cupcakes free, and then takes them home to her gluttonous household of two lonely souls, after 24 hours how many cupcakes are left? If you think I’m telling you, you are crazy. This was a rhetorical math question. Do those exist?)

Those look so yummy!
“Dauymm” haha best way to start a blog!
You and Tim’s hours this week = welcome to my life. That’s cool though, next year when we are both living in Toronto *hint* we won’t mind them having these hours.. actually we will prefer it.
I think the original cupcakes store is in Vancouver, at least I think it’s the original because it’s called Cupcakes which seems like the best name for a cupcake restaurant to me. And I think I read it somewhere. Sooo good.

those look darling! There’s a wicked cupcake store around here too. But I’m not big on frosting, so the cake part is where I make my judgements. Sure can’t beat how pretty they are though!
Holy hades those things are like crack. They have them at the Farmer’s Market as well…though…not sure if those are Crave come to think if it.
Anyway…my BF got those for her wedding from the Kensington store (again…pretty sure that is Crave…right? Right?) a few years ago and it rocked. SO yummy.
