Ben and I wanted to try one more place before deciding on where to get our anniversary cake. Today we tried two flavors of cupcakes from Oh What a Cake! in Columbia.
Coconut cake with pineapple mousse – It was good, but I don’t really like coconut. Ben loved this one though. He liked that the cake was mild and similar to pound cake. He also loves all things coconut.
Chocolate cake with cherry filling – We agreed that fruit filling with chocolate cake doesn’t work. The icing was good, but I want a darker chocolate in my desserts.
Dinner – After a day of tons of random snacking on too many carbs and junk (see below) I went with a salad for dinner. I need to remember that sugar only causes more sugar cravings in my life.
Monsoon! This afternoon it started pouring out of no where. It was crazy!!!
BLTs…
– cottage cheese w/ jelly and crackers
– SB protein bar
– apple
– cereals with milk
– granola cookie
– 1/2 piece of bread with AB
It was one of those days…

I’m the exact same way with sugar. Sugar just leads to more intense sugar cravings. A lot of times I can satisy the craving with something like trail mix or an apple with pb.

I love coconut, but pineapple, not so much. How fun that you guys are cake sampling for your anniversary cake!

I got caught in that freak storm yesterday walking back from Trader Joe’s! Good thing I randomly had an umbrella in my massive bag.
And while everyone else was grumbling about the rain, I was content because I had TJ’s treats in my bag. Totally worth getting a little wet over.

Those cupcakes look great! I want to try the coconut with the pineapple mousse — but I LOVE coconut!

Our 2 year anniversary is in July and I am really sad that it doesn’t involve cake like last year :(. However, I think I am going to follow your plan and just get one anyone (after as much taste testing as possible).

Cupcakes look delicious!! DC has some very amazing cupcake places. It helps me becuase I can enjoy cake within some sort of portion control.

I LOVE chocolate and cherry together – like in blackforest cake, so good.
Amanda says
Mmmm coconut! I hope you find a delicious anniversary cake!
Amber K says
Cupcakes are amazingly tasty. Although I can’t stand coconut. Blech!

Maybe im an airhead and I missed it, but you busted out some champagne a few days ago to celebrate…did we find out what it was for???
Ashley C says
I hope someone eats my anniversary cake so I can do another tasting and order another cake when I get married some day hehe. Is it sad that I’m looking more forward to cake tastings/picking out a cake than a dress??
Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) says
I’m not a coconut fan either but the pineapple mousse sounds bomb. YUM!
I love getting cupcakes. I think it’s a good way to sample what kind of cake you guys want to get for the anniversary! I love fruit-filled white cakes over chocolate.
Jenny says
I am obsessed with coconut, too! I would eat that cupcake in a heartbeat!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Wow both of the cupcakes look to die for… chocolate cake with cherry filling sounds good to me, but maybe I’d have to try it to prove it doesn’t work!
