This was the start of a lapse in my super healthy eating habits.  It happened mid-December when I bought myself a cupcake.

I couldn't resist the flavor name - Eggnog.  Intriguing. 

I actually ate it the next morning as part of my breakfast, and it was delicious!  Probably should mention I usually do not like cupcakes/cakes/cookies from bakeries.  There is actually only one that I ever order, and it is the red velvet from Astoria Bakery.  The only other cupcakes I really like I admittedly stalk at the school bazaar - just waiting for the specific box to be delivered. (happily I got her recipe)

I ended up ordering for our Christmas party instead of baking myself.  It was nice to take a break from baking, and be less stressed with all the preparations a party brings.

The cupcakes are made by Melissa Battani of 

The Little Mitten 

"a quirky cupcake company" 

She has a space in The Rust Belt Market in Ferndale.  Her cupcakes did not disappoint, and our friends had fun taste testing :)  There were lots of mini cupcakes cut into halves and quarters around the tables.

I snapped some photo's of each to make a flavors sign.

Take a look below to see the imaginative flavors.
