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)
Writing about the PieBox carriers made me remember that I wanted to share this great new cupcake find with you.
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.

mmm! I love a good cupcake - my fave are the carrot ones with cream cheese icing at Magnolia Bakery at the Bloomingdales here. The eggnog sounds intriguing!
