HOUNDING FOR A CUPCAKE

During the holiday season we attended a fabulous party where I tasted fine wine, fine cuisine and fabulously decadent cupcakes.

The maker was gracious and shared her secrets and I FINALLY got around to whirling eggs and other fine ingredients together and guess what?

Cupcakes that had my mutt in the kitchen, begging.

Wait, she always does that, even when I'm making salad.

No matter, I knew success had been achieved when B blew into town, nabbed one and declared they were divine...on the scale of those delectable mini-cakes-in-a-paper-cup from Buttercream in Miami.

Now, my Cavi-Girl? She didn't realize we pulled a fast one on her fluffy paws and gave her a nibble of sweet potato treat instead of cupcake.

So, here's to fine wine and fine cupcakes. A perfect storm.
