National Chocolate Cupcake Day and Why I Love Cupcakes

Pin It Now! Yesterday was National Chocolate Cupcake Day.  Did I have a cupcake to celebrate?  You betcha!  My favorite local cupcakery is just a hop, skip and a jump away from my office, so there really was no excuse not to.
(Forgive the poor quality of the first few pics.  All but one were taken on my phone.)

Everybody loves a cupcake, right?  Right.  Well, cupcakes hold a very special place in my heart.  On August 15, 2010, the love of my life got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.  Over a box of cupcakes.  Nestled among the treats stood a ring box disguised as a cupcake.  Adorable, right?!  I know.  One of the many things I love about him is his creativity.

When it came time to plan our wedding, having cupcakes as our dessert was the obvious choice.  We of course chose Crushcakes!  They were a huge hit and everyone loved the tie-in to our proposal story.

So even though National Cupcake Day 2011 has past, why not enjoy a cupcake today?  Or tomorrow?  Any day is cupcake day in my book.  Cheers!
