I stumbled across this blog the other day with an interesting title, Dudes With Beards Eating Cupcakes.

And the title of the website says it all, its photos of dudes with beards eating cupcakes. I love cupcakes and I love dudes with beards so this is perfect for me.

Here are a few of my favorites … Check out the websites and maybe you will find a hunky man enjoying a luscious cupcake.

I left the lovely Island of Martha’s Vineyard this weekend and went on an adventure to New Hampshire to visit my family and friends.

There is a little Cupcake Shop a few miles away from where the Ferry unloads, Cupcapes of Falmouth. I’ve driven by many times and never stopped and this time I did.

I walked in and immediately fell in love the the place. I wish I had taken more pictures but I didn’t get the chance.

They had a lovely display case of cupcakes right when you walk in. They also had cute tables set up, cupcake art on the wall, along with funny T-shirts to boot! There was also the cutest cupcake ornaments hanging on the wall.

I chose the Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake ! I couldn’t resist the looks of it. My favorite thing about the look of the cupcakes was the the liner that they were put it. So cute, adds so much character. And it was even put in the CUTEST cupcake box. And the lady who helped me was very nice and inviting as well. They also use all organic ingredients!

Anyone who lives in the area should definitely try and make a trip to indulge in these cupcakes! Very much worth it.

Being there gave me lots of inspiration for my own cupcake adventures! It also made the 3 hours drive back to New Hampshire much more enjoyable.

I tried to wait aslong as I could to eat the cupcake because I wanted to get proper pictures of the Cupcake and the box, that didnt last long. The delicious smell of the Raspberry and Chocolate just over took my car. And I am glad I didn’t wait because it was so worth it! The frosting was perfect and the raspberry and chunk of chocolate were da’ bomb. It cake was so moist and perfect. I enjoyed this cupcake as much as i did because it was something along the lines that I would make!

With the domination of mini cakes popping up all over the world the word Cupcake has taken on a persona all its own.

I am watching one of my favorite shows and I have heard them use the ‘Cupcake’ at least twice in the past 20 minutes. And in the same episode they gave a little girl an Easy Bake Oven!

With this being a sort of slang I have taken it upon myself to look up the definition on the most popular Slang Dictionary,  UrbanDictionary.com.

Cupcake; …from outward appearance you would assume they are tough, but on the inside they are soft.
…can be very sweet….is the perfect size, just the right amount of everything….is also cute yet delicious….people are always in the mood to hang out with them, just like people are always in the mood to have cupcakes…people never get sick of.

Cupcake; someone you’re emotionally romantically involved with

Here is also a definition of it from Wikitonary.com

Cupcake!
