Review: Slatkin & Co. Frosted Cupcake Candle Location: Bath & Body Works (in stores or online) Cost: $19.95 Score: 5
The new 'Frosted Cupcake' candle from Slatkin & Co, a subsidiary of Bath and Body Works, debuted this March in stores and online. I was excited when I first heard about the candle on Twitter from @LuvBBW. After contacting Slatkin & Co. for a sample, I was also able to score some extras for my readers!
As soon as I got the candle in the mail I burned the 20 hour candle for about three hours. The three-wick, 14.5 ounces beauty gave off a freshly baked cupcake scent with hints of strawberry. The candle burned evenly and left a serene feeling in my home, as opposed to the overly sweet smell that I had anticipated. As a true candle lover and frequent candle purchaser, I deemed the price tag of $19.95 as more than fair. If you are a true Cupcake Lover, you won't be disappointed. Buy yours today!

I never disappoint my Cupcake Lovers and after posting to
Facebook on Tuesday, March 12, 2012 that ‘the word on the street was…’ DC is
getting a cupcake ATM, both the Washington Business Journal and The Washington Post
confirmed the scuttlebutt rumor with Sprinkles’ spokespeople. Cupcake automats are
slated to be in Gallery Place, Columbia Heights and U Street to name a few. But
what say you Cupcake Lovers?
Happy Poultry Day!!

Today is 'Poultry Day' and although no one recognizes these ubiquitous food holidays other than restaurants, food bloggers and foodies, I must thank the person who decided to top a cupcake with a chicken wing! What else would I have shown you all to celebrate? Ordinarily I would chock this off as a blatant case of cupcake abuse but c'mon, lighten up and eat the cake Anna Mae...it's poultry day!!

New Additions to the Cupcake Vodka Family
Cupcake Vodkaintroduces two new flavorsto their roster: Ginger Snap and Very Berry. Ginger
snap is to have hints of cinnamon and clove while Very Berry denotes hints of
raspberry and blueberry but both are described as clean, indulgent and velvety
smooth. These flavors will be in addition to the existing four flavors:
frosting, devil’s food, chiffon and original. I'm still getting word on which bars carry these flavors however, you can find the vodkas at your local liquor store.
