A few weeks ago, my old graduate school roommate Sara and I met up for a bit of shopping. The reason? I needed new running shoes and running gear so I could start training for a 5k I'm running in May.* After spending over an hour in the sporting goods store, we treated ourselves to more than one indulgence: lunch at Chipotle and dessert from Crumbs Bake Shop. A sort of last hurrah to crappy food I shouldn't be eating while training.
We took our lovely desserts and ate them while surrounded by a collection of works by Tom Sachs along Park Avenue. Sara opted for the Cappuccino Cupcake while I went for the Cookie Dough Cupcake.
Heaven. On. Earth.
So, in honor of Friday and in celebration of the end of what has turned out to be a long and stressful week for me, I'm going to ask:
Are you a fan of cupcakes as much as I am? If so, where do you go to indulge? Do you have recommendations for a must-try cupcake shop in New York (or anywhere else, for that matter)? Leave a comment here and let me know!
Sweet Friday Wishes to you all!
* I should probably officially register for the Run so I can start soliciting donations from family and friends... *wink*

Cupcake Cafe, huh? I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
PS. Thanks! :)
They have really good pumpkin cupcakes, but my personal favorites are the Sexy Red Velvet (I think this is the red velvet with the white icing) and Bob (yellow cake with a chocolate almond buttercream).
Who else is in? :)
Ooh... Buttercup Bake Shop! Good choice!
