Batter Batter Swing!

I never just "flip through the channels" on my television. I already have so many shows that I am faithfully committed to through my DVR, that I do not invest time into any other TV time. So it was very unlike me to go flipping, but it must have been fate or something because I found this wonderful show on TLC: "DC Cupcakes." Oh my goodness, I cannot begin to explain to you how wonderful it is! The store is in Washington, D.C., but DC to me stands for Delicous Cupcakes!

You may all know that I am obsessed with 1) Eating cakes and 2) Baking cakes. When I came across this television show, I saw pretty desserts with fabulous flavors and I could not take my eyes off of it. It was basically love at first sight. They have flavors like S'mores, Cinnamon and Banana Split! You cannot beat that!

The store is run by two sisters, Katherine and Sophie, who look nothing alike. They are fun to watch. Because they are sisters, they bicker back and forth, but it is in a pleasant way. They are always holding competitions between each other to see who can make the best cupcake or the best new flavor. They have new flavors coming out all the time! I really want to make a trip to DC just to get a cupcake. Sad sad. You can actually order cupcakes and have them shipped also.

It is a really cute store! It's got a black and pink theme. I'm not a huge pink person, but with cupcakes, it works! The sisters also wear pink aprons and pink rainboots, which I find odd but fascinating. They do not make cakes, but huge masterpieces out of cupcakes. They will make 6'0" tall statues and cover it with cupcakes in a grid sort of way. I am just fascinated. I have only watched about six or seven total episodes, but I am keeping an eye out for them to come on TV!
