The Hummingbird Cupcake

The Statue of Liberty carries her torch for freedom, and today I carry mine for a satisfied sweet tooth.

I didn’t have watermelon or corn on the cob this 4th of July. I did have a burger from Atlas Foods, because although we can grill at home, let’s face it – if you want fries with a burger, who’s going make them at home on a hot day?

Afterwards, my sugar craving took my mind captive and encouraged me to find some dessert. Plus let’s not deny it, the 4th is a time for summer treats.

This was my first time enjoying a cupcake from Trophy Cupcakes, and I was amazed at the quality. Then again, it was a $3 cupcake, and when little cakes cost that much, they better be above average! The Hummingbird, a "Banana Pineapple Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting" was a really good choice for a hot Seattle day. OK, I’ll admit that I chose the Red Velvet but it was a little heavy compared to the tropical flavors of Mike’s Hummingbird selection. Yum.
