Georgetown Cupcake - Easter 2012

For pretty much every holiday, Geogetown Cupcake makes super cute themed cupcakes, and this Easter was no exception. 

On the left is the chocolate version of this year's Easter cupcake.  The chocolate (or vanilla) cupcakes are topped with green vanilla "grass" frosting and a fondant egg or rabbit.  Over on the right is Easter Sunday's free off-the-menu cupcake of the day, called the Easter Celebration cupcake.  It was a caramel cake with light pink vanilla frosting and a fondant egg.  Both were super festive and a sweet way to celebrate spring and Easter!

Jersey-bound!

Tout de Sweet - Earl Grey Macaron

 

Another new (to me) macaron flavor from Tout de Sweet, woo!  The Earl Grey macaron caught my eye immediately - I love tea flavored foods so this was a no-brainer.  Of course I also had to pick up my favorite, their vanilla macaron as well.

The Earl Grey macaron had a lovely tea scent and I knew I would love it even before I bit into it, haha.  The purple color sort of threw me off but taste-wise this was a fantastic tea version of a macaron.  I would absolutely get this macaron again!
