Hey Love Designs - Blair Waldorf Notecards

Some of you may recall my "Mean Girls" notecards from Hey Love Designs that I got last year - it was only a matter of time before I'd order a new set of fun cards, haha.  

This time I ordered Gossip Girl-themed cards in tribute to the fabulous Miss Blair Waldorf. I loved Blair's character on the show, and I totally could see Blair giving these cards to her minions, haha.  Again, I will probably have a problem actually using up too many of these cards, because they are so so cute!

Sprinkles - S'more Cupcake

 

On my last visit to Georgetown, I picked up a January S'more cupcake from Sprinkles thanks to a free cupcake coupon via Facebook, woo!

The S'more cupcake is "officially" the S'more by Blake Lively, aka Busty McMiniskirt on Gossip Girl.  The S'more is a graham cracker-lined Belgian dark chocolate cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache and topped with toasted marshmallow frosting, and is available through February 2nd.

This cupcake is a really delicious rendition of a s'more and I'm really glad I tried it.  The marshmallow frosting was a little messy but totally worth it.  And the graham cracker lining with the really rich dark chocolate cake was a fantastic combination.  Any fans of s'mores will love this cupcake!!
