Cupcake Mitts & Mittens
I was surfing today and found some cupcake mitts and mittens that I just had to share. I know most of the world is welcoming spring, but we just got 3 feet of new snow at Lake Tahoe so we are welcoming the mittens!

Retro Bakery (Las Vegas)
One of my goals while I was in Las Vegas last week was to visit the Retro Bakery. I had been following them on Twitter and had seen postings about them on the Cupcakes Take the Cake blog. Their slogan "It's All About the Buttercream" made me even more curious to visit.
I rented a car at the airport and started driving using the rental car map. A GPS really would have helped. A little over an hour later I arrived at the bakery. It turned out to be about 15 minutes from where I started...except I had chosen the longest possible route. I was really ready to try a cupcake!
The bakery staff was very helpful and there was another customer in the shop who was having a wedding cake consultation. They don't just do cupcakes. I bought two cupcakes - a red velvet with cream cheese icing and a lemon cupcake with pink buttercream and sugar sprinkles. The cakes were moist and tasty. The cream cheese icing was very smooth & sweet but needed more cream cheese (you know how I feel about cream cheese icing). The buttercream was also smooth and sweet. I am not a fan of sugar decorations because I don't like the "crunch" but it was a very pretty presentation.

Bette Midler & Cupcakes!
I went to see Bette Midler in Las Vegas Wednesday night and what a fantastic show! If you have the opportunity I highly recommend it. While I was there I visited three cupcake bakeries and will be reviewing them over the next several days. Stay tuned!

This week I will be featuring all things related to Halloween cupcakes. I thought I would kick off Halloween Week with a cupcake from Retro Bakery in Las Vegas.
