On Sunday, we went to a Labor Day / Housewarming party at Tommy’s aunt’s house. Since the ride to their house cuts right Princeton, NJ, we were able to stop by the House of Cupcakes. I’ve wanted to go to House of Cupcakes since I saw it on Cupcake Wars on the Food Network.
We got there right when they were opening, so not all the cupckaes had been put out on the shelf yet. The only one that I wanted to get that wasn’t out on the shelf was a peanut butter one, which got brought out when I was walking out the door.
I felt overwhelmed by all the different flavors staring back at me. I really wanted to try one of each, but that would have been a little much.
I was very pleased with my choices.
I got Red Velvet, Oreo, Boston Cream, Carrot Cake, Cappuccino and Vanilla Riot. I can honestly say that these were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. The cake was moist and fluffy, the perfect texture and the frostings were sweet, but not too sweet. If you’re ever in the Princeton area stop at the House of Cupcakes. It is most definitely worth the trip.
We had a blast at the party. There was really more food than we knew what to do with. I loved that before the hot food was served, Tommy’s aunt ordered a huge spread of sushi from a local place in their area. It was delicious to snack on the sushi throughout the day.
All of the food was amazing, she really outdid herself. I’m also completely in love with their kitchen. I seriously dream of a kitchen like that at night.
After eating, the fun part of the party started. Pool time!
Munchkin had a blast in the pool. He is getting braver and braver in the water and even floated around kicking his feet with us only holding his hands.
We got home after 11PM exhausted after a long day filled with lots of fun.
On Monday, we slept in a little before heading out to the local mall. I accidentally sat on Tommy’s glasses and he had to get them adjusted. In my own defense, he left the on the bed!
While at the mall, I tried on a pair of Toms and I think I want to buy a pair for the fall. I also got two book thats I’ve wanted to read for a while for pennies at Borders. I’m currently reading Room as part of PB Finger’s book club, but I picked up In Defense of Food and The End of Overeating. I can’t wait to read both!
We grabbed lunch/dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back to New York. Tommy’s brother won six free wings a week for a year, so we took advantage of his winnings.
I got a salad as my entree and it was only okay. I think the only good thing at Buffalo Wild Wings are the wings themselves. All of the other thing we’ve tried from there are just okay.
The drive home wasn’t too bad with only a little bit of traffic. I was so tired after the weekend, that I fell asleep around 9PM in my clothes with Munchkin. I guess my body needed to catch up on sleep, since there wasn’t much of it this weekend.
I also made a peach apple cobbler yesterday. It’s really good. I’ll be sharing my recipe tomorrow! Have a great Wednesday!
What’s the best baked good you’ve ever tried?
