Michigan Cupcakes

I didn’t get to go to as many bakeries as I wanted to {namely, all of them}, but I did stop by the two most popular cupcake haunts in Michigan — Just Baked and The Cupcake Station.

I wish I had saved Just Baked for after dinner because their cupcakes were pretty good-sized [...]

Friday Faves: Michigan Editigan {read: Michigan Edish-igan}

Sorry about the tacky headline; I couldn’t resist! I also must apologize about the lack of posts this month. July has been crazy for me — Stan & I moved, I started an online class, then we went to Michigan to visit two really good friends, Ben & Marcus. Here are some highlights [...]
