Cupcakes Voila!

A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine celebrated her birthday, and what a fabulous shindig it was! She invited about 20 of her closest friends to join her and her husband for dinner in the upstairs room at one of my current fav foodie stops, Extra Virgin. While the cocktails flowed and the food was (as usual) simply delicious, one of the highlights of the night was a gift from our friend Haley. Haley, among her many other talents, is a very talented baker, and recently created her own cupcake company, “Cupcakes Voila.” While her business continues to grow, her clientele base seems to be composed mainly of her friends and family. And how lucky we are, because the cupcakes are yummmm-y! I’ve sampled her sweet treats at recent bridal showers and birthday parties, and have to say that my favorite flavor so far is the lemon cupcake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. Delish!  (Don’t let me fool you—I tend not to discriminate regarding my desserts, and I’ve tried all of Haley’s flavors. Red velvet with creamcheese frosting is also pretty tasty.) Part of Haley’s gift to our friend was a dozen Oreo cupcakes. The birthday girl graciously allowed us to open her gift for her and enjoy sampling of her mini-cakes to top off our scrumptious supper. Lucky us!
