I apologize for going M.I.A. recently, but life has been quite hectic. Today, I officially became a senior, and I leave for New York and my internship with More magazine in the coming months.
Even though it's been mayhem lately, I still found time to go to Yum Cupcakery. The confectionary of sweet delights opened last week and is located at 3345 SW 34th St in the same shopping center as Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
Twin sisters Stephanie and Claire Browning, 23, have dreamed of opening a cupcakery since they were children. Inspired by their mother, they mix and match fun and funky combinations exactly to your specifications.
For $2.50 choose from vegan, raw, light and regular cupcakes. A cupcake isn't complete without the extras so choose a flavor, pick an icing, a filling and don't forget a topping. They have any flavor combination you could ever imagine, seriously.

While I was there, I snagged three different kinds for some friends to try, too.
The first was a red velvet cupcake with a jasmine filling, cream cheese frosting and small, edible silver balls. The second was a lemon cupcake with a honeydew filling, papaya frosting and candied lime pieces. The taste was refreshing yet full of flavor. A little on the wild side, it was definitely worth being adventurous. The last cupcake was a classic chocolate base with a peanut butter filling, peanut butter frosting and Reese's pieces on top. The cake was moist and had the perfect amount of chocolatey goodness. Stephanie says this is one of their most popular selling flavors.

Want a cupcake but are too lazy to leave the house? Just call and they'll deliver! I wanted to try one of their vegan cupcakes, but they were sold out. Guess that just means I will have to go back. Delicious cupcakes? Shucks.
