Cupcakery vs Bakery

It's definitely no secret around here, but I loooove to bake. Most of the time I don't even eat what I bake, I just really enjoy the process. One day, when I have alot more time and money than I do now, I hope to open a bakery. Seriously, it would be a dream to work doing what you absolutely love every single day. Not that I don't love accounting...but it's a different type of love :)

Last weekend Jonathan, Mac and I ventured off to Virginia Beach to visit my family. We are horrible children, and it had been awhile since we had been. Well, I had already found a website for this "cupcakery" called Just Cupcakes that I just had to go to. Not only did I want to have a cupcake (taking a break from the dieting for the weekend!), but I also wanted to see how they had it decorated. Let's just say it was ADORABLE! I loved the quaint little boutique feeling, not to mention they had owls everywhere...umm hellooo?!? Two of my favorite things! Cupcakes and owls! Here are some pics of the cute place:











The cupcakes were pretty good, but probably not worth the amount we paid for each one...yikes! I don't know if any cupcake is worth $3! Anyway, after we left, my Dad wanted to take us to a different type of bakery that served more than just cupcakes. This one was called Sugar Plum Bakery. It was so cute! And when we walked in, you could smell the buttercream icing used on like...everything! They had cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pastries. You name it, they had it! I can't tell you how it tasted, since I had JUST eaten a cupcake, but I can tell you that my dad ate his bearclaw like it was going out of style :)













After our two stops, we all decided that the bakery had so much more to offer, and if one day I do get to open my own place, it should be a full on bakery instead of just a cupcakery. But then again, the whole bakery thing is mainly just a dream of mine right now anyway :)

PS: For those wondering about my weight loss, I've actually lost about 13 pounds so far :) Well on my way to the 20 I wanted to lose!!! Yay!!!
