So yeah it's been a while....but helloooooo Frog Cupcake

Lifes like that.  

So I was in Office Depot the other day... buying some paper / cardstock for a work project and that song came on. LOUD... like Club Loud in the Office Supply store... seriously why'd you have to go and make things so complicated Office Max/Office Depot... pick a name... stick with it....

Anyways...

SO the big really big excitement is that we went to NY... Went to La Delice and procured a frog cupcake.  It came after a walk up the Bowery so lament the loss of alot of things... CBGBS, 190 Bowery (we got some decent pictures of the graffiti before it goes away...like this one) (and sorry if in advance the picture size is huge... this is posting from email and not the app or site):  

​ We then made our way over to La Delice....

We took our cupcake to the Museum of Moving Image and saw the Mad Men exhibit... I wonder if they had frog cupcakes back then?  In the Mad Men times... we walked in and the gaurd asked us if our bag contained any food items.  I honestly could say no... as I don't consider a frog cupcake actually food... he looked as us like I know the truth... our frog cupcake was safe.  

Then went up to Central Park and .....

 Oila!  Cupcake is out .... 

Not quite as I remembered from King Soopers here in Colorado but the feel was the same... it was a nice little sugar rush...we ate the cupcake almost all the way.... I will say that the cake was a little dry and crumbled so I would and will probably up the ante should I ever make them. 

And that plan is in the works actually to make them... it's really not all that complicated... good sturdy but definitely moist cupcake.... high hat style butter cream, high sugar based green frosting, maybe yes a little red gel for a tongue decor... and we would be in business......see Avril....?  

Thanks La Delice for keeping these on point and having them .... it was a nice nice childhood touchpoint.
