Sweet Mandy B's

This is my post-spinning snack - a vanilla cupcake from Sweet Mandy B's which, in my non-humbled opinion, still ranks supreme vs. the LA based Sprinkles.  The cake is fluffy and generously covered in sugary frosting (the way frosting should be) =)

Pure Michigan

Raw Honey from American Spoon

I just returned from a sublime weekend away in Harbor Springs & Petoskey, Michigan with my three besties. For those not familiar with this picturesque, super-quaint community in the Lower Peninsula's northern tip, it is pure Americana with a setting that would have inspired Norman Rockwell for years.

When visiting, there are a handful of restaurants and stores that are must-visits including but not limited to: Cutler's for home goods, Robert Frost for all your winter footwear, Chandler's for lunch and dinner (you must go for both), Turkey's for their club sam at lunch, Tom's Mom's Cookies for the MOST enjoyable cookie in this lifetime and American Spoon for delicious preserves and jams.  I'm currently eating the honey by the spoonful =)
