Famous Cupcakes

Today after work they were screening Animal House at 7:30, they have their own little theater in the building and it is pretty nice but that it not the topic of my post.

I had an hour-ish to kill and so me and my other intern friend walked over to Beverly Drive where they have a bunch of little restaurants and stores and such, really cute, really expensive, and the same Beverly Drive which I cursed just 2 days ago for almost preventing me from being able to eat Chipotle. Well I walked there today so no parking issues, Beverly Drive, we may be friends yet.

So we went to CPK and I got a salad which I had been craaavvvvinnggg like crazy for like a week and then we decided that we needed to try Famous Cupcakes which was across the street.

Famous Cupcakes? I had never heard of them. Intern friend had never heard of them? How are they famous? Why are they famous? We had 10 minutes, and a hankering for dessert so it was time to investigate this little bakery's claims.

The man at the counter greeted us, and he asked if we had been there before, we assured him we had not and so he gave us the breakdown on what was up with each of the cupcake offerings. I went with the Cookies & Creme cupcake which he had explained was the second most popular behind their red velvet, intern friend chose to pick up a Hot Chocolate cupcake which featured a vanilla icing. We didn't have time to eat our cupcakes which I was fine with so we zipped on back to the office for the screening.

The former President of Production for Universal (circa the 1970s) introduced the film and discussed the problems they had with getting the movie made. I always love those stories, I love hearing about films and studios fighting them and then they are big hits, Cinderella stories.

The movie was great, I had never seen it before. Plus not that many people went so it couldn't hurt that I did attend.

When I got home however it was cupcake time...

The cupcake was packaged in it's own little box. A promising start.

YAY! Look at my cupcake! OH NOES! I banged it around in my purse and some of the frosting got smooshed! Oh well, the taste is what is most important...

Okay here we go...

Cookie is a win.

Pirates like cupcakes? Yeah I don't know what this is about either...

Om nom nom nom

WIN, it's tastey!

Overall the cupcake was quite delicious however, there are lots of other desserts that I would rather enjoy so while I like my cupcake, I definitely don't need to purchase another one.

On an unrelated note I feel like I walked A LOT today. My feet have some really gnarly blisters on them which should be fun to deal with tomorrow...
