Well, I finally visited The Sweet Tooth Fairy and it was SO yummy! I was not disappointed. For my first trip I got the Double Fudge Cupcake. The frosting was rich and everything I wanted in frosting, and the cake was sweet and moist. It was the perfect thing for a chocolate attack!
I'm excited to visit again!
Funnily enough our ward gave out cookies from STF on Mother's Day (I think they were the sugar cookie w/coconut frosting), they were SO good and I didn't hear ANY complaints!
My adventures in bakery and dessert shop-hopping and finding the best sweets I can find!

I went to the Cocoa Bean for a 4th time with my niece last week, it was our last hurrah for the summer since we moved out of my in-laws house, and they're still there until their house is finished. I'm gonna miss my chat time with her, it was fun hearing about her friends and relating to some of her teenager situations.
As per my usual, I got the cocoa bean cocoa frappe (delicious as always) and 6 cupcakes (which I cut up and shared, I'm not a piggy!)
Better Than Whatever, Death By Chocolate, Vanilla Vanilla
Grasshopper, Butterfinger, Snickerdoodle

The Better Than Whatever has chocolate cake with sweetened condensed milk under the vanilla buttercream frosting and Heath bar crumbles on top. It was very moist and VERY sweet.
The Death By Chocolate confused me. I thought there'd be more to it than just chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, it was good, but I was a little disappointed there wasn't ganache or chocolate chips or something in it.
The Vanilla and Grasshopper I've already posted about, so I'll skip them.
The Butterfinger was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and Butterfinger crumbles on top. You'd think that wouldn't give it enough Butterfinger flavor, but it did, it was yummy.
The Snickerdoodle had a cinnamon/vanilla cake with frosting reminiscent of the Mexican Chocolate cupcake (only it was vanilla and cinnamon), and reminded me very much of it's name-sake cookie.
There are a few more flavors I'd love to try, but I probably won't be able to visit again for a while, so until then I'll have to find another place to frequent (which shouldn't be too hard!).

Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe
Last week I went to the Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe in Provo with my lovely friend and our daughters. It was a cute, modern little shop, with plenty of choices for drinks, and a good selection of cupcakes. They even make drinks with cocoa beans like coffee joints do with coffee beans. I got a cocoa bean cocoa latte (I think that's what it was called?) It was a cold, yummy chocolate drink with really good cocoa flavor, I've been wanting another one ever since, maybe even in a different flavor (they have lots, and it was better than chocolate milk). To go with my tasty drink I had a Love Potion cupcake. When I asked what was in it, they had me at 'ganache', I love GANACHE! It's a chocolate cupcake with cream filling, ganache on top with strawberry frosting. SO tasty. I'm planning on going back to this yummy spot, hopefully sooner than later.
If you've been there, let me know how you liked it and what you got!
