Remember last summer when we went on Vacation to George Town? We took that cupcake tour, and stopped in at that little bakery…“Sprinkles”…and my life was forever changed! Yep… by ONE little EPIC mouth-watering Dark Chocolate Cup Cake with real chocolate sprinkles! (Hey…it doesn’t take much for a complete life changing experience in my overwhelmingly exciting life!)
I spent the next few months…12 of them to be exact…trying to duplicate THAT cupcake!
