So I was trying to come up with a helpful tip and instead of anything regarding beauty, makeup, and fashion the only thing I had on my brain was sweets. I had my glucose test yesterday to make sure I haven’t developed gestational diabetes and because of it I had to steer away from sweets all day. This shouldn’t be hard, it really shouldn’t. But it was. Typically I’m a kid at heart when it comes to sweets (as I’ve expressed numerous times before) and head right to gummy bears, Sour Patch, etc but yesterday I surpassed even those. All I wanted was a true dessert. What I would have done for a brownie sundae! So the one thing I figured I could share with you all today are my recent finds in the sweet world that deliver anywhere.
When we visited Provincetown, Cape Code about a month ago for my grandma’s 85th birthday Jared and I discovered what could very well be the best cupcakes we’ve ever had in our lives. Scottcakes (website currently being developed) only does one kind of cupcake, with one kind of frosting: vanilla cake with pink buttercream frosting. Period. The only variations are mini and regular size, as well as special gluten free cupcakes. And they are insaaaaane. I highly recommend for the next time you want to send someone something sweet!
We also just discovered Macarons and Cookies by Woops when we were in New Jersey recently and I was blown away after reluctantly trying one (not a huge french macaron fan since I think they tend to just be dried out tasting) and realized they were my favorite macarons I had ever tried in my life. And I’ve not only had them in the states but in London and PARIS. Why are they better than any I’ve had in Paris?! I don’t know, but they were. Granted I’m preggos right now, but my opinion was backed by others. My fav flavors included Cafe, Caramel Fleur de Sel, and (wait for it….) Nutella, yumm! They have a couple of locations in NY and NJ, but will of course also ship. If you’re a fan of macarons and even if you don’t think you are, definitely try them out!
Enjoy!

My girlfriend is on the ferry now headed to Provincetown! Sent her the link to your fab blog, & she’s added it to their itinerary!

What great timing! I’m jealous that she’ll be enjoying some Socttcakes shortly! We went twice in four days and bought a bunch to go during our second stop, but it’s ok because I’m preggers, right? xo

I love Macarons & Cookies! There’s one in Short Hills mall about 20 min from my house! Is that the one you went to?
