Default I got the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Hello Cupcake stamp set and started craving....

Cupcakes! LOL


Just last week, I received the Hello Cupcake and the coordinating framelits that go with it, Call Me Cupcake.


I started having a serious hankering for some chocolate cupcakes! And at 5'1" and 175 pounds, that is the last thing I need.


I did make a card from this, and it turned out great. Just so cute! But, the more I looked at this stamp set, the more I was craving those dang cupcakes!


So, tonight I gave in to my craving and made chocolate cupcakes. And yes, they were good and will be enjoyed the next couple of days. Calories be darned!!


I wonder if anyone else has had this happen to them? :p

I am impressed the cupcakes you made will last a couple days! Anytime I make cookies, cupcakes, a cake, etc. it is gone within 24-36 hours. It is my husband and I and our three daughters who are 18, 16, and 13 and we love homemade desserts! We are all dancers and runners so it was never a big deal BUT I am turning 44 next month and it is starting to be that I can't outexercise the desserts lol!

I have a chocolate drawer in my stamp area, so I have unintentionally conditioned myself to crave chocolate when I stamp, no matter what the stamp image is of!

cnsteele, I need to become a dancer and runner! LOL I'm 53, so maybe I sound find something a bit less demanding. I know: Walking! :-)

It's just me and my husband, (and our two dogs - Daffney our Beagle and Emmy, our Yorkie). Of course, they never ever, get chocolate. But since it's just me and Don, sometimes those desserts do last a couple of days.

I'll tell you a quick but funny story: Krispy Kreme (here in Raleigh, NC), has started offering chocolate glazed (that is a glazed donut, with chocolate all over it)!! the first Friday of every month! The first month, we got a dozen and they were gone the next day! The next month, we got two dozen. I should be ashamed, I know. Haha! And those two dozen lasted about 48 hours. I think the last donut was eaten on a Sunday! Bad, I know. But so yummy!

That chocolate drawer sound delicious - even though you can't eat it. :-) I have some dark brown embossing powder and it's called Dark Chocolate! I think some of these companies, name their inks and embossing powers, after foods, because they know it sounds so good and people will want them. And they're right: It does sound good and people do want them.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your story. :-) Happy Birthday next month.
