Let Them Eat Cake

Cupcakes are the most delicious things in the WORLD! I wouldn't ordinarily say this, considering how there are Kit Kats and British chocolate and devil's food cake also in the world, but in this case I believe I can safely boast that the cupcakes at the Cocoa Bean have been sent to Provo to bless my life.

I first tried a magical chocolate-y cupcake in Rexburg when I went to visit my awesome friend Ann (Shout out to you, Ann! That weekend ROCKED!). Then I bid the beautiful shop adieu and cried my way back to Provo.

But who could have imagined that a mere semester later, the cupcake business would have boomed enough to allow for a new branch to open in Provo? That's right, ladies and gentlemen: Provo has a new shop in town. And it's name is cupcakes.

So last night, upon making a very, very, VERY too-short visit to Provo this past Saturday and Sunday, one of the coolest people ever (you know who you are, Rachel Penelope Bohman!) suggested that we stop at the cupcake place and view a brief glimpse of heaven.

And we did. Ahhhhhhh, manna from heaven couldn't have been as wonderful as the chocolate raspberry confection that I split with my fiance. In fact, manna was probably worse than what we ate, since that stuff is supposed to be disappearing-and-reappearing bread. Isn't it? Or something like that? Wait, was it bread-ish? I can't remember now...

In any case, I'm writing this blog at 6:19 in the morning because I am wide awake and yet dreaming of delicious magical cupcakes. I guess my point is that the Cocoa Bean is beautiful.

And the Old Testament is confusing.

    Moving on from existential angst, cupcakes are God's gift to humanity. Like, as you said, manna. Except they're not free, and they don't fall from the sky. On the other hand, they are far more delicious and sugary, I'm sure.
