it's the little things...

you know what i craved all weekend? well, i crave it all the time, but especially this weekend. red velvet cake. and as i've stressed a million times before, only with cream cheese icing. no buttercream crap. hate that stuff. i was taking a break from my work and i tried a new coffee place while i was out. and right beside the counter i see a little glass stand with some baked goods in it. and there was mini red velvet cupcakes in all their glory. i quickly asked the guy ringing me up what type of icing it was. sure enough, it was cream cheese. we shared a moment of our love for red velvet  as i added it to my order.

i waited until i got home to eat the mini concoction of love and that walk seemed to take forever. and let me just tell you, it was ah-mazing. as a self-proclaimed red velvet snob, i know good from bad. and there is a lot of bad out there. this has now been added to the short list of places that make a good quality red velvet in the city. (The Dessert Lady, Wanda's Pie in the Sky, and now Aroma Espresso Bar.)

oh, and to top it off, i've always wanted a latte with a little design in it, and this place does that too! it's a little messed up in the picture because i walked a bit with it before i stopped to take a picture. but that right there, that's a heart :)

see...it's the little things; like a heart in a latte and an unexpected [delicious] red velvet cupcake.
