can't stop thinking about cupcakes of course!

ah, i'm such a walking cliche. I love cupcakes. join the club!
By now we have all seen the obligatory picture of me eating a cupcake....eating cupcakes at work! on a train! in a cave! under the table! oh, you haven't seen all of those? some things are best kept private, eh?
so, I can honestly say I have had close to the perfect cupcake. the holy grail of cupcakes, something dreamed about by the cupcake fanatic. where did i find this godly cupcake? Billy Bakery!
Last week Shmoops came to the big bad city to celebrate my 24th (!) birthday. Dinner, drinks, dessert, and LOST. it's all a sunny robot ever wanted. We ate dinner at an unremarkable restaurant, but I knew that i was saving myself for dessert anyway (as always). I had seen this place on a Mod 1 bakery tour, but did not sample any of their treats, I just gawked outside the window like a slobbering fool. (who am I kidding, I am a slobbering fool). Shmoops and I both got a slice of cake, and a cupcake to enjoy at work on my actual birthday. I got the Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, she got a coconut cake with fluffy white icing. Because it was late in the evening, mom ended getting the rest of the cake, the end of the night special. I picked up the chocolate cupcake with pink frosting to enjoy the next day and we went home to find out what the hell was in that hatch.
I opened presents and we munched on cake, very very sweet frosting, excellent cake. Considering the time of day, and assuming the cake had been out all day, it hadn't dried out a bit. we fell asleep after a brief sugar high...
The next day:
My birthday! but that was besides the point, the cupcake was the true star that day.
I ate it around 230, when my eyelids get heavy and i would eat my pencil to keep me busy. There is no way my description will ever do this cake justice. The combination of cake and frosting was perfect , the buttercream was sweet but it's supposed to be, and they got it just right.

The cake tasted like rich chocolate; unlike so many chocolate cakes that could pass for vanilla with brown food coloring.I almost cried. Granted, I cry alot, but this was heavenly. Angels, Zac Efron, whatever god you pray to, he lives at Billy's Bakery.
