Cupcake Sugar Coma

It's been a while since I've talked cupcakes, but over the weekend, the mister and I headed to our favorite local cupcake shop, Pearl's, to have our tasting. (It's actually quite surprising that there were flavors for us left to try! When one of the owners asked us how we heard about their shop, another lady working said, "oh, they're regulars!" Embarassing? Maybe a little. But I am powerless to resist their cupcakes. I'm not afraid to admit it.)

Since our dinner menu is featuring southern staples, we wanted to keep with the theme and tried blackberry cobbler, peach cobbler, and bourbon pecan. We also sampled the "Wilma Ray," a champagne flavored cupcake.

In the end the bourbon pecan was the clear favorite of those we tasted, and Mr. H decided to chose it as his cupcake flavor. I previously selected the Deep Dish Apple Pie as my cupcake choice. We still have one open spot on the cupcake roster. We were hoping to have three choices in total: "his," "hers," and "something we agree on". Currently the front-runner for our third and final choice is the blackberry cobber, but I think we might have to make a few more weekend trips to Pearl's just to be sure.

How did you pick your dessert? Did you want it to follow a theme or did you just pick something you really love? (Luckily for us, we get both!)
