Has anyone seen my boyfriend? Cause the guy next to me just asked for a second serving of Lavender Cupcakes. I’m just as shocked as you are. OK, I can’t deny that these cupcakes are super moist with a very unique and refined taste. There’s just something about them that’s highly addictive. They make a gorgeous show-piece, perfect for tea-time, baby showers, engagement parties, a grandmother’s birthday. And, apparently, they’re versatile enough to please a masculine palate. That, or, I’m in the presence of a mutated strain of Boyfriend.
