I’ve had a new obsession with cupcakes in the past year. I’m not sure what has triggered it… maybe all of the cooking shows, or the recent trend for brides to serve cupcakes at their weddings instead of the traditional three-tier wedding cake. I’m intrigued by the different varieties and flavors that can be packed inside these personal sized treats, and the boundaries that people are crossing with them.

A few months ago, there was some buzz about this small cupcake place, and I was more than surprised to learn that it was located less than a mile from my house in the small town of McGaheysville, Virginia. It’s called The Cupcake Company. Tonight, my husband brought home a box of six of the Grasshopper cupcakes from this shop, and they were delicious! Not only do they taste good, but they are stunningly gorgeous, and come in adorable packaging. One look at them, and I knew I had to take some pictures! We can’t wait to try some other flavors!
