I was in Mill Valley last weekend checking out Tyler Florence's new shop when our stomachs started growling. My friend E suggested we check out the cupcake shop around the corner. Now I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I'll do a face plant into a bag of Salt & Vinegar dirty chips or a plate of Gordon Biersch garlic fries any day without batting a salt-caked eye, but it's not too hard for me to pass on desserts - not to mention that fact that I can't bake to save my savory soul - but these little sugary devils definitely stopped me in my tracks. The store, darling. The cupcakes, delicious!
The owner (I can't remember her name, sorry! and I was too busy stuffing my face with cupcake to write it down...) gets up every morning at 2am to start baking these beauties! I had the Peanut Butter Bliss cupcake - dark chocolate cake, topped with a few swirls of peanut butter butter cream icing kissed on top with a Reese's peanut butter cup. Oh and did I mention there was peanut butter butter cream filling?! Bliss indeed. Signing off fat and happy in Mill Valley :)

Oh My God! Laura I want to jump in my car and drive to Mill Valley for a Peanut Butter Bliss cupcake right now!! I am drooling over your details. I was just in the City while visiting Mary's family for Tommy's 8th grade graduation and I passed by Mill Valley multiple times Thursday & Friday. Whenever they come to us in Pebble they stop @ Stanford @ Sprinkles for cupcakes ... time for a new tradition for us to bring cupcakes to them! Thanks for the Blissful suggestion Sweetie :)
