Red Velvet Cupcake : Twelve Cupcakes

Cupcake is all the rage or it is over? But whichever the case is, they are still everywhere and growing.. I think every person on this planet loves a good cupcake. Who wouldn't?! I mean even as a kid I have always loved eating my cupcake snacks. They weren't freshly baked back then of course unlike these babies!

So, I was at Lucky China Town the other week and I happen to pass by TWELVE CUPCAKES. I have been seeing photos of it around, I am pretty curious if it is any good.

I would not say where, but I was seriously traumatized by one cupcake place. I was super excited to try their cupcakes because they were all so lovely looking. If looks could kill, I would have been dead already. I wasted a few hundred peso bills that could have gone to someplace better.

But we learn from our mistakes. Well at least I have learned from my previous mistake and I didn't let the glutenous monster in me take charge. I was smart enough this time to start with one (not that I didn't want more, I was just scared that it would be dry or unpleasant and it would just go to the back of the refrigerator to be thrown out a week or so later).

If I could go on a diet.

• I can let go of my junk food stash. 
• I can let go of meat (maybe). 
• I can let go of rice. 
• I can let go of soft drinks.

I can let go of everything EXCEPT ICE CREAM. That is literally my soft spot, that's what my soft spot is made of.

If there would be a thing that would let me know that I am my mother's child. It is that we love ice cream. Ice cream's don't stand a chance in our house. It will be gone before you even notice it.

If there is one thing we agree on, it is definitely good ice cream. My mother alone can finish a half gallon in a day's time. I am not kidding! Give her whipped cream and waffle cone. You will be wishing you ate some before you even showed the container to her.

One thing I love about Robinson's Magnolia is that, it is the mall that keeps on giving! I have found so many treats there that it feel like I have been exploring another planet. From great ramen places, to new boutiques, to top it off it has A LOT of good ice cream parlors.

I have been freezing these past few days because of the unusually cold weather here in Manila. Thank God! Even if it sounds like I am complaining(because I am) I am still enjoying the cold weather at the same time. But even if I feel cold, I can never complain that an ice cream is too cold! There is no such thing. I love ice cream. Just not melted ice cream ok? :)

If I would be left on an island and asked what food I can take. I would ask for an ice cream, not just an ice cream but a complete factory that can make ice creams. Can I ask for that? If I could. I am not so sure about what ice cream flavors I can make. I bet it would only be coconut ice creams. Not unless there would be miracle trees growing, I would not be able to make the best of my wish.

We got there a little later than usual, so we decided to just do the groceries. Whenever entering the magical boarders of supermarkets. The first thing I look for are the ice cream freezers. I know it would be silly for some, what could I be expecting? It would always just be the usual ice creams. But surprise surprise!!!! Robinson's Magnolia's supermarket has a different ice cream freezer! All those ice cream freezer stalking paid off!
