My friend Cammie was down a few days ago. I can’t tell you guys how much I love this chick. But anyhoo, she knows how much I love sweets so she asks me, “hey have you been to Yami Yogurt at the mall? They have really good yogurt. I was like, “Yami Yogurt? No, and how is it possible that you been there already and I haven’t.” So the next day I was like ,”baby grab your keys we have to go some where, like now.” At first it was a bit hard to find since it was on the side of the mall that we’re never at, across from the food court on the other side.

I got a small grape flavored yogurt, $3.02. The prince was really weird to me; why not $3.00 or $3.05 but whatever. The cup was really small and since Ray and I were sharing I was a bit weary that it wouldn’t be enough. This cup was like seriously, 8oz but as you can see they filled it up quite nicely. The yogurt reminded me of the hello kitty candy I use to buy when I was a little girl. It was sweet, juicy, light and creamy. If you ever had candy from the hello kitty store, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. They do have toppings too, lots of it but I didn’t take note of the price. I’ve had a lot of soft serve here on the island, from TCBY, Fiore, to DQ and in my opinion Yami’s is the best so far.

If you can read Japanese this shirt is pretty funny.

So Ray’s on the phone talking to our friend Amber and she’s like, “oh my God, if Doe were here she would die, our company bought us the most amazing cupcakes from Cake Couture Cupcakes.” And I’m like, “ohhh, can you guys save me one?” Anyhow, Ray and I are in the car driving around looking for a new place to dine when what do we drive right into, Cake Couture Cupcakes. It was fate, destiny, what-ever you want to call it. Some things are just meant to be and these cupcakes were made to be consumed by me and me alone. The place is pretty hidden inside Aina Haina Shopping Center Courtyard in Hawaii-Kai. The shopping center itself looks a bit outdated but Cake Couture Cupcakes was like finding a small gem in a bowl of rocks. Once you laid eyes on it it sparkles and shines and just draws you in. You can see from the picture and right through the window that the place is tiny.

As soon as I laid I eye upon these I knew she was the one. These were Eggnog flavor and cost $2.50 each.

I know, don’t they look so pretty? I almost didn’t want to eat it. I have to say, the first bite was orgasmic. The second bite was amazing. There was no doubt the frosting was eggnog. The cake itself was not eggnog and tasted yummy like most cupcakes do but it was definitely the frosting that makes the cake. By the time I got 2/3 through my eggnog delight I realize that one cupcake was all I could handle. The frosting didn’t taste too sweet at first but by the end it was really sweet and almost ruined my appetite for dinner.

I love cupcakes because they’re like having a little cake without having a whole cake. These are definitely worth a try. I know it’s the New Year and everyone’s trying to loose all that blubber they’ve accumulated in 2007 but I say fuck it. It’s o.k to be a hedonist every once in a while and the best time is at the beginning of the year so you have the rest of the year to focus on those goals. By the way, hope everyone had nothing but good times during the holidays and I wish you a very prosperous up coming year filled with full bellies and big smiles.

I don’t see a lot of TCBY’s anymore. Back in California there use to be quite a few, but then they started dropping like flies. I remember when I was a little girl my older sister, Lana would take Me and our little sister to the TCBY in Merced. I was a sugar whore back then too, difference is I had to rely on other people to pay my way. Well, times have change and these days I could afford to take myself to TCBY. Lets just say I’m a balla on a budget. On this particular day I happen to have little sis with me so it brought me great joy to rekindle old childhood memories with her.

The inside of TCBY.

As you can see it’s not a bad size for an ice cream shop

I got vanilla flavor in a small size, $269 with health toffee topping, .85 for two scoops. Their smalls are a generous size. One is plenty for one and perfect for two. Also, for .85 for two small scoops of topping is a nice deal. I can’t tell you how many times I just wish they would just be a little bit more generous with the toppings at other creameries. I didn’t feel that way here. The vanilla was smooth, refreshing and a just the right base for the toffee. I was really happy with my treat and so was little sis.

Not skimpy on the toppings at all.

But just so you guys know, the water fountain is out of order.

Also, if you want an employee’s phone number, don’t call and ask for it, they won’t give it to you. Instead just come inside and get it yourself. It’s right there behind the counter for anyone who wants it. * The owner of TCBY hit me up, and ask that I take off his employee’s phone numbers from my site. I debated for awhile, but since I’m such a nice person I decided to blur out their numbers. You’re welcome.

My little sis is goofy.
