		<description><![CDATA[Crave Bakeshop. It is what your craving today.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Watch out St Cupcake, there&#8217;s a new cupcake shop in town and she is fierce. <a href="http://www.cravebakeshop.com/Crave_Bake_Shop/Crave.html" target="_blank">Crave Bakeshop</a>, the leading gal and bake shop pro, Kyra, met me for a cupcake tasting. Kyra is a Le Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef. Um, hello! However, at the age of 20, she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. Thus, requiring her to alter her diet and remove all processed and wheat containing products. She went through pastry school and decided that her daily temptation was enough. She was determined to offer pastries that were outstanding in taste and quality. No more tasteless, heavy cake and overpriced gluten-free and vegan desserts (cough, Piece of Cake, cough). To support her endeavour, Kyra delivered a set of &#8220;shooters&#8221;, mini cupcake bites for me to evaluate.</span></div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2528/4003012057_8f9b291b44.jpg" alt="crave bakeshop" width="350" height="263" /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sitting pretty and ready for trip to my mouth. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2654/4003783406_db7ed1fa5a.jpg" alt="crave bakeshop2" width="360" height="270" /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The makings of a great tasting or crime scene, all those pretty cuppies were destroyed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/4003799118_733f0aabc8.jpg" alt="crave bakeshop3" width="500" height="386" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Spicy Hot Chocolate: A subtle heat from the chipotle and cinnamon combination in the cake tingled my tongue with happiness. It was topped with a creamy and chocolately butter cream and mini marshmallows. This was one of my favorite flavors! ♥</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Chocolate Dipped Strawberry: Classic chocolate cake was topped with mouth-watering triple cream strawberry mascarpone frosting. The strawberry fields forever mascarpone topping drips off the cupcake and into my mouth. ♥</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Chocolate Carmel Ecstasy: The ganache topping was exactly how I like my chocolate. Dense and thick. A hidden treasure of caramel peek-a-booed at my while I bit into the rich chocolate cake. ♥</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Chocolate Classic: Velvety smooth chocolate butter cream frosting cloaked a moist chocolate base. A classic recipe, perfect for everyday (ha). ♥</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2531/4003036117_6c6f80b115.jpg" alt="crave bakeshop4" width="500" height="386" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Lemon Bar: Hints of almond give arise to this feather-light lemon cake. The airy cream cheese frosting was infused with lemon makes this combination a top contender in our favorite flavors. ♥</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Strawberry Cheesecake: The strawberry flavor explodes in your mouth, the frosting has such an intense strawberry infusion. I could dollop spoonful by spoonful into my mouth if allowed access to Kyra&#8217;s bakeshop kitchen. ♥</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The Princess: Make way for the pretty in pink chocolate version of the princess (usually make of vanilla bean cake). A moist and decadent chocolate cake sits pretty underneath a mini mound of a cream cheese frosting (that actually tastes like cream cheese!). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Cinnamon Roll: Spicy and fragrant, this heavier ambrosial cake dominated my palate. A cupcake classic topped with cream cheese frosting makes a match made in heaven. ♥</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4003881126_ebe402d9f4.jpg" alt="crave bakeshop4" width="500" height="300" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Skinny Vanilla Latte: Brûléed meringue whipped topping adds a sugary crisp to the frosting. Hints of coffee seeps through the vanilla cake. Note: Made with fat free milk and fat free marshmallow topping.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Hot Chocolate: Similar to the Spicy Hot Chocolate, this heavenly version was veiled in a toasted meringue frosting on classic chocolate cake. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2566/4003921172_6be8e5ee8c.jpg" alt="Desktop11" width="500" height="300" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">If cupcakes are not your thing, she does cheesecake, tarts, pastries and the occasional wedding cake. Where else can you find local farmer&#8217;s market strawberries infused with mascarpone cheese frosting or scrumptious flavors that will lift you off your feet? Two words. <a href="http://www.cravebakeshop.com/Crave_Bake_Shop/Crave.html" target="_blank">Crave Bakeshop</a>. It&#8217;s what you&#8217;re craving today.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">♥ designates my favorite flavor!</span></p>
