cupcake day in Los Olivos

On 2/28 we had “cupcake day” at Saarloos & Sons “house” tasting lounge in Los Olivos (Santa Ynez Valley).  It was super fun!   A fellow blogger (sweet remembrance) posted these pics and I just had to “steal” them (I was too busy to take good pics myself that day).   I got a lot of inquires about the “lollicakes”...”what are those???”

They are my recycled approach to baking!  All cupcakes have the centers cored out to allow generous room for gooey & whippy fillings, so I make cupcakes on a stick with the excess!

 The second fav of the day was the Pomegranate Chardonnay (made with S&S “Daughters” wine)... Chocolate Blackberry Syrah cupcake was #1.
