I don't bake. I just eat! :): CUPAKE CREATIVITY!!

CHAGRIN FALLS, OHIO
MAIN STREET USA
AMERICANA AT ITS FINEST

The winner for "CUPCAKE CREATIVITY" on a summer 2014 trip goes to a little place that I happened upon in a GEM of a town called, Chagrin Falls.

You see, my husband and I are fans of the movie, "A Christmas Story" and part of our summer trip was to see the house they used in the movie, as it was beautifully redone, with a museum and gift shop across the street.This is in Cleveland: http://www.achristmasstoryhouse.com/

Well, my husband is also a fan of "Calvin and Hobbes" and on a random / rare day that he took off from work, we watched a documentary about the author, Bill Waterson. It showed that he was from an incredibly beautiful town called Chagrin Falls: http://chagrin-falls.org/ We learned that it was not far from Cleveland at all, and as the waterfalls looked completely gorgeous and the town so quaint and peaceful, I said, "Let's go there too!"

While there, we learned that Chagrin Falls is the ONLY town to have that name in all of the USA! We spent some time at the Historical Society and then walked around the town square. I just have to add a photo of the Popcorn Shop because it is just too cute!!!

Well, while walking along in a town this "Americana" and cute, of course one would expect it to have a Main Street - and of course, one would expect to find a cupcake shop there as well - which I did!!!

PLEASE go to their website and check out the creative flavors they have. THIS is what cupcakes, for me, are about. They are not generic, they are works of art. Main Street Cupcakes had flavors such as: Champagne and Raspberries, Cherry Float, Bubble Gum, Hippie Cake, Cup of Java, and Gingerbread Latte (to name a few). I really could not decide and as I like to be "seasonal" with my flavors, I chose ones that reminded me of summertime: Shirley Temple and Champagne and Raspberries.
