I took a personal day to head to North Platte to do some errands, and Bela and I made time to stop by Candy’s Cupcakery. Cassandra, the owner, made Ysabela’s cake for her 15th birthday party last year. There were so many tasty looking items that it was hard to choose! Bela finally settled on a piece of chocolate cheesecake, and I ordered a giant (and I mean giant!) sticky bun. It’s about the size of a dinner plate! We were so stuffed from Dairy Queen, however, that we are saving our treats until tomorrow. My sticky bun will be a wonderful breakfast in the morning. 🙂

For those in North Platte or anywhere close enough to visit, you shouldn’t miss the chance to stop in and say hello. Just in case you didn’t know, Candy’s Cupcakery offers soups as well as sweets. The cupcakes have filling inside, and Cassandra’s cakes are spectacular.

Bela’s treat looks awesome!

I can’t wait for breakfast!

This cake was fabulous.

There’s nothing sweeter than a cake for a quince party. This particular cake had seven layers. The layers with fruit were tasty, but my favorite flavor was the tres leches. (For those who don’t know, a “quince” is a quinceañera—a 15th birthday party. Padrinos—godparents—pay for some of the expenses of the party.)
