Frozen Yogurt Cups (Sunshine Cups)

I have decided to call these "Sunshine Cups" since I made them the weekend of summer solstice. You can find a recipe on the side of the "’Nilla Wafers" box, but this is how I did it:

50 ‘Nilla Wafers
8 oz Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 pt. Raspberries
1/2 pt. Strawberries
1/2 pt. Blueberries
1 Container of Cool Whip
24 Cupcake Liners

Place rinsed & patted dry berries in a blender with vanilla yogurt, blend until well mixed. Empty entire Cool Whip container into a mixing bowl. Pour a few cups of yogurt mixture at a time into Cool Whip, mixing with an electric mixer. Stop adding yogurt if it starts to get too "soupy" (leftover yogurt makes a nice smoothie ;-) . The mixture should be thick and creamy and slightly fluffy. Place cupcake liners in cupcake tins. Place a ‘Nilla Wafer (face up) at the bottom of each liner. Dollop 2-4 tablespoons of mixture in each cup to fill. This should yield up to 25 cups. Dunk a ‘Nilla Wafer vertically halfway into each cup. Freeze until solid. To clean the bowl, scrape sides with leftover ‘Nilla Wafers and munch it all down before the kids catch you ;-) I’m sure all types of fruit blends can work, but it worked great with what I had at hand. A cool treat for summer days when you just can’t take the heat in the kitchen.

The. Most. Amazing. Cupcake Shop. Ever.

Sin-a-Mint on Vanilla Cake; Dessert at Tiffany’s: Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream; Sin-a-Mint on Chocolate Cake.

We had 45 minutes to kill in downtown Victoria before meeting Anthony and his boy for dinner, so we wandered into the Pink Sugar Cupcakerie!

Bonus: they are so Matthew safe! Their product line is entirely egg and dairy free. And it’s freaking delicious. (They’ll even bake gluten-free on demand!) The girl who was working here was beyond delightful — to accomodate Matthew’s peanut allergy, she offered to make him his Sin-a-Mint up from scratch. He couldn’t choose between vanilla cake or chocolate cake, so she made him both, and charged him for one. <3. The Tiffany icing on mine was cute, but really I should have tried the lavender. LAVENDER CUPCAKES. YOU GUYS. Munched upon happily in their cute little tables and chair in the storefront window.
