When in Austin, I was walking down South Congress street and saw a field full of food trailers. I had just eaten, but when I saw a silver airstream trailer topped with a spinning cupcake I had to investigate further. I saw the name on the trailer was hey cupcake! It is only polite to go over and say hi back, right?
If you have been following the blog you may have noticed I am a sucker for a good cupcake (I ate them in Knoxville and Columbia) I think a cupcake is the perfect dessert. It is truly an art to balance the right amount of icing with the right amount of cake. I also enjoy the creativity that people take with their cupcakes. I love finding new flavors and clever names.
In looking at the menu, I knew it was going to be a tough decision. I ended up having to buy two. The first one I selected was the Michael Jackson. Mmm cream cheese icing with chocolate cake as the base, How can you go wrong?
Topping with SPRINKLES! Is always a good way to finish!
Wondering what else I got at hey cupcake? Well you will have to wait until later to find out. I will give you a hint, it is my favorite kind of cake…

You HAVE to try Sugar Momma’s Bakeshop while in Austin!!! They have the most amazing cupcakes! Oh, and Torchy’s Tacos!

Oh Taylor. That looks so amazing. And the trailer is so cute! Have I mentioned lately that I love your blog…? I love your blog.
Thanks Stephanie! Yeh the trailer was really cool and the cupcake was good as well, I do like taking pics of cupcakes ha ha I saw your new website looks good!
The MJ is my favorite!!! The Standard is pretty darn good, too! Mmm, now I’m totally craving a cupcake!
YUM! I think you should’ve also gotten the Red Velvet!
LOL @ the “Michael Jackson”. What a cool name. Your cupcake looks fantastic. I really wish I could go there, but I would rather make my own cupcakes b/c I just love making cake too darn much haha. I will just stare at your cupcakes in the meantime.

oh my gosh why does Austin have to be SO far away! Just stumbled across you on tastespotting. I’m having a huge cupcake craving and I decided to torture myself by doing a search for cupcakes. Silly me! But these look SO good. And I love your photos!

I love Hey Cupcake! my sister and I go whenever we go to Austin, I love the vanilla dream cupcake but I have to agree that the MJ is the best.
