Growing up in rural New Hampshire was a different experience than most. First, when I say rural it means the nearest anything is a 30 mile drive away. Want to go to the mall and hang with your friends? Better have a really cool Mom because the mall is 30+ miles away. We only went to the mall when we needed something, or usually enough things to warrant a trip. But when we did go, and if we were lucky, we’d go to the Mall of New Hampshire which is the best mall in the state. Why is it the best? Not because of the indoor carousel. Or the Forever 21. It is the best because it has a Cinnabon.

Cinnabon Cupcakes

 

The smell of Cinnabon was enough to make us go crazy! Some teenage girls like to spend their money on makeup or jewelry. I, the ever geeky foodie, chose food.

These cupcakes remind me soooo much of Cinnabon. Not only because of the delicious aroma, but the gooey frosting too! Aww man, this is making me nostalgic! New York has a lot of great places to eat, but oddly enough I’ve never seen a Cinnabon!

    Louis CK has such a funny bit about Cinnabon. For me, the smell of Mall is Auntie Anne’s pretzels. How do they get the smell to permeate the entire mall? Evil marketing geniuses. These look amazing. Better than anything one could get at a Mall.
