PHM 2015-In Pursuit of Cupcakes While Running in Glass Slippers

I was loving that 1st cupcake! It looked perfect, delicious!






Then the picture of that Lemon Curd appeared...maybe one of you could take a spoon and eat that out of mine?? :rotfl:
 
You non-lemon people...you don't know what you're missing! I'm going to say something controversial right now. I'd rather have a lemon cupcake than a chocolate one!

I am with you. I will take a lemon item over a chocolate one. And that's saying a lot because I do love chocolate.

I just love lemon baked items more!
 
Celebrating a successful ADR Day, CUPCAKE RUNNER style.


Not only did we get everyone that we wanted (we tweaked our list some since I posted earlier this week) at the times we wanted, BUT WE ALSO SCORED the HUGE CUPCAKE GROUP meet up wants that we wanted! :thumbsup2 It took teamwork, which cupcakes are best at (as witnessed on PHM registration day) to get it done. Thanks Debra for getting the process going and Amy H. for being our great cheerleader, cheering us along was Debra worked the MDE site and I did the WDW-DINE line (plus a direct call to Via Napoli). I had forgotten the “Disney High” you get when you the exacted ADRs you wanted!

Here is wishing everyone else a successful ADR day as their day happens and I can’t wait to meet up with so many of you at Sanaa, Kona, and Via Napoli!

More chocolate cupcakes for me then, especially that chocolate caramel frozen one!

I would take lemon over chocolate any day, and I love chocolate.
 
Happy Monday!!

ADR Update: I was able to score an Ohana ADR on Saturday and Chef Mickey's for BF on Tuesday before we leave! I still need to make one for Trail's End but i am decided between BF and dinner. Also for a to be decided restaurant in DTD.

Rental Car Update: We like to have a car. It makes my DH happy so I go with it. I had a compact booked for $180. Booked an economy today for $86! We won't really be transporting luggage so just getting the 4 of us around the parks and resorts we should be fine with an economy.

Race Update: Mom and I finished our 5k on Saturday and had fun. It was humid but overcast which was sooo great! No baking sun! We finished in 41mins and my mom was 5th out of 44 in her age group! Go momma! Next year our goal is to shave 1min off and come in at 40mins!
 
Motivation Monday….
Getting My Training Mojo Back




Let’s see where we are with training…okay, so I have not made it back into training mode! But this is the week where we lace up the NEW running shoes and start pounding the pavement once again!

So what did I do this weekend to get myself motivated….


I have been watching PHM youtube videos and this one (although from 2011) really stood out! I think I have found my new running anthem for this race. If you remember “What Doesn’t Kill You…Makes You Stronger” was my theme for ToT…well for PHM it is going to be “Celebrate You.” Here are the lyrics…

Oo oh, oo oh... aah

Everyday is the right day
It's easy to understand
Cause you get the chance
And you take it
Make it the best you can make it
Why should you hold back?

It's the time of your life
You don't want to miss out.
On right here and now
There's so many reasons why
You don't wanna stop
It's your chance, live it up
And everything you do
Celebrate you (Oo oh)
Celebrate you (Oo oh)
Ah

Everytime is the right time
So make every second count
Go for your dream, you can live it
Reach for the skies is your limit
Celebrate what you're all about
Ouuuuh!

It's the time of your life
You don't want him to stop
On right here and now
There's so many reasons why
You don't wanna stop
Here's your chance, live it up
And everything you do
Celebrate you

So cupcakes, HERE'S OUR CHANCE...lace up, down load this song, and lets get running/walking so that in 182 we are running down Main Street, through the castle, waving our JAZZIRIT hands high in the air and then crawling for cupcakes together… as we CELEBRATE WHAT WE"RE ALL ABOUT...supporting and lifting each other up!
 
Mmm, I'm with you, this looks light and refreshing! I'm wondering if I can make one of these my last taste...after the other 2600 that I eat. Somehow I'm thinking there is no way I'm actually even going to taste half of the ones I want. :rotfl2:

I got a plan for that...a bite of this one, a bite of that one...

Morning ladies-

Comment on the cupcakes. I am in love with them both. :cloud9: Tammie you were right on when mentioned that these would work well for us! Yummo!! I will give up last weeks PB/Choco one for these two.

I am with many of you that I have fallen COMPLETELY off the running track and now that summers over ( I hate summer running) I AM going to get back in the game. I have a bunch of fall races I signed up for!

Get moving girl...I am having a hard time finding races that fit into the schedule I need to maintain until PHM!

Things are crazy busy here as well with crazy work deadlines & Girl Scouts starting back up. I now lead THREE troops. Why do I do this to myself? :confused3 School... activities... all that..keeping things hopping.

I so hear you...while I am glad to be back on a schedule having 2 kids in high school both in athletics as well as everything else...well let's just say its is going to be a very busy fall...and that is not even factoring in the 3rd grader!

The good news for me, at least, is I work WAY better and am WAY more productive with everything when I'm highly scheduled & busy. Summer - I just get lazy. So hopefully that pushes me back into better planning mode (I have been such a poor Tweedle counterpart lately) and running!

So here's to the fall. I am sad summer is winding down, but time to get my rear back in gear!

FALL???? Oh how I am longing for cooler temps in the afternoon!
 
I was loving that 1st cupcake! It looked perfect, delicious!

I am still not getting the white chocolate shavings...






Then the picture of that Lemon Curd appeared...maybe one of you could take a spoon and eat that out of mine?? :rotfl:

I think we can arrange that...

You non-lemon people...you don't know what you're missing! I'm going to say something controversial right now. I'd rather have a lemon cupcake than a chocolate one!

*ducks*

I think I would take the lemon too...and I love chocolate!

I am with you. I will take a lemon item over a chocolate one. And that's saying a lot because I do love chocolate.

I just love lemon baked items more!

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are the best!

I didn't get the times I wanted, but at least I got ADRs!

Wahoo...good for getting what you wanted place wise...time just keep checking it will happen! I am still pretty stunned that we got everything!

More chocolate cupcakes for me then, especially that chocolate caramel frozen one!

Trade you...


Have at it! If we're really choosing though, I'd rather have the red velvet one at Starring Rolls!

We have not even gotten to DHS yet! LOL No trading yet!

:love::love::love::love:

Good to know I'm not alone! I love chocolate in some ways, but I am picky about it. I've been told I am weird. I'm okay with that!

Weird...I am picky about chocolate too...I hate crunch bars...the chocolate just seems icky in them!

I like lemon in like alcoholic beverages, salads, chicken and pasta.

I found the best lemon shot in Italy...Lemoncello!

I am so behind here. Been on vacation at the beach with family and basically out a hold on the rest of "life". But I came across this today and I just have to share with you ladies!

The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances

"This is not just a book about running. It's a book about cupcakes."

I am going to have to check this book out in better detail! Thanks for sharing!

YAY for ADRS!

Super job on the 5K...awesome job Mom! Glad the 2 of you had a great run together!
 
Cupcake Friday
As if just being Friday was not sweet enough…

Upon doing my research this week I found the last cupcake of our visit to the Contemporary Resort is also found at our next resort, the Wilderness lodge so today’s Cupcake Friday will be

THE TALE OF 2 STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CUPCAKES






Version #2
Roaring Forks-Wilderness Lodge



The cupcake itself has a pink hue which is due mainly to the pieces of strawberry used in the strawberry batter, and actual strawberry cake. The cupcake is topped with an icing that is much like fresh strawberries in a blender with whip cream as well as sparkly sprinkles along the edge and a fresh strawberry on top.


Inside the cupcake was a bright, lemon curd filling….just like at the Contemporary Café. YAY...more for Nicole and me!

Review

“The cool thing about this cupcake is that it actually is strawberry cake. Sometimes Disney sneakily calls a cupcake a unique flavor, and then you only taste it in the icing or in a dab of filling, while the cake is just normal vanilla. But this was a wonderful strawberry overload. I'm not a big lemon fan, but that lemon filling gave it just the perfect zest to go with the fruity cake and icing!”

My Thoughts
With the last few cupcakes leading me to a chocolate overload, a strawberry lemonade cupcake sounds so refreshing. I am having the Wilderness Lodge one...it just looks more strawberry to me. I am still having a hard time with those white chocolate sprinkles...

Your Thoughts????

We had the WL cupcake on our vacation a couple weeks ago. TRY this one, girls. It's delicious!!
