Where Globe-Trotting meets Beach-Combing
Visits to Cupcakeries, round one! The Cupcaking Trio started at Vanilla’s Cupcakery, the newest in town (4000 St. Johns Ave., 904.647.7586). We pulled into the lot and parked under an enormous red sign shouting, “CUPCAKES!” That was a good sign (da-dun-chh!). Pacing ourselves, we ordered two to split three ways: 1. Strawberry-Pineapple, and 2. Aztec…
