Vivace usually has amazing cupcakes in their pastry case, by Cupcake Royale in Ballard. But only rarely do they have the elusive lavender buttercream chocolate cupcake by the time I get there for daily coffee break.

Here is a picture of one posing with my purse last winter, at the West Seattle shop.

It also can be seen in my LJ icon.

If Vivace has one today, I’m getting it.
