Benson's Bliss

The word bliss is defined as “supreme happiness, utter joy and contentment.” (At least that’s what it says at dictionary.com…I’ll take its word for it.) So if it means happiness, heaven and all that sparkly jazz, what would be considered the ultimate symbol of sweet, sweet bliss?

All hail the queen of contentment, the cream of the sugar crop for nothing utters “bliss” quite like a cute cupcake from Carolyn Benson and her bouncing business: Bliss Cupcakes.

Benson bakes her sweet treats right at home in Spring, TX, offering up countless flavors including vanilla bean, strawberry, mocha madness and carrot cake. First time customers pay $15 for a dozen.

Ah, what sweet, sweet bliss.
