Cuatro de Mayo!

Happy Friday all!

Let's talk about Cinco de Mayo one day in advance shall we? Or, two days in advance...given that I am writing this post on Thursday because by now I am up to my knees in packing boxes and am probably wishing that I had a margarita. So, I have prepared nothing for you for Cinco de Mayo, seeing as all of my kitchen tools are currently boxed up and probably won't be used until Sunday or Monday.  Fortunately, I have a genius food blogging community filled with blogger's who have prepared well in advanced for Cinco de Mayo. So, let's take a look at some of the 5th of May food porn.

Forget the margaritas...I will take my alcohol in a cupcake.

Because how fun would it be to get a buzz off these? 

Um, yes please, thank you!

Oh, and what's that? A Gin + Tonic Cake is not considered Mexican food?

Here are my justifications: 1). People every where are going to be popping bottles, corks, taking shots, and probably drinking gin + tonic because its Cinco de Mayo and we all know that is really Spanish for "let's get hammered." 2). Look at that freaking glaze!

Enough of that.

Let's be a little more authentic here.

Coconut Tres Leches Cupcakes

Tid-bit: Tres Leches is one of my all-time fave desserts and I actually make it pretty darn well, or so I'm told. 

Anyway, I channel my inner abuela and don't mess around with that good stuff.

Someone hand me a fork!

When I was little I would chase down our neighborhood "La Brisa" man for the Mexican chocolate ice cream bars...but this, this is a whole notha' level.

Notice that I am talking about Mexican desserts, and that there is no mention of black beans in my post. 

I am still food poisoned traumatized and haven't eaten Mexican food since.

Holy Panaderia! Forgive me father, for I have sinned!

Ahhh...more sinning!

Whoa, now I need 5 of these

or six!

Who wants to come help me unpack? I guarantee a margarita and Mexican food will be had afterwards!

MANGIA...OLE!
