pink tree sweets is a new cupcake joint located in downtown andover, ma. the store’s beautifully decorated. looks like a new sweet hangout spot in the neighborhood.
i like when cupcakes have fillings! i really liked this matcha mochi cupcake, very creamy and soft.
in addition to cupcakes, they also sell bubble teas.

i visited pork belly last weekend in virginia. we had such a great ‘outdoor’ weekend.
saturday we went to the national zoo in DC. we took the train instead of driving there. DC has the creepiest subway ever. so dark and creepy.
panda statue
the zoo is FREE just like other museums in DC
perhaps because it is free. there arent so many animals in the zoo.
cheetah
panda:
there are two pandas: tian tian and mei xiang. this is the first time ive ever since a live non-sleeping panda super close. w00t! the pandas were both eating bamboos. i really think their main meals are not bamboos but meat instead. how can they only eat bamboos and get that fat. they are aggressive diners.
panda was shipped in this cage from china.
some panda porn. they tried to reproduce on their own but couldnt get pregnant 
this might be the 1st time ive seen a live owl.
after the zoo, we headed to sweet lobby. although pork belly bought sweet lobby for me a few times, i hadnt been to their real store yet.
the store is so tiny. im sorta on a diet so we just got couple things and ate on the spot. the cupcakes were so good when they were fresh.
strawberry champagne + green tea w/ a macaron on top.
check out pork belly’s panty and flies tee in the back :T
after sweet lobby we headed to georgetown. we rented two bikes and biked around.
look what i got lol….. i also bought a bubble bar from lush.
we had dinner @ chasin tails crawfish in arlington and watched the celtics vs. 76ers game 7. the food that night wasnt so good and fresh and the waiter was super slow. meh i don’t know if i will return again.
Sunday
we went to Shilla to get some bingsoo and bubble tea after hot pot lunch @ Mala Tang
the green tea bingsoo is a beast. sooo goooddd omg!! the one @ pc cafe in boston is nothing but trash comparing to this.
the shaved ice is so fine + super delish green tea ice cream + mochi + yummy red bean
the pink bubble tea is guava flavored. tasted horrible it went straight to trash.
after yummy bingsoo its time for some biking. pork belly took me to the The Washington and Old Dominion Trail
“The 100-foot-wide W&OD has been called “the skinniest park in Virginia.” But it is also one of the longest parks, 45 miles of paved trail for walking, running, bicycling and skating and 32 miles of adjacent gravel trail for horseback riding. Built on the roadbed of the former Washington & Old Dominion Railroad, the multi-use W&OD Trail runs through the urban heartland and countryside of Northern Virginia.
W&OD Trail Hours: The park is open all year, from dawn to dusk.
Location: The W&OD Trail runs from Shirlington near I-395 to Purcellville in Loudoun County.”
Monday
after korean bbq @ honey pig we went to h mart next door to grab some snacks.
korean kit kat knock-offs
pork belly picked up this cuz he thought the expression of the chicken made this looked super good and spicy, but it turned out to be the opposite.
after h mart we went to our fave dessert place again – shilla
i couldnt resist sampling their bread/bakery. omg so good. heavenly good. i was in paradise.
we also went to hahaPink for sticker photos <3
after i was super stuffed from sampling all the bread, we headed to great falls park for hiking.
after hiking we drove back to reston center. i got a cupcake from red velvet cupcakery. they only had two flavors left. this chocolate one and carrot cupcake. i hate carrot cake so i didnt have a choice. it was good but nothing so special about it.
also went to Pilango Gelato for some gelato. i got the passion fruit flavor. soooooo goood and refreshingly deflish!!!!! loved loved it!
pork belly was hungry at this point, so he got a beacon burger and cajun fries from five guys. i couldnt resist so i ate half of the fries of course.
thanks to pork belly i had a such fun weekend. i love you <3
pork belly ordered cupcakes from georgetown cupcake last year for my birfuday. whenever we drive by the shop in georgetown there is a huge line all the way down the street and i dont even see where it ends. so this place must must be amazing right?
mehh not really. they have a very huge and creative selection of cupcakes, but their cupcakes tend to be very sugary, heavy, sweet tasting.
i prefer sprinkles and the sweet lobby in DC than georgetown cupcake
im glad that i never waited in that cray line for this!

pork belly came boston to visit this past weekend and he brought me french macarons and cupcakes from the sweet lobby. he even skipped work to get me these. <3<3<3<3<3
he got me 6 macarons, 5 cupcakes, and 4 green tea madeleines.
the macarons were ok this time. the purple and pink combo one was mad sweet. i liked the purple one the best but i dont know what flavor it is tho. i dont think i ll ask pork belly get macarons for them anymore because they arent that special. i think i like macarons from macaron sweeterie better.
only this purple one made me go ummmmmmmmm yummmm ummmm
cupcakes are so good though so we ll continue to get cupcakes from sweet lobby.
Green Tea Pistachio, Coconut, Fire Breathing Chocolate, and Red Velvet
the green tea pistachio tasted a lot better than i remembered. so goood.
coconut one was jus ok. wouldnt get it again
the red velvet was yum. it’s topped with tangy cream cheese frosting so yumm cream cheeeese!!!
this is the fire breathing chocolate: Mandarin-scented dark chocolate cake, filled with spicy fudge,
topped with milk chocolate buttercream.
i def felt the ‘fire’. it was interesting but i doubt it would get it again
my lovely pork belly aka the best bf in the world surprised me with macarons and cupcakes from the sweet lobby with this cutie peng peng from hallmark
they actually won the cupcake wars. he got me the Mango Cream, Green Tea Pistachio, Pineapple Inside Out, Vanilla Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Hazelnut. pork belly loves the green tea pistachio one. well he loves everything green tea. i personally love the yellow one which is the mango cream. i like the pineapple inside out: oven-roasted pineapples give this cupcake its distinctive ‘pineapple upside down cake’ flavor. Topped with cream cheese frosting and toasted shredded coconut. the strawberry cupcake from sprinkles is still my all time favorite, but the sweet lobby def beats everything else.
the frosting is very buttery instead of sugary and i think they stole the cake recipe from sprinkles because it tastes pretty much like sprinkles.
the green tea pistachio that pork belly loves
macarons!
i actually like their macarons. i dont think they are authentic french macarons but i like them because they dont have the heavy almond flour taste that a lot macarons have. i like the pink and white combo one the best. i dislike the darker green one cuz it tastes like vodka. i know. weird.
they have tons weird flavors. some of the flavors: Hazelnut Praline Salted Caramel, Red Hot Chili Chocolate, Passionfruit Milk Chocolate, Spicy Curry Mango, Caramel, Pistachio, Rose, Vanilla Vanilla Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Red Velvet, Green Tea, Lemon-Raspberry, Orange-Ginger, Sweet Potato, Raspberry, Cappuccino, Guava, and Coconut!
i like this one too:
they post the flavors of the day on their facebook page, you can check it before heading to the store.
my pork belly and baby peng peng <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
my verdict
the sweet lobby > sprinkles > georgetown cupcakes
this place gets 5/5 bunny belly!

THIS IS THE BEST CUPCAKE PLACE THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! i love the strawberry one the best!!!! very refreshing tasting, super rich, creamy, and the sweetness is just right! i cannot describe how amazing it is!!! NOT YOUR AVERAGE CUPCAKE! the also like the chocolate marshmallow one as well.
these four i got from georgetown location:
(pic taken with iPhone + attached fisheye lens)
this is the Beverly Hills location that we went to last spring break:
i love it so much, pork belly bought me this:
awww i kno!!!
this place gets 10/5 bunny belly!
we stopped by sweet cupcakes today because the bff wanted to try it. i have had it before at the cambridge location and i was super full from thai food and berrylime so i had to pass. plus, they didn’t have the cheesecake one that i like. this place is good. it’s similar to georgetown cupcakes. btw, georgetown cupcakes is coming to newbury st soon; i saw the store today! i am happy but not super psyched because it’s not sprinkles! i love sprinkles! the best cupcakes ever! i will have a post about sprinkles soon.
anyways, here:
the inside:
the angel food cupcake + bff’s gorgeous hand, my friend said it’s relatively light and not super sweet. she liked it.
this place gets 4/5 bunny belly
