Jackpot at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville! It was at the old Ryman Theater because of the Rockette Christmas Special and was it special! We saw the following artists:
Martina McBride
Carrie Underwood!!!!!!!!!
and about 3/4 through, the host said that "a guy" who doesn't seem to care when and where he performs anymore had shown up to sing us a song (unannounced and unplanned). Lo and behold, out walked Vince Gill in jeans and a sweatshirt, fresh from the Tennessee/Kentucky game across the street!
We had no idea the shop has only been open a month or two, but thoroughly enjoyed it and found her mission admirable:
Naticake's Mission
They rotate out the flavors, but here is the menu:

And here is a recent article -
If you EVER get to Nashville, do make a short trip south to Franklin, head to the main street downtown area, and try out your own taste of Heaven! The buttercream frosting is so light and delicately sweet.......just perfect. Mine had a slight coffee flavor, perfectly complementing the almond flavor cupcake with a surprise of chocolate ganache in the center! Andy didn't give up a taste of his Vanilla Bean cupcake, so I can't personally comment. lol But he did love it, and he isn't a cupcake lover typically.
Have a great day!
