cupcakes

Gaze upon the most realistic fake cupcakes ever! That fake cherry is just BEGGING me to try and eat it!

May the frosting be forever in your favor. And may the lines at the movie theater move swiftly and in an organized fashion.

I'd be impressed if someone could develop seeds that grow sugar flowers from chocolate. Scientists, get on that!

I'll admit it, I love "Toddlers & Tiaras." It's a terrible show that I simply cannot get enough of. These cupcakes remind me of the super crazy pink bedrooms almost every little girl on that show lives in.

Why oh why does marzipan have to taste like marzipan? It's so lovely to look at and you can make such adorable little things with it. I just wish it tasted like, well, anything other than it does. Every Christmas my great aunt Mary used to bring over a plate of amazing handmade marzipan fruits and ever year I would try one thinking maybe, just maybe, this time it wouldn't taste like THAT. But it did. And it does.

You could have an entire meal of burgers! Burgers for dinner and burgers for dessert!

I think we could add this dish to our previously planned Carbfest 2011 to go with the mini cups of mac and cheese. This is my kind of frosting; salty, starchy, full of butter and garlic. It must be lunchtime because I am drooling over here.

Man, you guys need to lighten up! You're just snacks, it's not all that heavy! Green knows what's up, I think red might be drunk.

I need an excuse to throw a seriously girly party with lots of pink everythings everywhere. I want champagne and feather boas and Hello Kitty cupcakes and doilies and sprinkles. Maybe I should get some girly friends first.

Magic and fairytales and princesses never really get old. I mean really, if some matronly, supernatural fairy woman offered you a castle and a painless facelift and a really nice car and Ewan McGregor, would you say no? I didn't think so.

You can pack a whole lot of chocolate into one little bite sized cupcake. Remember that next time you promise yourself that you'll only have one bite of dessert. Make that bite count!

I half expect a playing card minion to come along and start slapping red paint around to cover up for a planting mistake.

Who doesn't love a surprise in their treats? Of course, when that surprise is a happy treat itself, not, like, a worm or something. Finding a heart in your cupcake is like finding a love note. It makes you feel special to know that someone cares enough to make a gesture.

I bet a teacher would appreciate a cupcake that looks like an apple even more than an actual apple. Yes, they are the pillars of society, but everyone needs an unhealthy treat now and again. Plus, maybe it's some sort of apple spice cake, that's not so unhealthy right? I'd even eat that!

Thanksgiving is upon us in the US this week and that means it's eating season! I'm planning on wearing a very forgiving knit dress to the family festivities. I'll be pushing its limits with the mountain of mashed potatoes I plan to eat. I wish I had time to make these amazing cupcakes! caramel turkeys are so clever and creative, I'm simply blown away.
