cupcakes

The real genius of these little cuties is that there are wee marzipan potatoes studding the chocolate cake soil! The baker made these for her father who is a potato farmer! I might die of preciousness!

There has to be an uncomfortable moment with these when you're expecting icy coldness and are met with creamy frosting. But you'll get over it.

Poor sweet cupcake, did you scrape your sweet little knee? Let's slap a cupcake on that and sweeten it up a little.

I wish I could have a full sized tree that looks like a swirl of green frosting with sprinkles. I'd just take little nibbles every day.

Everyone knows that corgis are the BEST dogs in the world. NO ARGUING! It's the absolute truth! Combine the best dog ever with what may be the best dessert ever and let's all be careful, we don't want to be dividing by zero here.

I would have killed for these cupcakes when I was ten. Mooooooom! Where's my time machine?!

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!

Good smelling bath melty bombs that look good enough to eat? I'll take a dozen!

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.

I like pastries and cakes that are modeled off stationary or wallpaper or fabric patterns. I'm not saying these birds are derived from another source but wouldn't an apron with these little guys on it just be the sweetest thing ever?

When I was a kid I was lucky enough to have family friends with a sailboat. It's been a while since I had a chance to cruise around the Salish Sea, but these cupcakes take me right back to my time on the waves. Do you guys like sailing?

In my mind, the days of the dinosaur looked just like this with lots of bright colors and bright beady eyes and friendly faces. Hey, where's my neon pink dinosaur saddle? I want to go for a sweet ride.

I'll kiss you all over, you're so sweet.

If these cupcakes aren't all dressed up and ready for a little girl's 6th birthday party, I don't know who is.

Hey pony lovers! This is for you! sprinkles and balloons and pink and strawberry cupcakes and, and, and, it's all just so happy!
