pink

Is it colored cakes? Perfect frosting? It's too amazing, I can't even wrap my brains around it.

I'm beginning to think that there is no "too far" when it comes to worshipping Hello Kitty. You can find nearly any product, any food, any anything with her sweet little beady-eyed face on it. An incredible feat of branding!

This is the essence of all a cupcake is. It's girly, pink, shiny, fluffy, sweet, a little crunchy, just utter perfection.

Regardless of your feelings about gender roles, there's no denying that grease-spots on your clothes are inexcusable.

The one super ridiculous indulgence I allowed myself on my recent trip to Paris was a visit to Ladurée on the Champs-Élysées. It's spendy and extravagant and silly but how can I, in good conscience, run this site about cute foods and not eat at the mecca of cute food-dom? I only had a few macarons, and they were exquisite! I wish I could have packed my suitcase full of pink meringue goodies like this one but it wasn't to be.

I have a good friend who doesn't really have any furniture in his apartment. He has a computer and a desk and a million musical instruments but nothing to sit on. I so badly want to make him a whole set of living room furniture he can't use.
