Inedible candy is kind of a cruel tease, but it sure is pretty!

Looks like Hello Kitty here has gotten a jump start on summer vacation and hit the beach. Maybe you should use a higher SPF nest time kitty! And reapply often!

There has been some pretty severe snowy weather all over the country lately, let's take advantage of it! Have you ever made your own ice cream out of the snow in your own yard? I haven't, but I'm hoping we get another dumping of powder at some point so I can try my hand at this nearly instant, customizable snack. Talk about being seasonal, this is one of the most ecological dishes I've ever seen!

A bright mound of frosting with a dash of sprinkles is like a party on a cake. I'd be willing to be eaten if I could get invited to a party like that.

Do you think it would be possible to resist trying one of each?

One little chocolate donut and a few gulps of milk sounds like just the right amount of sweet goodness to reward yourself for getting your taxes done. Go ahead, you deserve it.

Stacking up a few brownies and putting sprinkles on them makes them about a hundred times more fancy.

Congratulations for what? Just for being you and being awesome and appreciating these amazing cupcakes as much as I do. I think that deserves a round of applause, a firm handshake, a hearty slap on the back, a shot of fine bourbon, a Cuban cigar. Good work friends. Looking at sweets all day isn't easy, I know.

This taps right into that toddler part of the brain where you want to pick up a whole pie and smash your face into it. Taking a big ol' spoon and jamming it into a jar of cake and frosting and having no regard for the mess you're inevitably going to make sounds so childishly satisfying. Where's my big spoon?

It's been a long time since I had strawberry milk, and while I don't remember it with particular fondness, There is something appealing about a strawberry flavored cookie with a creamy sweet filling. I'd almost even prefer it if it was a little artificial tasting.

Did you guys see the transit of Venus across the sun yesterday? I'm sure all the sunflowers felt a little extra love! Let's all eat sunflower cookies to celebrate!

As much as I say I want to totally start decorating all my food and making it look all cute and everything, I have to admit, I never follow through. Someday I'll make an adorable sandwich, guys, I promise!

Imagine waking up on Sunday morning after a super fun night out on the town for your friend's birthday. You're exhausted, you're sore, your voice is hoarse from proclamations of merriment, your hair smells funny and you still have one sock on. Now imagine that this donut appears on your nightstand. Feeling a bit better now? I thought so.

Brownies are pretty exciting on their own, then you put them on a stick and everybody gets all jazzed, then you dip them in colored candy and it gets kind of swoony in here and THEN you come out with all sorts of sprinkles and I'm pretty certain we've lost several to a case of the vapors.
