strawberries

I like the option of having just a tiny bit of a dessert. That way I can try lots of desserts without feeling like a total glutton.

I like the move to include bits of real strawberries in the frosting on these cupcakes. I bet it's light and fluffy and not too sweet and has just the right little tart edge. If I drool on my keyboard one more time it's gonna break again.

These look so freaking delicious. They'd be even better if they were hollowed out and then sealed up again so the Nutella blast was a surprise. I've got some fruit engineering work to do.

Sure a plastic package of berries and a can of whipped cream are okay, but this makes everything special.

We have several trays like this in my home. Trays that are PERFECT for a romantic breakfast in bed. Have I ever found a lovely romantic breakfast in my bed? No. I have not. Though there was that one time I was really sick and got soup in bed. I guess that counts.

Go ahead, bite my face!

Fill a pie with berries and rum and I'm there. It's like a delicious girly cocktail with a crust!

After the holiday weekend indulgences I've been through, I'm looking forward to some lighter fare. Of course this is still a dessert and not exactly as healthy as a salad, but don't fresh berries sound amazing right now?

I need to just keep reminding myself that the rain is good and necessary and soon it will stop and everything will stay lush and green all summer long and it will be warm and beautiful. I'm so glad my lunch can help me remember.

I'm not the girliest girl who ever girled but I love having girly get togethers with my other ladies where we drink champagne and dish about boys and watch movies and eat ridiculous girly snacks like pink dipped strawberries. I think it's high time for another girl day!

Ooh just think about how extra sweet and juicy the berries get when they warm up a little bit in the fryer! I'm not usually a huge proponent of frying everything I can get my hands on, but a tart, crisp berry in a crispy light layer of fried batter is irresistible!

If you had told me ten years ago that I'd be able to inject an entire portion of strawberry shortcake into my mouth all at once without getting my hands dirty, I would have thought you were crazy. The future is now.

I would definitely like to give a big hug and a kiss to anyone who delivers these to my office in the morning. hint hint

This is an awesome way to throw a party, with personalized favors and place settings and pink pink pink!

Though I'm usually a huge fan of fresh strawberries on a cupcake, I can't be mad at these perfect gum paste berries and flowers.

I want to know what is deep in these chocolate cups, underneath all the chocolate swirls and curls and the delicious strawberries. What lurks there in the depths? Cake? Custard? A milkshake? What do you think?
