strawberries

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?

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

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

Go ahead, bite my face!

Champagne, fresh fruit, jiggles, perfection! This looks so fresh and cooling and perfect paired with a glass of bubbly and some whipped cream. Man I'm glad I have a patio!

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.

Don't be such a humbug! Love is awesome!

We've got a sort of fake Spring going on here in Seattle. But it's really still winter and really still cold and there really still aren't any strawberries to be had. Come on berry season!

I know it's nowhere near Valentine's Day but that doesn't mean I can't throw a little pastry love to you guys. And on a brownie, no less! Yum yum!

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'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!

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.

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.

Remember kids, always be sure to extinguish flaming snacks and beverages before consuming. Just ask my right eyebrow. RIP Righty!

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!
