strawberries

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

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 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.

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?

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

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.

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

Go ahead, bite my face!

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

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.

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!

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.

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 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 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!
