Current Obsession: Cupcakes

by Leave a Comment

I have died and gone to cupcake heaven. Cupcakes in a tiny cupcake box heaven. Did I mention that the box is tied with a hot pink bow? And adorned with a little crystal?

Bizarre. I know. But I am obsessed with taking pictures of food... And, don't roll your eyes... I know I'm not the only one! Nearly everytime I'm about to consume something scrumptious, I snap a quick pic with the camera on my cell phone or my Nikon.  And... this would all be for naught... If I didn't share the pictures with you. So, enjoy! Drool, dream, and live vicariously through what I've ... Read the Post
