sweets for your sweet

I love to bake. Pies are really my thing, but ever since my first trip to Magnolia Bakery in NYC I have been trying to perfect the cupcake. I recently found this great website called Layer Cake that has THE cutest cupcake liners and toppers. They also have great boxes - hot pink boxes for a single cupcake and the little insert to put inside so your pretty cupcake doesn't tumble around.

I made these cute cupcakes last night so that Tom could take them to work. They were packaged individually in the hot pink boxes. I am sure he loved delivering little pink boxes all over his building! But they were soooo cute!

I hope that everyone is able to enjoy some sweets with your sweet this Valentine's Day!

Do cupcakes = stress relief?

Right this minute I think I might give my right foot for just one of these cupcakes. I am not typically a stress eater, I tend to not want to eat when I am stressed or anxious. But for some reason right now - I want a Magnolia cupcake BAD! Last time we were in New York we stayed at a place that was literally right around the corner from the Bleeker St. location. It was perfect. What I wouldn't give to be there right now...
