where did this cupcake obsession come from?

Desserts are subject to trends just like anything else. And cupcakes are currently the dessert equivalent to Alexander Wang stretchy singlets, statement heels, and harem pants. A friend's nutritionist advised her - if it's soft, white and fluffy, there's absolutely no nutritious value at all. At least that doesn't rule out cookies and chocolate.

Dear Wrangler. This does not make me want to buy your jeans. The opposite in fact. Kisses. ana b.

    Kisses an hugs flying your way :) And tankies for the award a while back :)

  5. Can't say nutritional value is particularly high on the priority list when digging into cupcakes anyway! But then, all things sweet and lovely are super trendy right now, and that does sum up cupcakes. You look fantastic in pink and grey, I really like that combination.

  9. I am a mad for cupcakes too! I know! It's silly to obsess about a particular food, but yes, I love cupcakes.

    Lol. I love your letter to Wrangler!
    It must be a man who directs/makes/designs the ad.

  11. I really hope that big stack of cupcakes is somehow for ME!

    And I agree about that Wrangler ad... :( So gross when people try to sell things by showing off naked bodies. What exactly are they selling? Butts? Ewww/hahaha.

  13. Oh WOW; LOVE your cupcakes!! I'm so hungry now; send me one, pretty please:D

    LOVED your ring! And YES! I agree with you on that ad! How tasteless and demeaning!

    Ps/ I do agree, that Edie Sedgwick was not the best role model (I can assure you, she's not my top 3; but she's such a refreshing change from the usual prim and proper actresses of her era; a real non conformist!)

  14. Pretty necklace, Ana! It's so you :)

    "A friend's nutritionist advised her - if it's soft, white and fluffy, there's absolutely no nutritious value at all. At least that doesn't rule out cookies and chocolate." Haha! ;)
    Cupcakes are such magical little things and your plateful looks scrumptious!

    I agree, that's definitely not the most appealing advertisement.

    Ahh they look so good!
    And eugh that is a pretty gross advert...

  22. I love that I can eat a cupcake and have absolutely no dishes to do afterward.

    And come ON wrangler! If I wanted to show off my butt to everyone I'd pay a lot less money for some ill-fitting forever 21 jeans or something. Ridiculous advertisement.

  24. You have to use milk and eggs when making cupcakes, and those are both very good for you, hence

    cupcakes = good for you.

    Math is fun!!
