Let Them Eat Cupcakes!

Have you noticed the craze about CUPCAKES? There are cupcake bakeries popping up all over the country, more and more cupcake design books and cookbooks are in stores, and you know they are big and soon to be bigger when Martha Stewart devotes an entire week and a contest to cupcakes. What do you think of all the sudden fuss over cupcakes? Is it warranted or overblown by fashion setters?

I was looking through Martha's contest pages and I found many outstanding entries, both elegant ones and whimsical ones. There were more than two thousand entries! Here are some of my favorites. Which ones would you vote for?

  4. I stopped by Gloria's blog and she has added her 10 recommendations for excellent blogs (all foodies), and they sound excellent indeed. I've already visited several and I had such great visits. Be sure to visit Gloria to see the list if you are interested in food blogs. She also has blogs from all over the world and all types of food. THANK YOU, GLORIA!
