Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit

Well, after the past couple of days, I thought of taking a few days off blogging. Not only was I caught up in a horrible "blog event", but mostly I was saddened and shocked at the human nature I observed. I appreciate the nice unassuming comments I received during this time, these are truly people who know how to handle themselves in a crisis or conflict, but I am left wondering why some people have to handle themselves so inappropriately. It's a direct window to their true character and hopefully they will grow to see that and make a positive change. We can only hope that we as humans can state our cause, our opinion without being ugly.

I could use some comfort food. What about you?

How about a cupcake?

There has been so much talk about cupcakes. Cupcakes seem so innocent, like there are NO calories. There are cupcake bakeries, cupcake wedding cakes.........really who doesn't like cupcakes. They're like puppies and kittens. They brighten any day.

Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit is a great cupcake blog. I looked at a few and I kept coming back to hers. She a new mom, a software engineer by day, and bakes on her spare time.......what spare time you're probably thinking? I suspect this is down time for her, a creative escape. And what beautiful work she does. This cherry cupcake photo........to die for.

Her photos are amazing and I would LOVE to know what lens she's using.

Now if this cupcake doesn't restore my hope in man kind, I'm a gonner. I don't remember what flavor this is, but she does some crazy concoctions for more mature palettes. It's so beautiful, I'd have to try it. But really, I'm happy with vanilla......I love that color of green. I need to read up on how to get my frosting to do that. That fluffy whipped look.She is really good at showing you step by step on how she makes all these fancy cupcakes. She is a true cupcake artist. These S'more ones look down right illegal..........do I dare say that? If they are, I have no prior knowledge.You can kind of see how she has gram cracker crumbs in the bottom. Oh boy....stick a fork in me. I'm done.

Oh how I wish I didn't have a PTA meeting today. I would throw on my apron and make some cupcakes...........who am I kidding? I never wear an apron.
