i've always had an unhealthy obsession with eating cake. i blame heredity. when i was a kid and my grandmother would bake us a cake, it would always arrive minus at least one piece. she claimed she had to "make sure it tasted okay." as an adult i am not very fond of baking cakes, but i sure have no problem making sure they taste okay. that goes for cupcakes, too, which have become quite trendy in the last few years. in fact, i'm certain i am single-handedly keeping the cupcake specific bakeries of the bay area in business. whenever the cupcake fairy makes a delivery to me - which happens really quite often - i try to show some restraint. i generally pull out a camera of some sort, and take a few photos (usually to make friends jealous) before digging in. today however, i went a little further. i pulled out the cupcakes that arrived last night from sprinkles (the popular l.a. bakery which now has a palo alto location), set up some lighting and reflection right there in my kitchen, and started photographing these yummy concoctions. this is one trend i have no problem being part of. so, cupcake bakery owners of the world, hire me! i'll even take cake as dough!

Very clever! And oh so true - the herdity part! In fact cupcakes are on my agenda for the weekend - to bake (and maybe eat one or two!) Oh course, my spouse will eat his share, too, just without icing - my favorite part!
