I was downloading some pictures of my latest cake pops and got sucked into the fun of photo shopping!

All You.com has an easy overview for frosting a cupcake.  Sounds simple, I know...but there really are quite a few different ways of doing it, and the right way, too. 

I love to look at these pretty blogs that show clean, perfectly pressed dresses, worn by sweet little girls, with blonde, gleaming ringletts, and high polished matching Mary Janes....

There are beautifully appointed homes, happy mothers with beautiful aprons, smiling and cooing at their perfect little offspring, and pets that are dressed in the latest pet outfits, who don't ever shed and are always perfectly posed in their custom made dog houses.  Or castles, rather. 

 The party vingettes rival the likes of Martha Stewart, and would put Nate Burkus to shame.  EVERYTHING is immaculate, and appears to be  handmade, or at the very least was purchased from some fancy dance coutoure boutique, and I don't where these Stepford Godesses are, or came from, but God, do I want that life! Lol.

I'm so jealous of this other world...It's so far from the realities of my constantly chaotic world, where crumbs accumulate by the minute, dog hair lines the corners of every wall, (despite my daily vacuuming war) the children are far from clean, and are definitely not wearing anything that would even remotely pass for couture.  

Anyway, thank you to Kara's Party Ideas, who shared these images on her blog, and has given me aspirations for a more Martha-like world,  one where all is perfect, the house is always clean, and I have a  personal photographer following me through my beautiful, hand crafted, picture book life. 

Until Next Time,

Isn't this so cute?  I saw this on A Baked Creation and I had to share.

Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit....first of all, isn't this name great?  I think it's so catchy.  Secondly, this beautiful  Cherry Bomb with Meringue Frosting is one of the Cupcake Bakeshop's many awesome recipes.  Third, and lastly, I find the word Meringue to be one of the most impossible words to spell, and if my life depended on it's proper spelling, I would wouldn't even bother trying.  I'd just start digging a hole!  Anyway...Isn't this cupcake fabulous?  You simply have to check out the recipe.  I think you'll be in for a surprise!
