I ♥Cupcakes!

How gorgeous and melt-in-your-mouth delicious are cupcakes?! The pretty frosting, cute decorations... there's just something special about a cupcake. Which explains the recent resurgence of the baked treats, with specialised stores popping up all over the place. Ever since Sex in The City began worshipping Magnolia Bakery in New York, people have beome obsessed. US chain Sprinkles Cupcakes has even started selling their signature mixes to the public so you can recreate the little goodies at home (available in the US only).

There are several high quality cupcake stores around Sydney. My Little Cupcake in Neutral Bay is a personal fave (we have used their cupcakes in several shoots and they don't last long in the office). They have three sizes, starting from $1.70 each, in either vanilla or chocolate sponge. They also have luscious lamingtons made with their special recipe which come in a variety of pastel colours, topped with shavings of coconut. Yum!

Cupcakes on Pitt, are a bit more extravagant in the flavour and decoration stakes, ranging from Lemon Meringue to Honeycomb and Tiramisu. At $3.50 each, they're great for a special treat.

In Brisbane, check out Cupcakes By K. They have a special "Crocs Rule" cupcake! And these gorgeous cupcakes came from Jan Power's Farmers Markets, Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm.

I've even discovered a blog all about cupcakes - now these girls are obsessed!

Does anyone else have a craving for a cupcake... ?
