I have a confession to make…….I’m not a Star Wars enthusiast.  In fact I have only seen 2 of the films, or is that episodes?  I don’t know.  But, I do know that the release of the new movie is a BIG deal, so I thought I would share these great stencils from Williams Sonoma!

Time to start working on that Christmas list.  This coffee spoon from Etsy’s EveOfJoy would warm any cupcake lover’s heart!

We found this beauty on the island of Murano in Italy.  Naturally, it had to come home with me!

We are huge fans of Cupcake Wine, and were thrilled to learn that they have introduced a new red!  Welcome Black Forest!!

My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip of a lifetime to Northern Italy and Southern France.  We enjoyed so many delectable treats from every Patisserie and Boulangerie  we came across, but we didn’t eat a single cupcake.  Why?  Because we couldn’t find any!!  The cupcake image was very prolific, advertising everything from shoes to mall anniversaries, but the actual edible treat was only seen in the large La Rinascente department store in Milan.  So what do you make of the fact that the image is everywhere, but the real thing is not?
