Edible Art

I am an obsessed, mad keen cupcake-a-holic and eat, sleep and dream of nothing else. What is your favourite part of a cupcake?

Is it the sweet, velvety butter-cream frosting on your first lick? Or is it the moist and light cake that you bite into as it squishes between your teeth? Perhaps it is the sweet, buttery flavour of the cake with the hint of vanilla bean?

For me, it is the texture of it all. The crunch of the hundreds and thousands, the smoothness of the frosting and the moist and slightly stodgy cake as I chew. One never seems to be enough, but if you stop at one, the thrill of the next cupcake experience is enhanced, as if it is the first time. Much like your first kiss with a fresh love. There is a thrill of anticipation as your eyes feast on the colours and textures, a true work of art.

One that lasts only as long as the last bite but the memory of which lingers until the next art-feast. Yours in cupcake.
