They’re wonky. The jam is running down the
side. No two are the same. They sit quietly in anticipation, waiting to be
chosen.
The very best cupcakes in the world possess
these qualities because they are usually made by someone who loves you. Or like
these cupcakes, they are made by some very clever and dedicated women who make
and sell them at various markets, community events and fundraiser cake stalls.
These particular cupcakes were made for a small local community event some time
ago, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the sweet edible treasures.
Despite the very humble protestations from the women who made them, I could
tell they were just a little bit proud that someone had appreciated their home
made efforts.
Do not underestimate the power of a home
made cake. It has the potential to warm your heart and make you smile even
before you eat it.
They are beautiful. Like wildflowers as opposed to those at the florist. Oh and I know they taste waaaay better. How I love the generosity of the frosting. Thank you for this happy picture. Reminds me of your lovely cake illustrations.
