Just in time for Mother's Day...a little sweet something for you. Brooklyn-based Whimsy & Spice creates handmade sweets that combine aromatic spices and unique flavors...and they have an Etsy shop filled with their goodies for delivery outside of Brooklyn!
{Thanks Mari!}
If you've been reading this blog for a little while, you may already know my weakness for tiny things. and sweet things. So, combine them together and it's basically the perfect party for my taste buds. Check out these mini gems from Kumquat Cupcakery in Brooklyn...yum...
Three words...OH-MY-GOODNESS. I could live, breathe, and sleep in a sea of mini cupcakes from Whiskie Bits in Oakland, California. I've never had them, but the photo makes me want to dive in head first. I seriously may have to move to Northern California for these cupcakes...or at least set up a cot right outside...yum. Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm back from my {fun, yet rainy} trip to Portland and San Francisco! Despite the gloomy weather, it was an amazing time spent with friends doing two of my favorite things...shopping around design stores and eating at great places. I'll hopefully have some pics to share later once I see what ended up on my camera...

I love these tea tin gift sets by Theodor Tea...stacks of 5 tins in every set...available at Jin Patisserie.
The tiniest parfaits from Bubo in Barcelona, Spain...
I had a photo shoot the other day for a client and put together this little cake which made me so happy. The cake was not the focus of the shoot, so we took a polaroid so I could preserve the sweetness forever. And, rest assured, the cake was quickly devoured soon after!

You know when you see something so cute you wanted to squeeze it? These cake sachets (fillled with lavender) by Norma Lynn Hood fall into that "squeezable" category...small...crocheted...<br>cakes...sweet! The best part is...Norma donates 100% of the proceeds to charity. The ornament versions of can be purchased in person or through mail order through Cat Seto. Super sweet for a wedding too! {via Shop Friends. Thanks Cat!}
Today's posts seem to be all about food, as I share with you my current guilty pleasure...
Tastespotting. The online site Tastespotting (by the folks of Not Cot) is by no means new, but lately I have been obsessed with it. You can quickly scan the pages for the newest bits of visual & delicious inspiration posted by readers. Here's a small selection...
Those of you who read Gourmet Magazine are probably very familiar with the photographer of Romulo Yanes, the magazine's photographic eye for nearly 25 years. I was salivating at the images from this month's feature, Home Sweet Homemade and wanted to share some of Romulo's other gorgeous work as well...
Last month I came across these beautiful chocolate mendiants by Eclat Chocolate. Of course, I noticed them for the beautiful textures and patterns pressed into each disk. But they are also delicious and beautifully packaged. With a high cacoa content, they're rich yet light...perfect for those who don't like their chocolate too sweet...
When I finally get to visit Seattle, Trophy Cupcakes and Party will certainly be on the top of my list! The daily & seasonal flavors are totally swoon-worthy...and the presentation so whimsical and witty...
...thoughts of sweet things make it so much better...
