Are we tired of cupcakes yet? I'm certainly not as I love my sweets (If you haven't noticed by now.) Here are some edible "little works of art" I've stumbled upon...

If I could escape the fog of San Francisco,
Perhaps I'd hide out in a vintage caravan and have a fancy English breakfast...
or a pink Gypsy Caravan...
I'd invite all of you to a party delivered by Enjoy Cupcakes, and
Then we could pay a visit to Fresher Than Fresh Sno Cones in Kansas City for some yummy flavored snow cones such as watermelon basil, lime mint and ginger rose. All served out of their renovated 1957 Shasta trailer.
How about climbing up in a tree house?
Bedtime in the forest...so warm and comfy...
The Caketress, a boutique cake company based in Canada, created an exclusive dessert bar shoot for New York-based event planner, Amy Atlas. I nearly flipped when I saw Amy's blog post this morning. {I've definitely been in "sweet tooth" land lately!}
This all grey and white chic dessert bar also included pearls and lace; lace wrapped pumpkin cupcakes, macarons, malted chocolate pearls, and licorice white cotton candy! Oh my!
Am I dreaming?
Are you kidding? Bubble gum, pixie stix and cotton candy cupcakes? I'm in!
Wait, is this a disco? No, it's a restaurant/dessert lounge. White patent leather banquettes and colored “gumball” lights create a Willy Wonka-meets-modern soda fountain effect.
This place is not just for kids. They serve candy cocktails and have an extensive beer and wine menu. How about a single cupcake and wine pairing?
These cotton candy cupcakes send me over the top! These pretty blue babies have little cotton candy "pops" on them!
Remember Pixie Stix when you were growing up? How about cupcakes dusted with Pixie Stix?
They even cater to our four-legged friends...
Although I haven't tasted a cupcake yet, you know I will be back there soon. I did bring my husband home some cotton candy. This is my new favorite place, if only just to look!
Forgive Vito's bad behavior...
$27 (yes, $27) for an organic dog birthday cake from a dog bakery. Hope they enjoyed it!

Speaking of dog parties...I had to share this cute "dessert party" that Kristy of Posh Pixels Design Studio created for her new adopted puppy, Ozzy.
The theme was “Meet the Puppy,” to introduce Ozzy to her family & friends. There was "doggy" food and "people" food.
So beautifully done...
Biscuits & rawhides for the puppies, candy & treats for the humans...
How creative is this?
For the humans...
For the dogs...
Love that party! So talented!
You may remember an earlier post of mine raving about one of my favorite chocolatiers, Diane of Maison Bouche. Was I excited to see their new Spring line of chocolats! Divine!
"For 'Les Fleurs,' I've always admired Grandville, who was a celebrated artist of 19th century France. His "Court of Flora or Les Fleurs Animées" shows flowers personified. The collection is redolent of the spirit of French Romanticism."
"For 'Botanicals,' I wanted a spring collection with beautiful floral images. I found them in 19th century hand-painted Botanical prints. I'm constantly amazed at how wonderful flowers are and this is a homage to their loveliness."
"For 'Couture et Confections,' I love love love the fashions of 18th century France - the tall wigs, the attention to detail people put into their attire, the richness of the fabrics, the colors. It was so wonderful!"
"For 'Marriage a la Mode,' I wanted to recreate the lavishness of early 19th Century Royal weddings with the tiered cake, precious jewels given to the bride from all over Europe, the ornate invitation, the beautiful clothing and the fairy tale feeling surrounding it all. These items would have been printed for the world to see. But I also wanted the Collection to appeal to couples getting married today, because we still carry on the same traditions."
Today is the 4th day of Passover and tomorrow night we'll be going to my cousin's house for a seder. If you've celebrated this holiday, you know one of the limitations...flour. This makes it quite tricky as to what you can eat. Take for instance, desserts...not too many without flour...
