eating cupcakes with chopsticks

Q: What's sweet, savoury - and sashimi all over?

A: The ultra-adorable the sushi cupcake by Deidre Jean! This just cracks me up. What a great idea.

It was made using a recipe from a cookbook that I hereby nominate for the prize, "Best Cookbook Title EVER": Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.

Also of note in cupcakeland (ie. further evidence that cupcakes, vegan or otherwise, will take over the world), have a look at these hyper-real paintings by Anselmo Swan that were on display at Gallery Jones in Vancouver earlier this year.

He paints chocolate bars and their wrappers, as well as - yes! - cupcakes. His subject-matter looks suspiciously like it came from one of the the Cupcakes stores in Vancouver. Mmmm...
