What a day for a cupcake

As is typically the case, I find myself at a bit of a crossroads. I am a connoisseur of cupcakes, but not a "foodie" and an appreciator of style but not a maven. Strangest of all is that I don't have much hope to work in either field, lest I am a 60 year old woman with some time on her hands and a sweet shoppe (double p and e, so necessary). By that time I plan to have developed an endearing softness and southern accent - ultimate qualities for both grandmothers and sweet shoppe owners. Of course, before any of that I will globetrotting, writing, non-profiting... 

But, enough with plans for now. On to more practical things. (Like cupcakes, no?)

A cupcake is a peaceful cake. Evenly divided, perfectly portioned, yet still enticingly indulgent. A flavor for any palate, a design for any aesthetic. Worth sharing with the world, I'd say. 

Still, for me, the cupcakes are not enough. That is where the compromise comes in. While the cupcake is a compromise of desserts, this blog is a compromise of the several competing aspects of my life. My dessert obsession, love of writing (journalism and otherwise), fashion cravings, and worldly wonderings shall all come together for once in an attempt to create something, someone, worth knowing.

Bon appetit,
