Cupcake Monday! The Pretty Ones + Porcelain Roses and Heartbreak
Let's just bask in the prettiness of these cupcakes which appear to be wrapped in ketchup cups! (Also brilliant for Jell-o shooters I recall from back in the day. I wonder if they stole theirs from McDonald's.) I was going to post more but these mini beauties really do it for me and so I don't really want to look at anything else (I'm loyal that way). Hope you don't mind.
The icing roses remind me of those tiny, delicate porcelain flowers. I have a silver anchor necklace just covered with them, I got it in Paris from Les Bijoux de Sophie. I came close to a public hissy fit when I was at a restaurant in Montmartre and its long pendant got hooked under the edge of the table so when I went to stand up it sheered off some of the roses. Augh! I'm still not over it. It stings. Although, it did teach me a lesson that things don't need to be so precious and I even tried to convince myself that it was more interesting that way. I had a story! Not a good one, but a story nonetheless.
I love its pretty take on the cheesy sailor tattoo. I still wear it and tell myself it's more beautiful in its accidental asymmetry.
And if those cupcakes are yours please do let us know as I found them with no credit given, for shame!
Those cupcakes are far too pretty to eat. Your necklace is gorgeous as well.

Love the pendant...and the cupcakes!
I wouldn't have noticed the missing roses if you didn't point them out, so that's a good sign.

Oh those cupcakes are sensational - and so dainty! I'm often slightly in awe of the skill it must take to craft something so delicate and frequently wish I didn't have butterfingers!
I love your pendant - even with the unceremonious sheering off of some of the roses, just gorgeous and such a quirky way to wear nautical! :-)
