Oh my gooodness! The Bakery department at Whole Foods here in Memphis is quickly becoming my favorite hang-out for “eye candy”. Not men, mind you, but tempting treats like these!
Top row: Mini Cannoli, Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake Bitelette, Strawberry Mini Cupcake; Bottom row: Turtle Cupcake and Raspberry Rhapsody Cupcake
A couple of months ago, humongous cupcakes monopolized their display cases. So sometime between then and now, their selection expanded to Cannollis, mini cupcakes (maybe “dieters” suggested smaller portions?), and Chocolate-covered Cheesecake Bitelettes. It’s actually a good thing I’m not a cupcake kind-of-gal ’cause I’d be broke and weigh 10 extra pounds (okay, 12). However, I enjoy ogling all desserts, yes, even cupcakes. I’m not one to discriminate. Ogling is lotsa fun. It’s free and zero calories. Tearing myself away is another story.

And unlike last time, resistance was futile. :p
I had reason, I was celebrating (see my next post)!
Top row: Blondie Brownie Bitelette, Mini Chocolate Cupcake; Bottom row: Sundae Cupcake (aren’t they the cutest?!), Cookies & Cream Cupcake, Chocolate Cupcake with Choco Buttercream
Top row: More mini cupcakes and Brownie Bitelette; Bottom row: Carrot Cupcake, German Chocolate Cupcake, Yellow Cupcake
Top Row: Unlabeled treat, Mini Fruit Tartlette: Bottom: Strawberry Fields Cupcake, and Chocolate Cupcake topped with peanuts & banana chips
Stay tuned to find out which one of these I bought. I’ll give ya a hint: It wasn’t a cupcake.
I am actually a baker/cake decorator at the Whole Foods in Chapel Hill, NC! It’s a fun and dangerous profession, I tell ya…
Love your blog!
