Ready for Their Close-up

"To re-create the array of shades on the cover, divide a batch of buttercream and tint each portion, using the photograph as a guide. These colors were achieved by mixing shades of gel-paste food coloring, including deep pink, dusty rose, egg yellow, lemon yellow, mauve, orange, peach, sky blue, and violet."

Martha Stewart Living, February, 2009, "Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Multicolored Frosting"

The ladies who run the blog "Cupcakes Take the Cake" are only a few days behind me about Martha's February, 2009 issue. They have a good excuse -- they were busy at the taping of Martha's upcoming cupcake showcase, scheduled for January 21. (Please check your local listings!)

Unlike When Pigs Fly, they are All Cupcakes, All the Time. They took the time to photograph the cover I gushed about, as well as the entire article inside.

Martha's website still hasn't moved beyond the January issue; but with the upcoming cupcake extravaganza planned for television, your wait is almost over.

Cupcakes are beautiful because they transcend the food barrier. They transfix our taste buds but they also lead us to thoughts of love.

Cupcakes are symbols of what brings women and men together.

Congratulations Arizona Cardinals. Enjoy yourselves and your favorite cupcake tonight.
