delectable cupcakes

We took a walk down to our local cupcakery yesterday, called 'The Flour Shoppe'. I simply love the inside decor of this shop, along with the beautiful natural lighting. The last time we went, my photos turned out so nice. And to be perfectly honest, I would use basically any excuse to eat a cupcake and take a few pictures!

I don't think I mentioned it here, but my nice 3 month old lens (50mm f/1.8 ll) fell apart in my hands at Lilah's (ODS playgroup) birthday party last month. I took it back to the shop where I bought it and they were pretty astonished at how it fell apart, figuring it was more than likely a manufacturer issue and covered under warranty. So it has been sent to Canon and dear only knows when I'll get it back - 8 weeks they said and then because the parts are all from Japan, that could also add delays, plus we have a postal strike in Canada at the moment which will add even further delays! All that to say I ended up going out on Monday night and buying the same one again! I just can't waste all my summer months without that lens - it's THAT good!

Anyway, my beautiful funny crazy girl eat TWO cupcakes, yes she did, a raspberry chocolate and a vanilla bean! Colour me surprised, as she isn't normally a cake eater.

Is it obvious I couldn't choose my favourite pictures? I know, I'm sorry!
Without furthur ado, almost ALL the cupcake pictures...

  6. Those cupcakes look delicious! And Lilah is just as cute as a button! I love all of these photos, especially the one where she looks like she's rolling her eyes, and the one where she's laying sideways with cupcake on her sweet little face, ha ha.

  7. Oh these are so sweet! I can see why you couldn't choose a favourite - they are all wonderful!

    So sorry to hear about the lens falling apart. I had to laugh, though, about you buying a new one ASAP. I can relate! I am totally addicted to my 85 mm 1.8 that I can't imagine any length of time without it.

  10. Beautiful photos! Creamy is the word that comes to mind (for both the photos and the cakes).

    Maybe I should stop trying to get Lily to eat her fruits and vegetables and take her out for a cupcake once in a while! Looks like fun!

  13. Beautiful pictures!

    Can I ask, did your new lens hold up? I'm debating over the 1.8 and 1.4 at the moment and have heard mixed reviews of the 1.8's build. I was just wondering if you've had the same problem since?
