To me, cupcakes are fashion. I've lived in the big city of Los Angeles and worked in the fashion industry.
I've traveled to Paris for inspiration..twice. And I want to go back. I ate a ton of pasta & gelato in Milan, Italy. I drank wine and watched the boys who weren't afraid to wear loud colored pants and carry man purses. I went crazy shopping at the night markets in the wee hours in Hong Kong. I've even given myself a facial in Iceland..in the famous Blue Lagoon. Now I am back in Wisconsin living near family, kind of navigating where my life is going next.
And I believe that my passion for all things fashion comes alive in my cupcakes. I really do truly believe that cupcakes are my calling. They allow me to design something so meaningful that you can *taste* it!
I remember when I was a little girl I used to draw pictures of women in clothing for hours upon hours. I dreamed of being a fashionista. I made magazines for my friends and handed them out in school. I wore things that most people laughed at. I even remember people telling me one day in junior high that it looked like I was wearing a tablecloth. But it was me....in a tie-dye shirt that my mom used to wear back in the 70s. I felt inspired. ♥ That's all that mattered to me. Maybe it did look like a tablecloth. But I was 12, and I was trying to find my niche.
I just stumbled upon one of my fashion drawings from back in the day........
and although somewhat embarrassing..I guess I can share!
So now to back up my theory of cupcakes as fashion:
