If you have been engaged in lifestyle media as of late you might have noticed the hottest indulgence right now is the cupcake.  Its social stock has been increasing for a few years now - and it will continue to rise {pun entirely intended}.

The cupcake found its humble beginnings at children’s birthday parties and bake sales and hit main stream popularity a few years ago due to a little show called Sex and the City.  Since Carrie made such a fuss - so has the rest of the world.  Cupcake shops have opened up in every major city, people have dedicated blogs to the tiny delights and we see them at all events, weddings, bridal showers, Christmas parties, everywhere, and from casual chic to fancy schmancy.

The cupcake has also inspired other miniatures of our favourite desserts, tiny brownie concoctions, and stacks of delectable cookies seen here and created by Elaine’s Cake Boutique in Toronto.  One success of the small sweet treat is that they are portion controlled and we don’t have to suffer too much guilt as we devour  just one…

Hopefully this will inspire you to think of something unique and petite to add to your soiree!
