People cannot help but smile when they look at a cupcake. In fact, I bet you smiled as soon as you saw the picture before you even read the blog post. I'm not sure whether it is the array of icings or assortment of colorful sprinkles that has a charming effect on people. On the other hand, maybe it is the prospect of being able to eat a delicious sweet treat. I came across an interesting quote about cupcakes which adds to the dessert's cheery and friendly qualities: "Friends are like cupcakes in my pantry of memories."

The Thanksgiving left overs are finished and the holiday has past in a blur. The malls are decorated with bright and sparkling Christmas decorations. Shoppers are arriving at stores in droves and shop with mixed emotions of cheer and stress as Christmas music plays over the loudspeakers in every store. People run through their wish lists and wonder what to get for Aunt Sue? How about Uncle Joe? Are my cookies good enough or do the neighbors expect a gift? The Christmas countdown as already began with a mere 22 days left. With 9 days left in the semester, students are worried about exams but eagerly ready to take the feat and finish the semester. Trees are up everywhere and brighten up peoples home's and store front windows. Christmas cakes, cookies, candies and every sweet imaginable are being popped out of ovens in kitchens everywhere. The Christmas season is in full swing and it really is "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"
