Cupcakes and Chocolate

I've mentioned before that I am a big fan of cupcakes (here, for example). Yes the cake and icing is yummy, but that's not their only appeal.  I actually just think that cupcakes are kind of fun -- a perfect, pretty package of cake goodness and cuteness.

Baked by Melissa takes cupcake cuteness, though, to a whole new level. 

These literally bite-size beauties are absolutely delicious.  If you are in New York City, you have to stop by one of their locations.  The tie-dye cupcake with it's colorful sweetness is my favorite but cookie dough is a close second.    

And check out the newest member of the Baked by Melissa family -- cupcakes dipped in chocolate!  

I haven't tried them yet (yet being the operative word) but their packaging alone makes them purchase-worthy.  With their colorful graphic pattern, and knowing the rest of the Baked by Melissa products, I'm sure these are equally, if not more, delicious.
