A Salute to Cupcake Tuesday!

Here's a venture from what's becoming a baby blog....

This past weekend Jack and I had a quick field trip to a friend's baby shower. This was an exciting time because first, we ventured out of the house on our own and second, I got to meet and talk with one of the creators of Cupcake Tuesday.

I think Cupcake Tuesday is a neat thing. A few months back, two of Dave's coworkers decided they wanted to experiment with the dessert Sex & the City made exciting... cupcakes.

This also coincided with a time when the business world was going through layoffs, cutbacks, and furloughs. Everyone, everywhere was having a rough time and had a grim outlook. So, the bakers decided to get creative and bring their experiments into work.

As you can imagine, the sweet treats became highly anticipated in the workplace. The ladies would tweet out the upcoming cupcake of the week and now, Cupcake Tuesday even has its own blog. Several fans, including me, are encouraging the ladies to take their talent to the next level....which probably wouldn't make more money than journalism, but at least it would be a sweeter job.

I had a cupcake at the baby shower and loved it.

Most of all, I love the idea of Cupcake Tuesday. Two friends who take an idea and a chance to expand their creativity... and use it all to make people feel better. Now, that's sweet.
