Nom nom nom

I usually get some treats for my monkies when picking them up from the camp. 2 weeks ago, I decided to try out the cupcakes place that I often pass by - Dolled Up Cakecakes at Meadowvale Town Centre. I got 6 mini-ones... rainbow, vanilla, chocolate, key lime, cookies & cream and banana. They all tasted good and my fav was the key lime. My monkies loved the rainbow 'coz all 7 colors were layered nicely instead of getting mixed together. Since then, I always wanna go back for more. Of course, my belly asks me to better behave :P
 
Daddy monkey has reached his 1 year milestone at his current job this week, and he's pretty excited about it. So I've decided to celebrate it with a couple of cupcakes. Hee... got a good excuse. Today, I got the toasted coconut and raspberry bliss... nom nom nom... Most of the cupcakes out there got really sugary icing, but this place doesn't. I would say this place is better than the famous one located at FCP downtown.
 
Before they went into our tummy, I did a few fun shots of the cupcakes. Still remember from my Small Product course that cupcakes and donuts are the two difficult items to shoot - swirls, holes, cuppies, etc. They all create shadows and it's not easy to get rid of them.
 
Below are my shots in 2 different styles. What do you think?

2012 Oakville Family Ribfest

Yummy yummy yummy... the past weekend (June 22 thru 24) was the Oakville Family Ribfest organized by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar. Numerous award winning rib vendors there. Is that the only thing about this rib fest? Of course not, that's why it's so much FUN to be there. There were lots of bouncing castles, face painting, entertainment on the stage and they are all free. There must be something there to make your family members at all ages being happy there.


Wait wait wait... are we missing something here? Why's there a cupcake showing in the picture? Y-E-S... other than the ribbers, there are also vendors selling corn on the cob, ice cream, funnel cakes, fried bananas, blooming onions, lollipops and... cupcakes. The one featured here is the Margarita Lime by Sweet Temptations Cupcakery. Wooo... mouth-watering... hee...  this year, they've brought us other favors including: Chocoholics Anonymous, Pink Lemonade, Fresh Ontario Strawberry, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Cookies & Cream. Amazing... 

After this fun- and food-filled fest, we're all happy and mom can skip a cooking evening. What a wonderful day!

p.s. Thanks to Katie from Sweet Temptations Cupcakery presenting us the nice cupcake :)
