I’m sorry, I know those are big words to put in front of cupcake, but I wouldn’t be truthful if I didn’t tell it like it is. I simply have had, since childhood, a long passionate amore with cupcakes. So many people just walk by the bakery and feel nothing, but not Betsy Baxter! These little faces of icing cuteness call to me. Those lions and bears look at me with their big chocolate eyes and say “remember us, old friend?” and I reply “yes, my sweet little darlings, how could I forget all that we’ve shared?!”

In my times of need, cupcakes have been there – to help me forget bad times, to thrill me with their chocolately goodness, to step up when my prom date cancelled 45 minutes before prom. These little miracles have never failed me. And I, in turn, have never let them down either. If they appear in my sightlines, I will consume them. It’s really that simple. Even if I’m on a diet, even if it’s bikini season and I’m not quite bikini body ready, I will never say no. I can’t! They are the little Richard Burtons to my Liz. The peanut butter to my jelly. The salt to my pepa. It’s a passion that’s greater than I and I don’t question it. It’s not my place to find the answer. This is God’s work and I am merely a player on his stage with a cupcake in each hand. I’d be going against His wishes not to eat them.

I think of all the women who beat themselves up for having one little treat and I eat cupcakes for them too. There’s no need to torture oneself like that. Life is too short and there are too many cupcakes to be eaten. I’m just thinning out the herd to help make room for more and to help keep bakers in business. We’re in a recession, don’t forget.

So go get yourself a big cupcake today and enjoy every bite of it! They are one of life’s little miracles and have taught me so much – to live passionately, to dream, to embrace surprise, to live a large life. I owe them a lot! Next time these little animal faces look up at you and smile, keep your heart open and take a big bite. They’re trying to teach you something and you better be listening with your heart and stomach!!
