Great new blog about cupcakes is on the web called the cupcake decorations club. It’s a how to blog about decorating, presentation and troubleshooting everything to do with cupcakes. Looks like the author has been writing since Jan 09.
This picture came from the site. I love how symmetrical the cupcakes are displayed in this picture.
The white monogramed “m” on the lime background really pops against the purple ribbon on each tier.

My obsession with macaron has been validated for the 2009 wedding/event season.
Just yesterday in Toronto newspaper, the Globe and Mail, journalist Deirdre Kelly wrote about macaron assertively stating “the cupcake is dead, gone to that confectionery in the sky to join Krispy Kreme, another nostalgic food fad that suffered from overexposure. In its place is the macaron….” In her short article “Let them Eat Macaron” Deirdre welcomes new Toronto macaron-making duo Allyson Meredith Bobbitt and Sarah Bell. I can assure you that while I have not tasted their macaron, I have studied with them both at Bonnie Gordon School of Confectionary Arts in Toronto and they are extremely talented women. Sarah and Allyson’s new brand, Bobbette & Belle is a by order only shop specializing in macaron. On the company site, you can choose your macaron shell and filling. The combinations are endless.
It is always nice when your predictions are validated by mass media.
However, I will say that I will not give up cupcakes all together because macaron are making their star appearance as the new “it-girl” on the event scene. Last month I was in Costa Mesa, California and thouroughly enjoyed my Sprinkles cupcake. Equally fantastic as a decor/treat to offer guests.

I say be it colourful macaron or delightfully sweet cupcakes, both garner suprise, awe and enjoyment.
