Sweetness.

There's something comforting about the knowledge that a tiny piece of cake with a generous dollop of icing brings so much unadulterated joy. 

It also brought me a heck of a lot of giggles as I took these photos. Whoever said sugar is bad needs some perspective.

Yes, it was lovely, but I was pretty grateful when the cloying effect of all that sweetness finally hit. Haven didn't even finish her cake and Sonja didn't even ask for another cupcake. 

Then there was just the stickiness.
