I got an email from a very close relative about my post and she informed me that cupcakes have been my favorite food since birth and that something that has been around for at least 34 years ( shhhhh don't tell anyone how old I am) is not a fad but, tradition. So I guess I need to renig on my statement a bit. My point is, you know the one even my relative thought I missed, is that trends are timeless and things we invest our time in to create are worth doing right. If you love cupcakes, use them and invest in the companies that create cool stuff that you can be proud of years from now. I personally have always been more interested in the story and the people. Crafty Chica drove home this point better than I ever could by sharing why she wanted to make sure cupcakes were in her line. One of things I am humbled by is how much thought and personal experiences go into the things designers think up and manufacturers make for us to use in documenting our memories preserved for posterity. When you think about it, it is pretty darn cool. That is a trend I hope continues for a very long time.
