Pinterest: Making People Want Cupcakes Since 2011

In workout news, on Tuesday I swam a mile (1,800 yards) and elliptical-led for 30 minutes.  Boring boring boring, I'm not a good swimmer blah blah nothing interesting to report about either of those things.  I'm here today to talk about a much more interesting topic:

So I dragged my feet for forever in joining Pinterest even though several people (but especially Leandrea) were highly advocating for it and saying how amazing it is.  Since joining I've noticed a serious trend going on in what I've been "pinning":

     

  

   

Does anyone notice a theme?  But while all these above things look absolutely delicious there are two items I've seen that I cannot stop thinking about.  Is it weird to daydream about dessert?  If being obsessed with dessert is wrong, I don't want to be right!


1) Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes.  Cadbury Creme Eggs are perhaps one of my most favorite candies EVER (yes I know they're quite controversial, people either love them or hate them).  Cadbury Mini Eggs rock too, by the way.  This leads me to believe I may need to do an "Ode to Candy" post (yes Almond Joys, I'm talking about you, you too Sour Patch Kids / Reese's Peanut Butter Cups / Swedish Fish / Caramel Apple Suckers / Peachie-O's).  Sorry, I got carried away.  These cupcakes have a full Cadbury egg cooked inside of them.  Must. Eat. Now.

2) Next up on the Must Eat List: A Double Stuff Oreo cooked inside a chocolate chip cookie.  Has anything ever looked so delicious ever before?  Is it weird I can't stop thinking about these?  Don't answer that.

It's apparently such a common problem that they even made a rule about it: 

So the big question is - who is going to make these things for me?

  

And now I'm going to go eat some cupcakes.  I'm out.

Do you use Pinterest?  What do you "pin"?  What's so great about it?  Has it increased your intake of cupcakes?
