Ok Mom and Dad, cover up Bobby and Sally's precious eyes; this is one for the grown-ups. One of our lovely customers, Beth, sent us this poem she wrote, inspired by a Capote cupcake! Thanks for allowing us to share it!
I flirted with you
from behind the glass
stealing glances
licking my lips in anticipation
once I got you home
I took a long loving look
so delicate
your nonpareils sprinkled about
the surface like jewelry
I gently lifted your pleated paper skirt
I teased you with my tongue
licking just the tip of the icing
the sweetness
the richness
the texture on my tongue
so smooth and creamy
ah, the first bite was heavenly
I savored it
letting the flavor linger
in my mouth
sucking the icing through my teeth
but then hunger took hold
I opened wider
bit harder
consuming you
in a fog of sugar and butter
but then quickly
ah, too quickly
you were gone
and now I am left with just
the perfect memory
and the taste of you
still fresh on my mind
as I contemplate another...
Woohoo, let's hear it for Beth's poetic chops! *snaps* Our Capotes are blushing and asked me to tell you they're wonderfully flattered and swept off their feet. :)
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
