sweets n' treats

Vanilla Mini Delights Cupcake via The Hummingbird Bakery

Last week I had the craziest idea to give up all sweets [yes, ALL] for lent. Tomorrow will mark my first whole week without any type of sweets, but let me tell you it has been the longest week ever! [I literally have dreams of eating chocolate fudge brownies + vanilla bean ice cream]. I knew this was going to be a huge challenge for me, but I honestly never put into consideration how many sweets on a day to day basis are thrown at ya! Now, I've realized if I don't have any sweets in front of me [or hidden away in the house] it does get a little easier. But boy when you're at a restaurant and somebody in your party orders a delicious slice of pie or a chocolate lava cake drizzled with a raspberry glaze - I really just want to give up altogether. Period. So, I've decided to torture myself a little more with pictures of some oh-so-delicious treats from a few of my favorite blogs below. 

peace, love, pugs, & cupcakes... LOTS of CUPCAKES,
