I may be odd, but I actually prefer salty to sweet. Given a choice between a bag of chips (or cheese doodles... mmmmmmmmmmm....) and a plate of cookies, I'd grab the chips in a heartbeat. That's not to say I don't enjoy sweets, I just prefer snacks. When it comes to cake though, nothing beats a cupcake. Just something about the bite-sized nature of it, I think. It's small enough to hold in your hand, they're fun, there's always frosting on 'em. Just good stuff. Plus, how much more impressive is it to bring a big box of cupcakes to a party, rather than some stuffy old cake that you need to find a knife and slice into?
But have you ever had to choose between bringing dessert or flowers to a party or gathering? Yeah, me neither. But if you did, 1800Flowers now has the perfect solution. Cupcakes in Bloom are exactly what they sound like... floral bouquets in the fun cupcake shapes. I don't normally post about single products or specific companies, but I gotta admit these just look amazing. And there's a whole bunch of other cake-related arrangements (and a margarita one too!) My favorite is probably the Slice of Life (see below) one!

I love it!
Like you, I usually go for the salty snacks instead of the sweets, but I can't pass up a cupcake! Yummy!
This would be good to bring to a party where everyone is on a diet!
Those cupcakes look good enough to eat! Now I have to go to the store and buy some REAL cupcakes!
I like sweet snacks AND salty snacks! I like cupcakes because they are the perfect portion snack.
@Tish - Yeah aren't those too cool? And now I'm craving pretzels and a cupcake...
@Todd - Great point! Except everyone may be soo hungry, they'll end up eating the flowers!
@Jeremy - My job is done.
@Randy - I agree on all 3 points. Except that the perfect portion snack is dangerous, because you can easily pop 3 or 4 in your mouth before you realize what you're doing!
