curiouser and curiouser - alice in wonderland inspired

after seeing tim burton's alice in wonderland in 3d, i was entirely captivated by the movie's cinematography, art direction, sound and mostly, storyline. lewis carroll's original has been told and told in many different ways but regardless if you read the book or saw the original movie, alice's journey always takes us to a world full of fantasy and utmost wonder. i was so inspired by the whimsical marriage of  naiveness & growing up, therefore i'm sharing with you a few finds that even the mad hatter himself would approve of.


 



eat me:

i don't really know how to properly introduce this find on atlantic avenue but my "first time at disney" reaction when i walked in summed up the amazingness (totally allowed to make up words when places like these exist) that is cupcake couture. a few friends of mine had raved about the new store or "sweet boutique," as they are cleverly named, however i was not expecting to find such a fantastic array of cupcake selections. the interior is decorated very fashionably, with a pop art feel and an emphasis on couture. if this place doesn't scream alice in wonderland, i don't know what does.




the menu has a designer index of cupcake selections. try the dolce & banana (light and fluffy banana cake spiced to perfection with banana buttercream frosting), the berry wang (strawberry cake topped with strawberry buttercream both made from fresh strawberries) or even the cocoa chanel (moist chocolate cake with valrhona chocolcate buttercream trimmed with french chocolate sprinkles.) cupcake couture menu
