I know that I’ve been blogging a lot lately about places around my new home and furnishing and designing it, but there are many things I will miss about living in Studio City (though I’m not really that far from it still).

One place is definitely Big Sugar Bakeshop on Ventura Blvd. I believe I even blogged about them before last year. They taste a lot better than Sprinkles and have a great variety. Their store is filled with adorable retail, everything from kiddie aprons and cookbooks to cards and ceramics. I’ve found some of the best birthday/holiday cards here. I believe even the retro kitchen tables and chairs you sit at inside are for sale as well.

I was walking around Ventura, killing time, and decided to drop in Big Sugar. Lo and behold, I saw that they were selling Dharma cupcakes. (By the way, this was Sunday – the LOST finale day!)

Of course I rushed right in. I saw a few Dharma cupcakes left, and ordered more to make 10 cupcakes to take with me to that night’s Lost party.

One Dharma cupcake left (top shelf, middle). Many Lakers cupcakes for that night's game were made as well.

Hurray!

Delicious vanilla cupcakes ... with a touch of Dharma

10 freshly-made cupcakes, good to go and be enjoyed by … Lostians?

I’ll definitely keep coming back to Big Sugar. They have a great staff as well. I think they do events here every now and then. Come by sometime, get a drink and a cupcake and chill in a 70s kitchen chair and enjoy the day.

I love the wrappings of these soaps!

Retail shelves of cards, kitchen accessories, and books

These have got to be the cutest salt and pepper shakers ever!

Floors are nifty, too!

YUM.

These little cupcakes were also perfect size for me. I’m not a big chocolate or ice cream kinda person, nor cakes and cookies and those kinda sweets. But I do like to take a bite into things that are too cute to pass by.

I don’t know who made these, but these cupcakes were cute AND delicious. If I were to eat any kind of chocolate, it would be mint chocolate. And the green mint chocolate cupcake with the mini crunchy chocolate balls on top was deeelish.

Each time I saw these, I would grab a few. Then I’d eat one and realize that I don’t really want to eat them. I just liked looking at them. And I would try to find people to give them to, which is harder than it sounds cause everyone seems to be on a diet. But whether you’re dieting or not a big sweet person or not a big food eater, it’s nice to have something like this every now and then. Life is about enjoying it, and food is about celebrating life and family and friends. I have no idea what I’m saying. I must be high on cupcakes.
