the competition: community canteen

  This first addition of The Competition comes to us from the Community Canteen. Today I chose a chocolate cupcake. Here is what I thought: APPEARANCE: Well it was cute sitting on the plate, but I suppose they didn’t have a box tall enough so this is what it looked like once I got it […]

a new regular addition: the competition

I love this company because the owner […]
