In the Empire State (of mind), there exists Empire Cake (of Manhattan). There they bake a very vanilla cupcake that is very happy to be celebrated today. #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting #writer #author #books #booksky #writesky #cupcakes #baking #bakingsky #foodsky 3/3

Thanks. Yes, it was quite good. Nice whipped frosting as opposed to the chalky standard.

It's also #NationalChocolateCupcakeDay. I enjoyed a 🍫 caramel 🧁 from Magnolia Bakery. In my book, 🧁 are fuel for the storytellers and artists to save society. #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting #writer #author #books #booksky #writesky #cupcakes #baking #bakingsky #foodsky 2/2

I'm glad you commented!! I'm sincerely curious about public opinion. I mean, it can go too far, but it's delicious in so many foods. Pumpkin bread for the definitive win. wapo.st/3WjbfpP

Living the PS lifestyle shows that it’s not about the flavor, it’s about the state of mind.
