My Valentine

So I am taking so long to tell you about this because A) I wanted to try at least a few first and B) I wanted to be sure that no bout of food-borne illness resulted from this gift.

When my husband said "Buy yourself something nice from etsy for Valentines Day" I was (believe it or not) at a loss. That is, until I remembered that I had had a hankerin' for these cupcakes! The lot of 6 contained: Cookoo for Coconut, All that Jazzberry, Meet me at the Coconut Cabana, Berry Berry Dark, and Fat Daddy's Favorite PB&J Sammich.

I only have two left, and so far Berry Berry Dark and Cookoo for Coconut are my favorites. They are super-duper rich, these cupcakes aren't for someone who is looking for light and fluffy sweetness. These are dense, bold, thick, and well, rich!

Kudos to Nicole of Fat Daddy Bake Shop. You bake a mean cupcake, girl!

WWYD?

Of all the uncommon, unique and unusual items to be found on etsy "edibles" seems the most unusual to me. I know that it isn't entirely unheard of to purchase items to eat on the web, but buying home baked goods through a handmade website seems a little risky to me.

That said, I have been DROOLING over the images and descriptions for Fat Daddy Bake Shop's goodies. With names like "Cookoo for Coconut" "PB and J Sammich" and "All that Jazzberry Strawberry" I don't know how much longer I can resist. And as you can imagine, the descriptions make these lovelies sound even more irresistible.

They are not cheap; at 6.50 a pop. So buying more than one would be taking a risk for me...What would you do? I would be interested to hear from others on your feelings about or experiences with buying "edibles/perishables" online.
