this one takes the cake

I felt like Thalia Troianou’s cupcake envelope deserved its very own post… Thalia and I have actually become pen pals, and I owe her a letter (and I have for some time). But how can I respond in a timely manner when she sends me things like this???

This is a tiny little plastic envelope with a cupcake hovering inside,
behind a frosting cloud of an address label.

The back.

The insides, outside.

And – it’s a freaking BOOKLET! With a recipe and a note.

So, Thalia, you have given me envelope anxiety as well as envelope envy. I am thinking of how to respond in kind, but for now, THANK YOU!
