Diane Jarvis-Schuller

Today is nothing short of glorious. It’s really warm (hot), sunny with a bit of a breeze, and the entire weekend is forecast for much of the same. My day started with a positive bang: an editor of a national magazine contacted me to do a photo shoot for a story he’s covering. I’m delighted — the gig is next week. As if that isn’t fantastic enough, this evening is when I do that fun guy-and-his-vintage-cars shoot. I’m so excited — like a kid anxious to head to the fair. May you all have a warm, sunny weekend filled with good times and plenty of watermelon!

I told you in the last post this would be much more delightful! How’s a cupcake in natural light grab you? I found this amazing place on my recent trip to Edmonton, Alberta: “Flirt Cupcakes”. It’s a darling little spot on Whyte Avenue (a great place for people watching, nifty boutiques & stores, coffee houses, and a variety of places to find yummy food). I’ve sampled some of their little darlings and you must go there if you’re ever in Edmonton. The beauty of their product is that it’s home made on the premises daily, and the icings are so yummy and not all sugary-sweet. Instead the icings are made with fresh and unique things like strawberry or peanut butter (like my favourite in the picture above) … and other delicious offerings. Rick and Michelle are so welcoming and great hosts when you visit.

I took scads of photos but here is a gallery showing a few (for best viewing use the “Carousel” or “Slideshow” buttons located at the bottom of the thumbnail page). In my next post I’ll include photos of a couple more of my favourite cupcakes from Flirt. Oh maybe I should explain: Rick let me have a taster of one while I was there plus I purchased a box of minis to take to my son and his family. That’s where I got to have a bite of a couple more (Granddaughters are great for offering taste tests to Grandmas).
