Purple heart cupcakes will always win me over (plus peach blackberry and salted caramel)

There are certain things on a cupcake I'm an instant sucker for: Hello Kitty, marshmallows, owls (though Nichelle thinks "bees are the new owls"). Hearts are one of them! These are so simply and pretty; I love elaborate cupcakes, too, don't get me wrong, but sometimes the simply ones just speak to me. These are by custom cupcake company Angel Cakes in San Francisco, via Flickr.



Even better? Lots and lots of them. They're red velvet mini cupcakes.



I'm also pretty into these peach blackberry cupcakes:



Last but not least, chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel are their flavor of the month for July! And coming up, for their cupcake of the month club members, via their blog:

Next month the flavor will be peaches with cream cheese brown sugar frosting! And you know they will be good because California peaches are AMAZING in August. The delivery date is August 10, and you can place your order through August 8 to receive that delivery. All the info is here.
