I have a current obsession that I think is going to last a long time. This obsession is with baking. Baking cupcakes is something that I have turned into a weekly thing in my house. They are delicious little cakes. A cupcake is the perfect way to treat yourself to something really sweet and delicious and not ruin your diet. They are less calories than a piece of cake and since they are individually baked and decorated it makes it easier to stop eating them and not overdo it! When I am eating a cupcake I like to kick up my experience by having a bit of coffee or even hot chocolate with it. I know, I know! That is something I should not have with a cupcake because it is sugar overload (well, the way I make my coffee anyway) but it is really delicious! It's like having coffee and donuts - they just go well together.

What I have come to find out though is that when you have a cup of coffee or something like that and a cupcake you do not want to let either out of your sight or you do not want to put them down. Sometimes you have to open doors with them in your hands which leaves you with zero hands to help yourself with! I have found the perfect mug to go with that perfect cupcake. They are from Villeroy and Broch and they are NewWave Caffe.

These mugs have an elegant and modern design to it and you can buy a large or small party plate to accompany these mugs. The party plates allow you to have a cookie, biscuit, donut, or in my case a cupcake on the side of this mug while only having to hold the plate itself since there is a cup holder on these plates. I love the design of them and I think they are absolutely gorgeous. You can get one of the mugs for only $12.50 while they actually retail for about $25.00! That is half off and you are getting a great mug. The plates also are priced competitively. Are you a lefty and can't find a mug that fits you comfortably? They have mugs for you too!

These would go great with one of my cupcakes and I think it would just make them even more gorgeous. I'm sold! What do you think?

Sometimes when you want something sweet you want something shaky and slimy too. I know it may sound odd and gross but you have to think of Jello! Jello is a really yummy and sometimes overlooked snack. It is low in sugar and in this recipes case it is sugar free. Much like with talking watches you can dress jello up with an assortment of different items! This one calls for apples.

INGREDIENTS

4 apples, red, green, or combination, any variety sliced into wedges
1 small box sugar free jello any flavor

DIRECTIONS

Dip one or both sides of sliced apples into jello. Serve. You might want to wear plastic gloves or you may end up walking around with colored fingers.
