Fruits of all kinds! (tomatoes and cupcakes?!)

Robert & I have got some patio tomatoes working so hard to grow on our very sunny, hot patio. Our pots dry out so fast, so we have to keep them watered constantly! Even with faithful watering, the leaves look somewhat sad in the late afternoon sun. We've been working on keeping them happy...and while they seem a little droopy on occasion, our efforts have worked pretty well so far! We have about 5 baby tomatoes between our two plants. They're still little, but we can't wait to harvest them. :)

They're so tiny!



This next type of fruit is debatable. :) On Tuesday, I drove up to Richmond to visit my friend, Krysten, who's living there for the summer. Krysten & I had a yummy lunch at one of our favorite spots (the Baker's Crust), walked around a few Short Pump shops, then drove to a fancy cupcake shop down the road that I'd heard about from some lovely friends who went there recently. Frostings is a beautiful take-out cupcake shop; the inside could not smell any better!!!




Anyways, back to the "fruits of all kinds..." The two "cupcakes of the day" were Boston Creme Pie cupcakes and beautiful Green Apple cupcakes (which we both devoured respectively). :) The apple cupcake could not have looked more like a real granny smith apple! Under the green shell of frosting, there was super-sweet plain frosting and within the vanilla cake there was a green-apple surprise filling! The tart filling with the sweet frosting was absolutely perfect. :) I think if I had a million dollars, I'd start a fancy cupcake/cookie shop very similar to Frostings. :)
