What's a typical dessert for you? Both of my children love to bake —so more often than not, dessert will involve cookies that we have just baked. I love the coconut cupcakes from Brown Betty Bakery in Philadelphia. They are moist and sweet, and they remind me of the wedding cake that my husband and I had when we were married in Santa Barbara, CA. I got hooked when I recently photographed Brown Betty's beautiful desserts for their first cookbook {coming out this fall}, and ever since then I have been obsessed.
What's your dream dessert? I love the combination of sweet and salty, so any dessert involving toffee or maple flavors pretty much has my name written all over it. I am also a huge fan of freshly whipped cream. There is something so decadent about homemade whip cream.
How often do you treat yourself to dessert? I usually have dessert after dinner…and on some days for dinner!
Thanks Alison!

Alison Conklin Photography + Brown Betty Cupcakes = Perfection. Alison’s ability to capture Brown Betty’s deliciousness in her photos is truly an art form. You can actually taste the cupcakes just by looking at the photos!!! It is kind of like magic. Brown Betty Cupcakes never disappoint…never. I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Brown Betty Cookbook and drool over Alison’s photos!!!
And by “kind of like magic” I really mean, it is magic. How does Alison do that?!:-)
Desserts for dinner! I do that sometimes too 🙂
