Today is
National Chocolate Cupcake Day, so I knew I'd have to find a fabulous chocolate cupcake to use as
Cupcake of the Week. Luckily my search didn't take too long — there are a lot of amazing cupcakes out there! — and I soon found these
Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes from flickr user
ciao chow.

I usually end up creating at least one cupcake
yummy link each week, so I thought I'd go ahead and make it official. From now on, I'll pick a weekly cupcake for your viewing enjoyment. To start things off, I've found these lovely "Love Shack" cupcakes from the Destin, Florida bakery
Cupcake Beach.

Introducing our new feature, bento of the week! Our first find comes from Flickr member
Sakurako Kitsa. This bento is absolutely adorable, but be sure to check out her other dazzling creations too.
