i'm catching up on my tivo and martha had her 'cupcake week' while i was away. turns out there is a place in pasadena i'll have to stop by next time i'm down there, or maggie will have to review it and then tell me if it's worth the drive by. Violet's Cakes is the owner and baker's dream- another one of those people who leaves their corporate job, goes to the Le Cordon Bleu extension in Pasadena...and starts a bake shop.
