I like the idea

Of a collage with miniature cup cakes as flowers. That would be beautiful. Of course an eight year old could do better but aren't you inspired enough that I hold fast to innocence. And when I am lost show me the way with a better World.

That's a lovely word that - miniature. I would guess that it is of French origin. But I may be wrong. Please can I ask the correct answer?

A painting of cupcakes on stalks in a vase on the way? Actually, it makes me think of Fimo, that coloured modelling material - making little cupcake brooches. I haven't made them in ages, (the real cupcakes that is). It's a thought.
