Wellington, New Zealand's Tempt inspires poetry

Tempt in Wellington, New Zealand is stirring people up (in ways good and bad). Here's what they say on their site (where you can also see more photos):

There is just something intrinsically different about cup cakes. They are small packaged desserts that make people smile and even feel like a kid again.

Tempt cupcakes are designed to look beautiful and be lovely to eat. Each Tempt cupcake is a small celebration of food, flavour and attention to detail. Tempt cupcakes are individually boxed and presented with over a dozen different flavours and styles.

Tempt cupcakes make people feel good. As a gift, a treat, a thank you, or a goodbye, Tempt cupcakes can help you send the message with some passion.


Blogger Gala Darling she wrote these haiku about her sub-par Tempt experience:

All cuteness aside,
This cupcake defeated me.
I ate just two bites.

Super-rich mud cake
Does not a good cupcake make.
A very sad truth.

For six dollars fifty, you
would be forgiven if you
expected more.
