Full disclosure: I couldn’t even wait to leave the parking lot of The Fountains at Arbor Lakes before sampling one of the cupcakes Abby Jimenez, owner of Nadia Cakes and past winner of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, brought to our interview. While ostensibly “checking my notes” in my car after we had said goodbye, I was actually enjoying a delicious strawberry cupcake, pink and sweet, that was like a delicate burst of summer.
