That picture is of a cupcake of Stevie Wonder, made of icing.

Before you think that I have completely lost the plot, eaten one too many e-numbers and descended full on to food madness, let me explain.

A few weeks ago on an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon I was sent a box of cupcakes. There is nothing unusual about this. In fact it is an almost daily occurrence, but these ones were different. To celebrate the fact that Stevie Wonder is headlining this summer’s Bestival on the Isle of Wight, the very clever people behind it had sent out cupcakes to certain journalists with an icing replica of Stevie himself centre stage.

As I might have mentioned, I see a lot of cupcakes. I would like to say I treat them all equally but this made me smile in a way no other cake has done before or since. In fact I reacted so strongly (parading it all over the building, taking pictures of it, making sure no one touched lest they damage it in some way) that my colleague thought it would be funny to enshrine it in a plastic display box and leave it on my desk for me to find the next morning.

And I have kept it ever since.

I didn’t set out to keep it, balanced precariously on my desk amongst magazines and notepads. But as the time wore on I felt less inclined to get rid of it. It became a topic of conversation, looking at how the icing has slumped gradually over time, how the silver glitter has started to fall off his knees. We have started to speculate how long he will last. I’ve even had the ‘how much could I pay you to eat that?’ conversation. That’s one step away from shoving marbles up your nose.

As I am spending my time writing about all the wonderful and weird things I’m eating as part of Food Month on Stylist.co.uk, I felt duty bound to confess this; my strange little food secret. My name is Amy. And I have kept a cupcake replica of Stevie Wonder in a plastic case for three weeks.

Thing is… aren’t you just a little bit curious about how long it will last?

Friday 20 April - Today I'm Eating...

Jap Chae, Pa Jeon and and Yuk Hwae from Kimchee (kimchee.uk.com) in Holborn

Do you have a restaurant that, despite walking past it every day, you’ve never actually been to? Well that is what Kimchee is for me. For over a year I’ve walked past their glass fronted corner restaurant and not-so-secretly admired the plates of food being devoured at the window seats: huge bowls of soup noodles, dumplings, Korean style grills and colourful plates of vegetables all served on beautiful deep brown crockery. But I never went in. Not until today, that is, when a couple of circumstances – the fact that it’s Friday, for one, and the fact that it is p*****g down with rain another – conspired to make me and my colleague Tash feel like it was worth treating ourselves.
