Whether it's trying the latest fad in moisturizers (caviar, bee pollen, and algae to name a few) or test-driving the newest diamond encrusted microdermabrasion, chemical fillers, and enzyme peels, there's not a lot women won't try for wrinkle-free skin.

Sometimes, the answer isn't always what you'd expect. Dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD, whose eponymous skin care line has been a go-to since it launched in 1997, urges that good skin begins at the grocery store.

"Girls and guys love cupcakes, and mine are just one bite," said Baked by Melissa founder Melissa Ben-Ishay, whose mini cupcakes have struck a cord with fashion insiders and celebrities (for instance, her creations were featured at HBO's Girls premiere party last night; see image below). "Just like fashion design, I can create a cupcake to resemble or feel like anything," Ben-Ishay remarked. "I worked with Betsey Johnson to create an original cupcake for Fashion Week, and I also created a cupcake to match Marc Jacobs's Oh Lola fragrance."

But why has the sartorial scene become so enamored with her treats (aside from their addictive nature)? "They're cute to look at which people in the fashion world love, and they're the perfect treat for those who are health conscious," Ben-Ishay explained.
