Urgh, is it just me or are there hundreds of covers that look just like this? Maybe it's just me but it feels like this has become an entire genre. Watery greenish-blue or bluish-grey hues, a single baked good (with or without crumbs) or possibly a kitchen utensil instead (e.g., an antique whisk), exceedingly polite font. The overall mood is always the same: 3 parts Martha Stewart magazine, 1 part mild despair. I don't think this aesthetic is going to age well.
I do enjoy its cleanliness though.
