This week’s giveaway comes to us from new Etsy seller OnceUponAPedestal.   In her shop you will find lovely dessert stands and pedestals.  OnceUponAPedestal gathers new and used plates in all shapes, colors and sizes and matches them with unique bases of different heights to create beautiful trays.  These are great for displaying your deliciously sweet treats.  I have thoroughly searched Etsy and have found no one else that makes these unique cupcake pedestals.

I am so happy to own this well-made and whimsical cupcake pedestal.  It holds 1-3 regular size cupcakes and is the perfect centerpiece for my cupcake displays.  The glass base is just as pretty and perfect.  This stand is now my favorite item in my cupcake collection!

My best friend emailed to inform me that she had a cupcake from Cinnabon!  At first it sounded a little strange, Cinnabon if famous for cinnamon rolls, not cupcakes but the company’s website says “After 25 years of making our world famous cinnamon roll, we’re kicking off the next 25 years by introducing the world’s best cupcake!” There are four flavors to choose from including, Cinnacake Classic, Chocolate Passion, Vanilla Bliss, and 24-Carrot Cake.

My best friend tried the Chocolate Passion (pictured above) and said that “it was really good but messy!”  She also noted that “they warm them up so the frosting melts a bit.” These cupcakes sound like they would be worth trying and  are available in 4-count, half dozen, and dozen packages.

We’ve covered cupcake bath bombs before, but since bath fizzies are SO GREAT (and rather seasonally appropriate), I think it’s high time we wrote about them again.

My neighborhood bath goodies store, Bliss Soaps, carries chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cupcake bath fizzies with bubble bath frosting (cupcake fizzie lovers who live outside Seattle, never fear – follow the link to order online). I really like Bliss because all their products are hand-made from all-natural, high quality ingredients. Maybe not good quite enough to eat, but certainly much better for you and your skin than the run of the mill mass-produced bath product.  Also, how can you feel bad supporting a small business in times like these?

If you’re looking for something to decorate your valentine with Martha Stewart has cute Candy and Cupcake stickers.  You get one sheet of 17 stickers for $3.99.

Martha Stewart also has a cupcake tote for $17.99.  The tote reads “It’s a good thing” and would make a fun Valentine’s Day gift or great packaging for any present.

I left the lovely Island of Martha’s Vineyard this weekend and went on an adventure to New Hampshire to visit my family and friends.

There is a little Cupcake Shop a few miles away from where the Ferry unloads, Cupcapes of Falmouth. I’ve driven by many times and never stopped and this time I did.

I walked in and immediately fell in love the the place. I wish I had taken more pictures but I didn’t get the chance.

They had a lovely display case of cupcakes right when you walk in. They also had cute tables set up, cupcake art on the wall, along with funny T-shirts to boot! There was also the cutest cupcake ornaments hanging on the wall.

I chose the Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake ! I couldn’t resist the looks of it. My favorite thing about the look of the cupcakes was the the liner that they were put it. So cute, adds so much character. And it was even put in the CUTEST cupcake box. And the lady who helped me was very nice and inviting as well. They also use all organic ingredients!

Anyone who lives in the area should definitely try and make a trip to indulge in these cupcakes! Very much worth it.

Being there gave me lots of inspiration for my own cupcake adventures! It also made the 3 hours drive back to New Hampshire much more enjoyable.

I tried to wait aslong as I could to eat the cupcake because I wanted to get proper pictures of the Cupcake and the box, that didnt last long. The delicious smell of the Raspberry and Chocolate just over took my car. And I am glad I didn’t wait because it was so worth it! The frosting was perfect and the raspberry and chunk of chocolate were da’ bomb. It cake was so moist and perfect. I enjoyed this cupcake as much as i did because it was something along the lines that I would make!
