When the town of Cottonwood was faced with one of the worst tragedies imaginable, people responded by making cupcakes. A lot of cupcakes.
What a heart felt story of remembering the ones we’ve lost and celebrating life with cupcakes.

This fitted black tee has a front screen featuring 3 adorable cupcakes and a sad muffin. Why so sad? Probably because “muffins are just ugly cupcakes.” Poor muffin. 100% cotton. Wash warm. Dry low. Imported. By Loungefly.

There were so many fabulous cupcakes in the blogosphere this week that it was hard to narrow it down to seven. It might have been a fluke primarily due to this month’s Cupcake Hero contest but I wasn’t complaining!

Who doesn’t get excited about cake and frosting? At the cozy Molly’s Cupcakes in Lincoln Park, the owners are definitely going for a more retro feel.
“Molly was my teacher, and she used to bake us cupcakes, so it’s named after her, and in honor of Molly, we donate part of our proceeds to help schools in the community,” said John Nicolaides, Molly’s Cupcakes.
I love the story behind the story. So sweet naming their cupcakery after a former teacher.

The orange chiffon recipe made the cut, and after submitting a 5-minute video of herself making the cupcakes, Madey was off to Los Angeles to tape an episode of “Ultimate Recipe Showdown,” hosted by Marc Summers and Guy Fieri. She was one of nine contestants competing in that episode, which was devoted to cakes of all sorts.

Minnie Driver is one of celebdom’s least divariffic citizens; she’s affable, funny, charming, blah, blah, blah. But she isn’t above a little muscle-flexing … to get the cupcakes she wants.
TMZ caught up with Minnie outside of NYC’s Magnolia Bakery — the famous one — and she was visibly irritated about having to wait in a (not very long) line.
Parents, child care teachers need to be on the same page

My grandson was attending a day care where a mother brought nine cupcakes for the class where her daughter was having a birthday.
There were 12 children in the class.
Even though we only read the grandmother’s side in the article and I want to give the school the benefit of the doubt, why would the mother of the birthday girl only bring 9 cupcakes for 12 kids? Thats just math waiting to go wrong… JMO. What do you think?
