Some cupcake themed products that our readers have graciously pointed out:

Stephanie from from freshvintage pointed out these adorable cupcake hotpants and cupcake panties.

Georgina from dollymixx is selling these adorable cupcake charms and cupcake necklace.

April, whose daughter’s nickname is “cake” found this gem of a cupcake necklace on Amazon.  Of cours they had a cupcake-themed birthday party for her first birthday!  Happy Birthday!

I and many others await the countdown to midnight in eager anticipation of the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  I purchased my tickets already for the special midnight showing, and I look forward to bringing my camera and catching some true fans dressed up for opening night.  In the mean time, I found some Harry Potter inspired cupcakes to pass the time.

Last March, Food Network’s Duff Goldman lives up to his Ace of Cakes title by baking the largest cupcake in history — which was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records.  The 61.4-pound creation is more than a foot tall and entirely edible. Reportedly 150 times the size of a regular cupcake, this record-breaker called for 16 pounds of butter, 10 pounds of sugar, and three ounces of food coloring.

Although it was widely reported that Duff broke the record, his record was disqualified in 2009 when it was revealed that his cupcake was baked in two parts!  Not only do I want to see the cupcake, I want to see the oven capable of handling a cupcake this size!

Recently, the londonist.com announced:

This Thursday, at the Covent Garden Real Food Market, the world’s largest ever cupcake will make a nervous debut on the East Piazza. Nervous, because it will be a short-lived appearance: thousands of people will soon be wolfing it down. The baked behemoth will measure 2 metres by 1.25 metres, and it’s expected that around 2,000 will enjoy a slice.

Now consider this.  Duff’s cupcake is 150 times larger than a normal cupcake.  This londonist cupcake will be 10 times larger than Duff’s cupcake!  No mention about whether it will officially take the Guiness Book of World Records crown though.

One day you found a cupcake liner for a race of giants.  What would you do with the liner?

In actuality, Sweet Cake is the XXL version. Sweet Cake is an amusing eye-catcher, no matter how you choose to use it. It´s an absolute all-rounder, whether it´s used as a pet bed, planter, mini sandbox, a kid´s wading pool or even as a tiny garden pond.

The liners are sold at a german site at design-3000.de.

We received these photos and this email from Jen from Knoxville…

Hey, here is a Cupcake Stained Glass piece that I recieved as a gift. It was Custom made just for me:)

I love it! Thank you for sharing it with us Jen!

One of our dear readers shared with us her cupcake surprise.

Here is a pic of the cupcakes I made for my husband who works for the geek squad. He had no idea that I had even made him anything, and was surprised when he saw this. The picture has been passed around all of the corporate office and their forums . It’s the first time I have ever used fondant, and think I am addicted!

Lovely cupcake doorstop from Ditsy Daisies.  I loved this line in the description:

FABULOUS FOR A CHILDS BEDROOM, CAKE SHOP OR IN FACT ANYWHERE……………

I would imagine the world to be a better place if all doorstops were so cute.  This one measures 24 cm high by 15 cm (9.4 in by 5.9 in).
