I must admit that I am not really a dog person. However, after seeing these cute Etsy finds for your pooch, I’ve begun to miss the little pug I had as a child. He was a chubby little guy named Riggins (after John Riggins for any Redskins fans out there!) and I bet he would have worn this:
Pet Birthday Hat by ilickyou $9
Make sure you don’t mix these up with your own cupcakes! Gourmet Pupcakes by DivaDogBakery 4 for $5
Why not dress your dogs in cupcakes? They appreciate style too! Cute as a Cupcake Harness by SophiesThreads $24
There were so many dog items on Etsy that it would be impossible to post them all! So many leashes, collars and outfits. If you buy something for your puppy make sure to send us a photo!
When is a savory cupcake too savory and becomes something else entirely? It looks like a cupcake, and designed like a cupcake, but this Lamb Merguez Savory Cupcake on golden raisin couscous topped with white bean puree is definitely a cupcake inspired dinner. Even the tomato on top looks like a maraschino cherry.
You decide. Cupcake or imposter. Full recipe here.
Halloween always comes up quickly once it becomes October and since it is September, that means it is time to get thinking about what you or your little one is going to dress up as. Cupcakes make there perfect costume for the young or the young at heart. The Food Network Magazine has directions for making you own cupcake costume.
My only issue with the design was that the cupcake liner portion is made out of cardboard. No problem if you are walking around but you would have some trouble if you needed to sit, say when it’s “wear your costume to school day.” But if you get creative I’m sure there is a solution, maybe a corduroy skirt instead of the cardboard?
The weather is getting cooler which means that Halloween is just around the corner. While shopping at Michaels last week for cupcake liners, I noticed that Michaels has quite a few options for those wanting to include cupcakes in their Halloween celebrations. Wilton has several cupcake items this year including cupcake stands, wrappers, liners, picks, stencils, and boxes. Many of these items are available in local craft stores, but the Skulls and Scroll designs are only available at Michaels.
The cupcake baker is at it again …
I don’t know what most people think about right before they go to sleep .. maybe how the days events went, maybe something that you have to to get done the next day … What I think about right before I fall asleep, CUPCAKES! Chocolate orange cupcakes was the last thing on my mind the other night.
So I decided to try em’ out … this is how they turned out.
All that I did was use a box mix and used orange juice instead of water. And for the frosting instead of milk as the recipe calls for i used orange juice.
They weren’t as dense as i had hoped and they needed a tad more orange flavor! But they are all around Yummy!!
