I love this C is for Cake plate created by Just Noey.  It’s available from their Etsy page for approximately $36.00.  When you look at the plate closely, you’ll notice it also has little cupcakes on it!

When I first saw these little cupcakes I thought they were those little plastic lipgloss cupcake containers that you can buy, but on closer inspection I discovered these are super gorgeous little chocolate coated cupcakes!  The image and idea is from Hero Cake Pops.

To create these, Hero Cake Pops picked up a chocolate cupcake mould from her local cake shop then after creating the outsides in the mould filled the inside with cake pop.  The result… fab cute little gifts for your special man / woman or if you can’t choose one person then these make an economical way to share your love this Valentines Day!

In September when I ate at The Culinary Institue of America at Greystone in California our butter came with a ticing on top.  Ticings are thing sheets of edible icing that have no flavor because they take on the flavor of the food the are applied to.  Ticings are a great way to quickly and easily decorate cupcakes, cakes, and cookies since you can add images or text to your baked good by simply peeling the ticing off the backing sheet and applying it to frosting.

These edible icing prints are a great way to decorate cupcakes!  They have a crisp, professional look to them but are actually simple. As an added bonus they are made with food grade ink and gluten free which means you don’t have to worry about food allergies. Additionally they last for up to six months when stored properly which gives you have a decent amount of time to use them.

For the ultimate cupcake party princess you need to have one of these fantastic cupcake wine glasses!  Say goodbye to those pesky little wine glass identifier metal rings, which get lost and in my case fly off as I get animated… no from now on I’m rocking up to my friends and family with this!

Well maybe not, I’m not that much of a princess, but it would be great fun at home.  Though I am not too sure I would be able to keep it away from my daughter.  Safe to say it would be juice and soda only for her (probably together, because she is crazy that way!)

You can get one of these glasses for the birthday girl, or treat yourself, birthday or no birthday.  They are available from Diva Entertains!
