Anatomy of a Cupcake

By on Monday, March 21st, 2011

I really like this Anatomy of a Cupcake image by Sarah and Allen.  The duo created it for their friend’s birthday and are now selling the 23”x15” print for $50.00.  I came across the image via Black*Eiffel but be sure to look at Things, Allen Hemberger’s website.  That’s where the print was originally posted and there’s a fun 40 second video of them preparing for the photo shoot!

Chocolate Cherry Cola Cupcakes with Red Licorice Filling and Marshmallow Frosting

By on Sunday, March 20th, 2011

These cupcakes are a mouthful to say and I’m sure the same to eat.  I know that we have all indulged ourselves in watching The Food Networks Cupcake Wars a few times, or maybe all the time.  So we all have an idea of the kind of crazy cupcakes that the contestants come up with. I saw this one and thought, “Sounds like a trip to the movies squashed all into one sinful cupcake!”

This recipe is from the episode LA Auto Show from the bakers of Bake You Happy.

Best Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

By on Saturday, March 19th, 2011

I have yet to try vegan cupcakes but if they taste as good as these cupcake by Joylicious look, I’m sure I will love them!  These cupcakes, called best vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan banana ice cream combine three things I love, chocolate, peanut butter and bananas.  The best part is that they not only look delicious but actually sound healthy.  I’ve always thought vegan recipes would be hard to make but after reading the ingredients and directions these actually sound doable.  Below you will find the recipe for the cupcakes but for the banana ice cream you will have to read Joylicious’s original post!  While there be sure to look around, I noticed a (non-vegan) mini pumpkin spice cupcake recipe that also looks amazing.

I just found this t-shirt, and it cracked me up. “I’m only running so that I can eat cupcakes later!” Brilliant! Now I just need to find one that says, “I’m going to Zumba so that I can eat cupcakes later!”

Little Fox Cupcake Card

By on Thursday, March 17th, 2011

This little fox card is too cute! I love that the fox that is looking at a cupcake looks like he belongs in a circus! This card, which costs £3.10, is made using shades of pink that are vegetable ink.
