I just read this blog post, “Shopping with Peanut,” at one of my favorite blogs, There’s Just One Mommy. It just warmed my heart so much that I had to pass it on to you. I’m a sucker for little girls and cupcakes, what can I say?
Lately I have had the urge to be crafty! Maybe it’s because of all the awesome websites and blogs out there or because final exams have ended for me and I now have a short summer break, giving me free time for projects. One project on my to-do list is individual cupcake stands like the ones Diary of a Ladybird provides instructions for on her website. The material list is nice and short only requiring superglue, a small/shallow bowl, and an egg cup. The directions are equally easy with the most time consuming part of the project involving waiting for the glue to dry. Check out her original post for the instructions and pictures.
And not just any old Hazelnut!! Gourmet Hazelnut Cupcakes thank you!
Cupcakes should not only taste delicious, but should look appealing and exciting too. To be honest I could show you the yummiest naked cupcake, and well it would look.. boring… truth is, these days every book is judged by its cover, and every cupcake by its decoration. But that doesn’t mean to say that a cupcake can just look good, because although we show you only a few dimensions, when you bake it up, you bring something we never can… that third dimension… taste…
Now I cannot really speak for these hazelnut cupcakes, as I am yet to bake them myself. I love hazelnuts, but as yet haven’t quite had time… but these caramel stringy amazing hazelnut decorations… well they look amazing, so if you want to make an impact, they are a definite YES!… and if you try out the cupcake, let us know if it tastes as good as it looks!

Hello Cupcake Universe! It is my pleasure to introduce you to the “world’s first cupcake on a pretzel.” Make sure you turn up your volume when you visit the PopsyCakes website, because the PopsyCakes literally POP onto your screen.
PopsyCakes started as a high school project and has turned into a national cupcake business. Who wouldn’t want a handmade cupcake, dipped in chocolate, and perched on a pretzel stick? PopsyCakes ships worldwide. You can buy a half dozen or a dozen of several flavors including: strawberry milkshake, dark chocolate decadence, vanilla bean dream, and red velvet rush. Have a new flavor in mind? Share it with them via their website and be entered to win a dozen PopsyCakes! Businesses, you can also order them wholesale!
No longer does the cake pop have to take side stage to the mother of cakes (i.e. the standard every day cake), nor does it need to step aside for it’s biggest brother (the cupcake) or it’s big sister (the mini cupcake). No, finally, today is the day that cake pops can take centre stage. Their very own multi layer cupcake stand!
Check these cupcake tower’s out! They are so so versatile you can go all pops as shown here, or if you check out the other pictures you can see how you can combine cakes, cupcakes and cake pops.
You can of course find these awesome stands at the aptly named ‘The Cupcake Tower’. So do the Monster mash and check out more of the pictures below!!!!
