Labor Day Cupcakes

By on Monday, August 22nd, 2011

It’s hard to believe that fall, and Labor Day, are almost here again, but you can soften the blow with a cupcake. Georgetown Cupcake will be offering the Labor Day cupcake in several flavors, including red velvet. (Need I say more?) It might be the best investment you’ll make this year!

Cupcake Plates and Bowls

By on Sunday, August 21st, 2011

These plates and bowls come in beautiful pastel colors, and the bowls are shaped like cupcake liners.  I think these would be fabulous for a nice brunch or a wedding shower, and it sure beats getting out your fancy china, because these are dishwasher safe, which will save you a bunch of time for clean-up.

DIY: Party Animal Candles

By on Sunday, August 21st, 2011

I’m impressed by these  creative and upcycled DIY Party Animal Candles.  Jenny from Hank + Hunt posted the full instructions The Sweetest Occasion.   She used gold spray paint to give the candle holders a uniformed appearance.  I think they make perfect cupcake toppers for a child’s birthday party, maybe one that’s circus themed?

Are you busy back to school shopping for the little cupcake lover in your life?  Have you been looking for a cupcake backpack to send your child back to school in cupcake style?  Stephen Joseph has tons of fun cupcake products including two different cupcake backpacks.  Both bags cost $26.99 but one is quilted while the other, named the go-go bag, is vinyl with appliqued designs.  Be sure to check out the other cupcake items on the website including lunch boxes, stainless steel water bottles, there’s even a nap mat.

Fondant Cupcakes

By on Friday, August 19th, 2011

I found these fondant cupcakes on Pioneer Woman’s site and had to share.  Using fondant seems like it would require lots of patience, but I love how Pioneer Woman outlines the process for us step-by-step AND with pictures. These are some amazing-looking cupcakes!  The Wii cupcakes were made by Bakerella.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Betty Crocker FUN da-middles

By on Friday, August 19th, 2011

After noticing these by the checkout line at my local Wal-Mart I realized that filled cupcakes must be the latest trend in cupcakes.  This is because Betty Crocker created these FUN da-middles cupcake mixes with filling.  Four flavors are currently available including chocolate cake with vanilla filling, white cake with vanilla filling, and white cake with chocolate filling.  These have come out at the perfect time with school starting back up these would be great to bring to a class room party, bake sale, or as a special after school treat!

Gigi’s Cupcakes of Savannah Georgia is using cupcake power to help a local foodbank, America’s Second Harvest. Customers who bring in food to donate are treated to a discount on in-store orders. Gigi’s has already filled a barrel of food in just three days and they hope to do even better this weekend. In fact, on Saturday, if you bring in five or more canned goods between 1 and 6, you get a free cupcake!
