One of our readers shared this idea with us. This cupcake balloon art would really impress guests at your next party. Looks like a lot of balloons to blow up, but totally worth the effort. I think these would make good picture backgrounds.
I went to Target today and saw these two cupcake notebooks in the seasonal back to school supply section. Since they are only $1.00 each they are hard to resist and are definitely not just for students!
Butter Lane Cupcakes in New York has given us the scoop on their banana cupcakes. Enjoy!
I am so excited that today I found these Cath Kidston cupcake liners at my local TJMaxx. I love TJMaxx just because you never know what you might find there and they always have something different. The pack of 100 liners, which includes four different patterns, are also available on the Chronicle Books website for $9.95. Or stop by your local TJMaxx and test your luck to see what cupcake find might be in store for you.
I don’t think my giant, slobbering bloodhound would appreciate this adornment, but if you’ve got one of those clean, cute, little, foo foo pups, you might want to check it out. What discerning foo foo creature wouldn’t want a rhinestone around her neck? And at Swing Design, a cupcake pup charm is only $5.25!
Since watermelon the fruit is such a fun, messy, summer treat, what opportunities doe we have to use watermelon fruit in a cupcake?
From an Indiana kitchen came a watermelon cupcake recipe with instructions for making your own wrappers on a silhouette machine. The recipe uses watermelon gelatin – very neat.
Getting warmer, I found a recipe for watermelon cupcake frosting that offers a substitution of watermelon juice for milk.
Still on my quest, I landed on What About Watermelon?, where I found a cake recipe with 1-1/3 C of watermelon, using watermelon juice in the frosting. All the fun of the fruit and no napkins required!
