Look what I just found … these Sweet Cake Vessels are amazing! I found them on fab.com.

 

There are so many things that you could do with these! Toys, dog/cat bed, laundry… the list goes one. I was thinking that you secure a piece of glass on the top and make it a see through coffee table!

Caramel Popcorn Cupcakes

By on Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

I just finished reading the book Modoc, it’s the true story of the greatest elephant that ever lived.  The elephant works in the circus for several years and when talking about the sounds and smells of the circus the smell of popcorn is mentioned.  These caramel popcorn cupcakes sound like perfect circus food, or since state fair season is approaching, I also think they would be a great state fair treat.  I have yet to see cupcakes at my local state fair, the NC State Fair but if they had these I would be sure to try one! The cupcakes were created by 6 Bittersweets and the cupcakes are made with creamed corn and cornmeal then topped with caramel buttercream.
