Yes, you are probably thinking that it is a little too early to be talking about snow, and for most of us it is, but since New England did experience their first snowfall recently, I thought I’d post these cute cupcakes.
Has anyone seen the move Up? If you haven’t, stop what you are doing immediately and go rent it! No, I really mean it! It is one of the best cartoon/movies I have ever seen.
When I saw these cupcakes that were made for this movie, my heart melted. They are so cute and such a fabulous representation.

I’m not sure who the mysterious “Pippindipity” is, but here are some delightful treats from her Flickr stream! I recommend a visit, as there’s more where these came from!

Halloween is tomorrow, so you still have time to make some last minute treats. These would be a seriously quick and easy treat to make, and you might already have all the ingredients on hand. Just make a batch of mini chocolate cupcakes, pipe some Cool Whip on top, and add chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth.
I know today everyone is talking about the Nor’easter in the North East but I have a feeling we still have a few fall days left before winter is here to stay. Since the holiday catalogs have already started arriving I looked through Hearth Song’s catalog this weekend. Hearth Song has some really cute cupcake items. My personal favorite are the cupcake rain gear; boots, umbrellas, and raincoats! Prices for these fun items range from $19.98 for the umbrella to $48.98 for the cupcake raincoat which features faces of bunnies and dogs on top of cupcakes.
I just found these Halloween delights at a local bakery, The Bankery, in Skowhegan, Maine. The decorations are all done by hand, and all in frosting. Talk about talented! My son was thrilled, because I couldn’t bring myself to eat the spider, so he got the whole thing! The cat is my favorite, paws down! Happy Halloween!
I just found this fun spider cupcake idea this morning. Use chocolate icing and sprinkles to cover a cupcake, use icing to attach sour ball halves to peppermints for the eyes, use a piece of red licorice for the mouth and Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms for the nose, 8 pieces of black licorice for the legs, and 2 pieces of black licorice for the pinchers.
