Are you looking for a way to stay cool this 4th of July?  These cupcakes might not actually be cold, but they would be a great addition to your holiday festivities.  The recipe uses three colors of cake batter and frosting, and sugar crystals give the snow cone cupcake its “icy” appearance.

Now that is a sweet lizard. Why haven’t I ever thought to put an iguana on my cupcakes? Check out Rodesa’s Flickr photostream for more cool cakes and cupcakes!

Are you in need of a fun summer baking project for your kiddos?  Or maybe your child is just dying to get involved making their next birthday cupcakes?  Check out these kids’ custom cupcakes that one Mama let her daughter decorate for her classmates.  Your kids can use food coloring markers to make decorations of their choice on white fondant.  This would be a relatively mess-free way to get your kids involved in the baking process.

I don’t know if I could handle the constant hunger cues, but these wall stickers would look cute in a child’s bedroom or kitchen. A set of 12 is only $10 on Amazon! The cupcakes measure: 6 – 3.25″ x 6 – 1.75″. And you can move them without damaging the stickers or the walls, so there’s no major commitment involved!

I have a confession to make- I am a craftaholic!  I love to try new crafts every few months and my most recent endeavor has been sewing.  So far I have made several bags, dresses and beanbags.   It is so much fun to start with a flat piece of fabric and turn it into something new.  So for all you cupcake fans out there who are also sewers like me, I found some great fabric that marry those two loves from Fabric.com.  FYI- I have also found cupcake fabric at  Joanne’s, Hobby Lobby and even my local Walmart.

Check out these cute handmade cupcake earrings from Scandalicious! Only $7! And you’re bound to find other goodies while you’re there!

My friend sent me a link to Lace Affair’s website after doing a quick search and seeing the cute cupcake products the company offers.  I really want one of the sweet as a cupcake hooks that cost only $7.99.

Now that it’s officially summer and HOT outside I am considering buying the icing on the cupcake dress for $38.99.  The website also sells cupcake earrings and a cupcake bank!
