Cupcake Animal Dress

By on Monday, September 24th, 2012

My friend showed me this dress on the Black Milk Clothing website and I have got to ask you guys, as the ATC readers, what do you think of this cupcake animal dress by designer James Lillis?  Cupcake bottoms with animal heads make up this skin tight $99.00 dress and I’m not sure I would spend the money on this dress.  Based off the model it looks like the dress is intended for a youthful crowd but then I wonder what young shopper has $99.00 to spend on a dress.  Would you buy this dress? If you did buy it, where would you wear it?

Bug Cupcakes

Halloween is coming up, and so is the fall camping season!  Both are a perfect excuse to make these “Just Bugging You” cupcake cones from the Betty Crocker website.  You can use the ideas pictured, or you can choose different types of bugs or outdoor creatures to make.

 

Truffle Filled Cupcakes

By on Sunday, September 23rd, 2012

If you have gone to a Pampered Chef party you know the best part of the party is getting to try their recipes.  I saw this recipe for White Chocolate Cupcakes with Truffle Filling on their website.  I’m sure you could substitute the white chocolate base for any cupcake recipe and you can add your favorite truffle flavor to the center.  I have not tried this recipe but I think the already liquid chocolate center of the truffle would result in a liquid chocoalte center in your cupcake.  My guess is that it would work better than the Hershey’s Kiss recommendation I blogged about back in June.  Have you tried putting truffles or kisses into cupcakes, if so did either work?

Fall Cupcake Kits at World Market

By on Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Normally I try to enjoy the season we are currently in, if it’s summer I try to enjoy the summer, not wish for cold weather.  When it’s winter I try to embrace the weather not beg for it to be flip flop season but this year I’m with all the other people asking “is it fall yet?”  Here in North Carolina it’s barely cooled down and I am ready for the cooler weather.  I saw World Market has a Fall Harvest section on their website which includes two cupcake kits! The kits include a chocolate turkey cupcake kit or a pumpkin pie cupcake kit.  The turkey kit which costs $7.99 and makes 12 turkeys includes the mix, frosting, eyes, nose, wrappers, and feather picks.  The pumpkin pie kit costs $5.99 and makes 8 pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon frosting.  The kits are the perfect way to enjoy those delicious fall flavors!
