Lego: Creative Cakes

By on Sunday, February 5th, 2012

I remember the Legos I grew up with were the basic primary colors and we mostly built towers and cars.  The Legos I had definitely were not as exciting as this creative cakes set that is available for $24.99.  I love that this set gets girls more involved in playing with Legos, allowing them to make cakes or cupcakes and the lid doubles as a serving tray!

Kohl’s Valentine’s Day Cupcake Items

By on Monday, January 30th, 2012

Last week I ran into my local Kohl’s and was excited to see all of the cupcake items they were offering for valentines day.  You could easily decorate your whole kitchen in red, pink, hearts, and cupcakes!  These items would  also make great gifts for your special valentine.  For the kitchen there are cupcake placemats, aprons, kitchen towels and a vinyl tablecloth.  The table wouldn’t be complete without the 3 stacking bowls, cupcake shaped mug and spoon, and the serving platter.  You are also going to want the cupcake hand towel and my Kohl’s had a cute cupcake sign that isn’t on the website.  These cupcake items are on sale and affordable so be sure to stop by your local Kohls since Valentine’s Day is only two weeks away!

I really think I need this cupcake pillow cover! I love the repeated cupcake pattern and the hearts on top of the cupcakes!  The pillowcover measures 15.7”x15.7” and is $44.00 from Madura Home.

Skymall Cupcake Rug

By on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Sometimes I buy items to give as gifts pretty far in advance.  While it’s great being prepared it can be hard to keep things a secret.  I bought this cupcake rug from Skymall in the fall and saved it to give as a gift this month.  I know the recipient reads ATC on a regular basis so I had to resist writing about the rug until after the gift was given.  The rug was $29.95, measures  30″L x 28”H, and actually looks really nice.  Skymall has a few other cupcake items available on their website so if you buy the rug be sure to look around the site!

Society 6 Cupcake Prints

When I Grow Up Print-Stephanie Corfee

Over the weekend I spent some time browsing around Society6 checking out some of the different artwork the site has to offer.  I loved some of the fun cupcake prints that are available!  Since it’s been raining the past few days in North Carolina the Pick Me Up On A Rainy Day print seems perfect.  I also really like the When I Grow Up print, I would love being a cupcake sprinkler too!  The Operation Cupcake Printwas another one that I liked.  I love that the cupcakes were brave enough to jump out of the plane!  Each print is available in different sizes and there are lots of other cupcake prints to choose from!

Cupcake Chair Covers

By on Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

I know we keep sharing cupcake items from Perpetual Kid but this one was too good to not tell you about!  How fun are these cupcake chair covers? I love them and love the idea of using them for a birthday party, although in a cupcake lovers kitchen, they would make great everyday decor.  Each chair cover costs $24.99 and you can choose from either pink or blue.

Little Bit O’Spice

By on Monday, January 16th, 2012

My cousin attends High Point University in North Carolina and for her birthday we decided to send her cupcakes.  Knowing Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes are her favorite we wanted to send her a half dozen but quickly realized the shipping from New York to North Carolina was crazy and cost more than the cupcakes!  Instead we decided to try to find something more local and affordable.  In our search we came across Little Bit O’Spice and we were incredibly happy to purchase the cupcakes from them.  Little Bit O’Spice, located in High Point, North Carolina, makes custom cakes, cupcakes, and pies.  After calling to inquire about placing an order we found out how easy Little Bit O’Spice made the process, she was even willing to deliver the cupcakes to the dorm at the University!

We needed to order a minimum of a dozen cupcakes so we chose six vanilla and six Oreo.  Little Bit O’Spice offered to include a card and was willing to work with us on the delivery date.  She took PayPal for payment and for a $3.00 fee was able to deliver the cupcakes to the dorm as long as she had the dorm name and the recipients phone number.  I talked to my cousin on Saturday after she received her birthday cupcakes and she loved them.  She said that it was a great surprise and the cupcakes were great.

You can place orders by calling 336-905-4353 or through Little Bit O’Spice’s website where you’ll find other items like cupcakes on pretzel sticks!
