Here on the east coast of the US we have yet to have a large snowfall this year.  Most people seem pretty happy about this but I have to admit, I would love a good snowday.  And forget the snowman, igloo and snowball fight-  I want snow cupcakes!  Check out this wonderful submission from All Things Cupcake fan, Barb.  We are guessing that she used water and food coloring to make the colors.  Very impressive!

So have you had much of the white stuff yet this winter?  Make sure to post your snowy dessert creations on Facebook or email them to us here. 

So many people ask me what my favorite bakery is and I always have to answer Crumbs! I love their huge, overly sweet treats. They do tend to be a bit pricey but to me, they so worth it.   And even if you don’t live close to a Crumbs, they will deliver. They have a variety of shipping options but the cheapest is  UPS ground shipping for about $20 (plus the cost of the cupcakes).  They come delivered in an insulated container with dry ice.  Check out these football cupcakes- great for the party that has a mix of Giants and Patriots fans. 

A great friend of mine just emailed me about some great items on clearance at Pier 1. I think they would make great Valentine’s gifts.  Check out these adorable sales and make sure to look at the cupcake items not reduced because they are just as sweet!

Finding cupcake jewelry that doesn’t look too kiddish can be tough.  So today I headed over to Etsy to see what kind of cupcake earrings I could wear with pride without someone asking me, “Are those your daughter’s earrings? ”

If you have a young one in your family, odds are you have visited Build a Bear for them to make a furry new friend.  But here’s a great reason to go back and get something for yourself! 

This new “I Heart Cupcakes Confetti Cupcake Bear” is shown with all these optional accessories for $45 but you can buy just the bear for $20.  They have several other cupcake birthday animals and this adorable animal carrier.  I wonder if I might get strange glances walking around the mall wearing this cupcake carrier with a cupcake bear in it?

Target does it again! In their dollar area I just found these cute cupcake bins, cards, erasers and felt bags. They also had gift bags, window gel stickers and plastic plates.  I love dollar finds!  I also found cupcake birthday party items in their party area.  Not a dollar but still great prices!
