Cupcake Cakes!

By on Friday, January 27th, 2012

Check out this new book, Cupcake Cakes, by Lisa Turner Anderson. It’s awesome! It’s full of ideas of how to combine several cupcakes into a greater design–cupcake synergy! And each idea comes with photographs and instructions. It’s inspiring! Want to make a giant pink princess crown out of nine cupcakes? Or how about a cute blue whale out of 13 cupcakes? Or an almost cuddly teddy bear out of 19 cupcakes? Or a soccer ball? Flip-flops? Polka-dotted dinosaur? All of this could be yours!

I was recently wandering around my local Meijer when I discovered that Wilton has a new (and very exciting) line of kids’ cupcake decorating fun. If you’ve got a little baker (or decorator) in your life, you should definitely check this out. Or, even if you don’t, you still might want to check it out.

And here’s a video demonstration of the “Topping Tornado.”

Elmo Cupcakes!

My son (3) claims that Elmo is drastically underrepresented in the cupcake world. But I just found this decorating idea at This Mommy Loves, complete with instructions. She recommends red Wilton cupcake wrappers, but I’ve also seen Elmo cupcake wrappers at my local craft store, so you might want to look for those too!

Cupcake Decor for Valentine’s Day

By on Monday, January 2nd, 2012
 
I am sad to say that Christmas is done and we have at least 10 months until the decor comes back to our local stores.  One bright spot right now is that most retail stores have already made the jump into Valentine’s Day.   And what goes great with Valentine’s Day decorations?  Cupcakes of course!  Check out what Kohl’s has in store for this year! 
   

Placemat

Cookie Jar

 These are just a few of my favorite items.  Kohl’s also has towels, bowls, platters, tableclothes and many more sweet items!
