Cupcakes + Valentine’s Day =True Love

Cupcake Place Mat from Kohl’s $4.79 each

I love walking through the stores this time of year because so many stores pair cupcakes and hearts in their Valentine’s decor items. So far I have spotted cuppies in the Valentine’s sections at Walmart, Target, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Christmas Tree Shop and Kohl’s.  So a big thank you to all the stores who join cupcakes and hearts this holiday season.  You make it so much more special for the cupcake obsessed.  All Things Cupcake appreciates you!

White Chocolate Shavings

I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this, but I love it. These white chocolate shavings make a positively elegant cupcake garnish! This photo is courtesy of foodie photographer Esther Fox. And just in case you’ve never played with chocolate shavings before, it is super easy! Just use your vegetable peeler. Then, the next time you go to peel carrots, you’ll have an irresistible cupcake craving!

Let It Snow Cupcakes

By on Friday, January 18th, 2013

 

It snowed last night in North Carolina! Sadly it didn’t stick but I still managed to get a delay from it!  Thinking about the snow has me longing for a real snow day where the bare trees end up looking like these let it snow cupcakes created by Not Your Momma’s Cookie.  She used melted chocolate and a tree template to create the trees.  White chocolate and sparkling sugar were added to create the snowy effect.  She says she entered the cupcakes in a creative holiday recipe contest, I hope she won!

New Pearl Color Mist

By on Saturday, January 5th, 2013

I’ve been using Wilton Color Mist spray on food coloring for a while now. They make decorating easy and everyone thinks I’m a magician. But now they have pearl Color Mist, and this one is hard to beat! It gives the frosting a shimmering look, just perfect for the princess parties in your future! And as a bonus, it made my hand look a little like the tin man.

 

 

Ball Drop Cupcakes

By on Thursday, December 27th, 2012

I have to admit there have been many New Years Eves in my twenty something years  that I have spent watching the ball drop from my couch.  Sometimes it is nicer to just sit at home and relax instead of getting all dressed up and staying up late.  If you are planning on staying in or throwing a little NYE get together, these ball drop cupcakes by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen are the perfect cupcake!  I know they cupcakes and resolutions that go along with the blog post are two years old but they made me laugh so you should definitely read them!
