Red Velvet Cupcake Night Light

By on Monday, February 6th, 2012

Still looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift? Check out this ceramic cupcake night light from Angel Heart Designs. This night light measures a little larger than an actual cupcake at 3″ by 2 1/4″ by 4 1/4″. These ceramic cupcakes are handmade and show a soft yellow light. It could be yours for $19!

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!

Wilton Kids

By on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

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.”

Fred Flare Valentine’s Day Cupcake Items

By on Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Fred Flare is ready for Valentine’s Day with a section of the website already dedicated to Valentine’s Day items perfect for the one you love!  I really like the fortune cookie cupcakes!  The $15.95 kit comes with 75 cupcake liners, 30 wrappers with fortunes, and a recipe book! The kit is actually versatile, it could be used for the chinese new year, or any occasion really!  The cupcake shower cap that costs $10 just makes me laugh! I wouldn’t actually wear the shower cap but it would be fun to give or receive as a joke.

Build a Bear Cupcake Bear

By on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

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?

Kitty Cupcake Toppers

By on Monday, January 9th, 2012

Before Christmas my family and I attended Durham North Carolina’s Rock and Shop Market.  It’s a really fun event that combines craft vendors, food trucks, and local musicians.  One booth that I made a purchase from was Magic Bean Buyer who specializes in collectible keepsake clay figurines and illustrations.  For $8.00 I bought one of Magic Bean Buyer’s gray kitty cupcake toppers to give as a Christmas gift.  The cupcake toppers come in three additional colors including brown, black tuxedo, and siamese.

Cupcake Wrapping Paper

By on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

My friend’s birthday is coming up and while I have already purchased her gift I have yet to wrap it.  I have my eye out for cupcake wrapping paper and I spotted this cupcake wrapping paper on Perpetual Kid.  The faces of the cupcakes remind me of the Bad Cupcake bag I got at Cal Poly Bookstore two years ago.  It’s $3.99 for two sheets of 20X30 inch paper.
