How lovely is this sweet bakery mobile from Gifts Define? I love the strawberry cupcake and the birthday cake with a candle. While it is a little pricey at $135.00, I think it would make a lovely gift for a new born baby!
I know by now everyone’s see the commercials for Snuggies but have you seen the cupcake Snuggie? Called the cupcake booty buddy and available from Urban Outfitters, this oversized poncho is $89.00. Remember those cold winter holidays are coming if you need a gift for a loved one.
With the school year winding down to an end, many of us are looking for that perfect teacher gift. Take a look at this way adorable Cupcake Teacher’s Ornament by All Things Cupcake sponsor, Amy Miller Designs. I know it isn’t Christmas but stay with me! How perfect would this cupcake look with a bookstore or bakery gift card attached to it? As a former teacher, I can honestly say I would love it! And to top it off, Amy Miller Designs, will personalize this cupcake for your favorite teacher. To cool for school!
I know that the next holiday is Mother’s Day so I should be thinking of my mom before I start thinking about Father’s Day but I spotted this cupcake print tie from Ferramago on the Selfridges & Co website and now I’m wondering what I’ll give my dad this year. I know my dad would never wear a cupcake tie, which is a good thing because he wouldn’t want this tie that costs £115.00! It’s still a fun idea and I’m sure somewhere out there there’s a dad that would wear a cupcake print tie.
There is an amazingly cute new gift on the cupcake market–Cravings from writer Carey Bailey. When Carey became a mom, she noticed that life got a little (or a lot) crazy. So, to help other moms find a few moments of peace and tranquility, she created Cravings, a collection of 40 card-size devotionals based on the Psalms. Each card contains an inspirational Bible verse, a “thoughtlet,” and an action idea. These cards are held in a gorgeous pink cupcake card holder that will be with its owners long after children are grown up (assuming of course that it is kept away from the children!).
This past weekend, I made my first visit to the great city of Indianapolis! And I learned that there’s more to Indianapolis than football and race cars. The folks in Indianapolis know their cupcakes, as is evinced by The Flying Cupcake Bakery, which has four locations in and around the city. The Flying Cupcake’s slogan is “We eat all we can and then sell the rest.” Isn’t that great?
The Flying Cupcake is charming and spunky, just like the city where it was born. Not only do they sell an impressive variety of cupcakes, but they also offer cute t-shirts and even cupcake-inspired baby attire! We choose to sample the Black Bottom, a dark chocolate and cheesecake cupcake that seemed to weigh at least five pounds; the Pucker Up, a lemon chiffon cake filled with lemon cream and topped with lemon butter cream icing; and the Bart Simpson, a chocolate cupcake topped with rich peanut butter cream cheese frosting and then rolled in Butterfinger chunks. These. cupcakes. were. perfect.
Their red velvet cupcake, which they call the “Red Velvet Elvis,” claiming it is “fit for a king,” is loaded with chocolate chunks and topped with cream cheese frosting and white chocolate shavings. My daughter tried the Boston Cream Pie, a vanilla cupcake filled with Bavarian cream and topped with chocolate ganache. I admit, I stole a bite of it, and was happy that I did.
At The Flying Cupcake, the flavors change daily, so I can’t wait to go back for another round. I recommend you do too. You’ll find their daily flavors on Facebook. You can also follow them on Twitter.
Lately I have seen gummy candy in various shapes, I even bought a friend butterfly gummies but I have yet to see cupcake gummies in a store near me. I managed to find blue cupcake gummies online on Crystals Rose Cottage Chic. For $6.00 you can order a dozen cupcake gummies to use as party favors or cupcake toppers. I think any kid would love to sink their teeth into a cupcake gummy!
I have been cautioned by friends in regards to purchasing food from websites with caution so you might want to check with the website owner on their food safety practices before finalizing your purchase.
