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!

Lego: Creative Cakes

By on Sunday, February 5th, 2012

I remember the Legos I grew up with were the basic primary colors and we mostly built towers and cars.  The Legos I had definitely were not as exciting as this creative cakes set that is available for $24.99.  I love that this set gets girls more involved in playing with Legos, allowing them to make cakes or cupcakes and the lid doubles as a serving tray!

Cupcake Ottomans

By on Thursday, January 26th, 2012

I shiver the think of all the uses I could get out of a cupcake ottoman. You can sit on it, rest your feet on it, store treasures in it, let the kids play with it–what a fantastic addition to your cupcake home decor! I found these at Meijer for $49.99 each. These were the only two colors I found, but there weren’t many left when I got there, so your Meijer might have more options!

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.”

Elmo Cupcakes!

By on Thursday, January 19th, 2012

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!

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?

FAO Schwarz Cupcake Backpack and More

By on Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

Growing up in Connecticut I remember it was always fun to visit the Stamford Connecticut mall.  The mall had crazy escalators that seemed to float in mid air as they transversed from one level to another across the center of the mall.  The mall had an A&W All American Food which as kids seemed like a special treat.  Most importantly, located inside the mall was an FAO Schwarz toy store.   As a kid, it was hard to beat a toy store, especially one as great as FAO Schwarz, which is now one of the oldest operating stores in the US.

The FAO Schwarz store is long since gone from the Stamford Mall but the New York City and online stores are still open.  I was looking around the online store and was excited to find some awesome cupcake items.  My top favorite is the FAO Exclusive Pinkalicious 12.5 inch cupcake backpack!  Although it’s small the $14.99 backpack is really cute and I know little girls would love the backpack shaped like a cupcake after having had a heart shaped backpack when I was little.
