Tweet Tweet Cupcake Decoration Set & Orange Pineapple Sunshine Cupcakes
By jpower on Saturday, September 18th, 2010Cupcakes of a feather flock together! Apparently, so does good cupcake merchandise, since this is my second great cupcake accessory find from Uncommon Goods. The Tweet Tweet Cupcake Set is $12 and has enough wrappers and toppers for 24 cupcakes, which seems like a decent deal to me. The folks at the Uncommon Goods labs were also kind enough to throw in the recipe for Orange Pineapple Sunshine Cupcakes in their blog post as well:
