Minnie Driver & Her Cupcakes

Posted by on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Minnie Driver is one of celebdom’s least divariffic citizens; she’s affable, funny, charming, blah, blah, blah. But she isn’t above a little muscle-flexing … to get the cupcakes she wants.

TMZ caught up with Minnie outside of NYC’s Magnolia Bakery — the famous one — and she was visibly irritated about having to wait in a (not very long) line.

Cupcake Crazy at Hot Topic!

Posted by on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

I’ve posted before about my love for Hot Topic and while on a business trip to the States last week I made sure we went to the nearest store so I could spend a good hour in there looking for goodies!! I wasn’t looking for cupcake things in particular but managed to come across these two lovely buttons for me to buy:

The first is a Jeffree Star one which is available on their site, here. The second, I’m assuming is a Loungefly one which unfortunately I can’t find but it should be in the store if you happen to be passing ;)

Jeffree Star ButtonLoungefly Cupcake Button

This led me to have a mooch around the online store when I got back to see what other cupcake-related items you could get from them at the moment, so here’s a couple…

First we have the Invader Zim Gir Cupcake Pig Tote, I’ve provided a close up so you can see the pattern better. This is $19.99

And second, the Morbid Metals 14 Gauge Cupcake Bones Curved Barbell – for all you girlies who have a tummy piercings, just $10.00.

Why the name, Cupcake?

Posted by on Friday, February 22nd, 2008

After winning a contest for an adorable cupcake calendar from CB, I just now realized it had a cute definition of what a cupcake is, on the back.

Cupcakes have been around since the late 18th century. The term “cupcake” is mentioned in E. Leslie’s Receipts of 1828. The name is said to come from the amount of ingredients used to make them – a cup of flour, cup of butter, cup of sugar and also because they were originally baked in tea cups or cup shaped molds.

So technically, a cupcake IS a cupcake without frosting. It’s not the frosting or topping that makes it a “cupcake”. It’s the ingredients.. and how it is baked.

Wa-la!

Is your wall too boring for words? Is baking the yummies and leaving them on the counter not good enough? Do you prefer to count cupcakes instead of sheep while trying to snooze?

Add a few cupcakes to your home decor! Found these on Amazon.com, “these pre-pasted, vinyl-coated wallpaper cutouts form beautiful accents and are a wonderful way to create great looking wall decor and accessories with just a little water and no artistic talent required.” D would probably rather me stick these on the wall then paint.
