Smilebox has cupcakes!

(Image pictured is called Make a Wish)

I am in love with Smilebox! You can make scrapbooks, photo books, Ecards, postcards, and more there! It’s so cool. I added some pics from my cupcake collection…but you could add your own pics! You can also add music! They currently have about 5 designs featuring cupcakes!

You can download Smilebox, personalize any design, and email or blog it for free. You can also do more by purchasing the premium version of a design. The table below explains the differences between the premium and the basic version of a design. (The premium version is only $4.99 per month, but you can always just use the basic one for free!)

Check it out.

Kerri’s Cupcake Tattoo

Posted by on Friday, May 23rd, 2008

I spotted this cupcake tattoo in the photostream of fellow Flickr user Pandaramic and fell in love with the striped candle and the cute little texture dots on the cake itself.

Kerri says the tattoo is by Chris Stuart at Ace Custom Tattoo in Charlotte, NC. Oh, and as an awesome cupcake-related side note, Chris Stuart is friends with Johnny of Johnny Cupcakes.

Posted by on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Did you guys see the woman who got a cupcake tattoo on Miami Ink the other night? Ok, her name is Natalie, she’s heavily tattooed and she loves cupcakes. For a sec I thought it was me, but then she said she didn’t bake.  Know who else I wish I was? The owner of THIS awesome cupcake tattoo!

From the candy hearts to the heart-shaped cherry this one goes in the Top Five of best cupcake tattoos I’ve ever seen.

This one was poked by Kapten Hanna @ Just Good Tattoos in Portland, ME.

Lux-Sugar Cupcakes and my not so good experience.

Posted by on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

There comes a time, I suppose, where we have to share our experiences.. good or bad. I have been contemplating how to go about this as I’ve never really had a negative experience that involves cupcakes… until today.

I recently saw a post on Cupcakes Take The Cake , about Lux Sugar, and how they ship and have perez hilton cupcakes. Awesome! I personally, like to order online so I can write up awesome reviews on ATC.. and of course, I always forget to mention that I do write for ATC but maybe that’s a good thing.. right?

I placed an order on their website and didn’t receive any sort of response for a few days and then when I did receive a response, it was an apology that their store wouldn’t let them view orders. Understandable. They gave me a coupon for 6 free cupcakes. Thanks.. but I’m not sure if I will use it.

The box came today.. and the cupcakes were hidden, in the midst of packing peanuts.. I pull out the cupcake box and this is what I see:

Needless to say, I was beyond disappointed. It was definitely a cupcake catastrophe and I don’t think I will be ordering from them. ever. again.

Sigh. Was it just my order? Has anyone else had this experience?

Pistachio and Couscous Cupcakes with Honey Orange Flower Buttercream cup and single

Posted by on Saturday, May 17th, 2008


One of my own "from scratch" recipes as Pistachios are my most
favourite nut, along with Macadamias and okay, Cashews aswell.
I love buttery soft textures that melt and provide a warming sweetness for the palate.
I have made pistachio cupcakes before in my Maghreb series, this
time I wanted to achieve a more ‘grown up’ package of more subtle
flavours with completely different styling.
Couscous is an amazing food and can be used in applications of all kinds, I adore it and could happily substitute rice or pasta for couscous all the time.
I wanted to see how couscous would become a "part" of the cupcakes and what texture and flavour it would deliver.
The couscous was steamed for 5 mins until light and fluffy, allowed to cool before adding to the batter.
The buttery pistachio paste and the soft al dente wheaten character
of the couscous a very satisfying, hunger quelling snack.
The buttercream was made from a boiled Honey and Orange Blossom water syrup, beaten into egg yolks until totally cooled then unsalted butter was whipped in piece by piece until creamy, smooth and soft as silk.

The colour palette was to be natural and not "bazarre" (excuse the pun) as those in the Maghreb series. I feel they naturally reflect the essence of the ingredients used in this recipe.
