I can’t think of a better way to decorate your cupcakes for halloween (or anytime) than with Bake & Destroy‘s super creepy, super awesome Classic Monster Cupcake Toppers.

They are only $6.00 and for something handmade, unique, unable to find anywhere else, what a great deal.

I also love these Horror Poster Cupcake Toppers too.

Basically, Bake & Destroy is going to take over the world with her cupcake toppers and merch. To be a part of take over, get an awesome shirt (I have the shirt and the hoodie. Srsly.)

Last but not least, she featured a delicious Pumpkin Cupcake recipe on her blog last year, and I am tempted to try but, but like her, what the heck is cream sherry? Hm…

She says “I was really trying to avoid the cliche of pumpkin cupcakes in October, but the other day my mother-in-law bought grocery store cupcakes right in front of me! I almost protested but then I realized I hadn’t baked for the woman in ages. She loves pumpkin, as does my husband and I happened to have a can in my cupboard. This recipe is from 125 Best Cupcake Recipes by Julie Hasson.”

Get the recipe here.

Yes you heard right! Free cupcakes! A whole bunch of them! Thanks Stephany! She posted the info below:

Work has been a bit wild and crazy these last few days as we’re gearing up for the annual Out and About in Rockridge Festival this Sunday. Our store hosts a Picnic in the Street at the festival every year, giving away tons of treats and talking to folks about food. This will be my first year working the event, and I’m excited to be manning the cupcake table. We’re having a kids cupcake decorating station, and I’ll be on hand to help them frost and sprinkle their own little cakes. And I’m pretty sure no one will turn you away if you’re over 18 and want to have some fun too.
I made forty pounds worth of vanilla frosting yesterday! Good heavens it was impressive to look at. We’re going to have 250 each vanilla and chocolate cakes, with both vanilla and chocolate frosting. It’s the largest amount of cupcakes I’ve made in one go. I’m a little sad that I won’t be getting there until the last few hours of the event (due to having to work my other job in the morning), but hopefully I’ll still get to help lots of kids have fun. What could be better than helping them make cupcakes? I mean really…
So if you’re in the Bay Area come on by. We’re also giving away turnovers for the more savory folk. I’d recomend the chicken, its yummy. The spinach on the other hand…. just don’t choose than unless you LOVE mint in your savory food.

Can you believe it? It was only a matter of time before converse came out with cupcake designs! I mean.. seriously.

Journey’s is carrying this cupcake converse and you can buy them on the website for 49.99! See the shoes here!

With my web design business taking up all of my free time, I need someone to sort of fill my spot when I am swamped, as I am unable to post daily to this site for the time being. I am looking for someone who is SERIOUS about this and who is able to post numerous times a day. I need someone who will be able to post consistently. Not for just one week only.

Will discuss an incentive, bonus, cupcakes, qualifications… please e-mail me at [email protected]
