Now she is wearing cupcake too. :)

Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m from South Jersey. I’m starting Pastry School in a few days, so yesterday I decided to get a cupcake tattoo on my hip. It is my first tattoo (since I just turned 18 in may) and probably my last, but I love it! I came across this website looking for ideas, so I figured I’d send mine in now that it’s finished. Thanks for the inspiration!
CupKates Bakery joins mobile cupcake fray with a cupcake truck that serves the East Bay area. CupKates announces that its cupcakes are baked fresh daily using only the highest quality ingredients, including Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, Guittard chocolate, and Clover sweet cream butter and milk.

According to their twitter page, it seems like CupKates is still figuring out their cupcake truck route. Take the time to sound off to encourage them to stop by your home or office!

I often have a difficult time figuring out a great gift for baby showers. After all, not only the baby receiving this gift, but the mom as well. Typical gifts such as infant toys, baby consumables, gift certificates are all good choices, but they seem to be a little lacking in imagination.
Diaper cupcakes present a convenient solution. It is both imminently practical, has visual impact as a gift, and entirely customizable to any theme relevant for the baby and family you have in mind.
If you like craftsy or hands-on projects, these step-by-step instructions will help you get started. Here are some diaper cupcake visuals to inspire your creativity:
Of course professionally made cupcakes gifts are also available. One vendor, Baby Sweet Treat, makes not only cupcakes, but sundaes and lollipops as well.
Joining a growing list of metropolitan cities served by the growing cupcake truck trend is Philadelphia. Buttercream was started by Kate Carrara who turned a career in law into a career in sweets.

A couple weeks ago we reported rumors of a giant 7,000 lb cupcake being planned. The initial plan was an unveiling event that included breaking the Guinness record as well as selling each 1 lb cupcake “slice” for $5 to benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. If successful, a single cupcake would net a cool $35,000 for charity!
Instead of putting a 7,000 lb of cupcake batter inside an oven, an oven was constructed and hoisted on top of the batter. During an all-night baking process, the bakers were horrified to find that a heating element had dislodged in the middle of the night and had split the massive cupcake in half. Scrambling to bake a new cupcake in time for the event, they rallied to make a smaller cupcake through the night.
The new cupcake took 12 hours to fully bake and weighs in at a record setting 1,224 lb, still shattering the old record by a massive margin.

Baltimore’s hottest boutique is celebrating its second sweet year of outfitting the City’s most fashionable women. Voted “Best Boutique” by Baltimore Magazine in 2006, Cupcake continues to gather accolades and attention from local media and fashionistas alike.
“It’s been a phenomenal two years,” said Lisa Schatz, Cupcake president. “We’ve evolved along with the tastes of Baltimore’s modern women, adding new vendors and styles that are usually found in the boutiques of New York and L.A.”
Quickly becoming a sought after fashion expert, Lisa has been featured by the Baltimore Sun, Style and Baltimore magazines, as well as appeared on WBAL and Fox 45. The store will also be enjoying a national placement in an upcoming issue of InStyle magazine.
“It’s crucial keep current in the world of fashion because everything changes so quickly,” said Schatz. “It also helps for when the media call for a trend watch or style update, we’ve got exactly what they need.”
According to Schatz, this season’s styles are all about being a girl. Be on the lookout for these fall/holiday trends:
Some of the vendors featured at Cupcake this spring include Nicole Miller, BCBG, Black Halo, Trina Turk, Bianca Nero, NU Collective, Vince, Max & Cleo, J Brand jeans, Lofli, and 525 America.
“One of the best parts about being a local business is getting to know the customers and forging a personal relationship with them,” said Schatz. “Welcoming them by name, knowing what they like, remembering what styles look best on them, that’s the kind of attention a Cupcake customer can expect.”
Being a local business, Schatz has also become an important member of the Fells Point community, in addition to hosting various charitable events in her store.
