In this spirit, I also want to share my favorite Monkey Face Cupcakes. I’ve had a blast making these with my kids, and they had a great time eating and playing with the fondant as if it was Playdoh.
Any cupcake cake or icing would be fine as the fun part really lies within making the monkey faces toppers; hoever, if I were making this to impress, I would match it with this Banana Bread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.
For the topper itself, Aine explains the process:
Another option would be to not make an entire head, but just the face. The face can then be applied on top of the cupcake and icing similar to these cupcake below from prettysweet boutique.

So today we start the Countdown to Christmas Cupcakes …Everyday until Christmas I will post decorating ideas for those lovely Cupcakes that you will all be making for your friends and family this Holiday Season. My team and I also discussed this idea and we know that not everyone celebrates Christmas so I will be fitting in other Holidays that occur during this time.
If any of you readers have any of your Christmas creations or ideas you want to share with us we would love to have them. Even if you find an interesting cupcake liner or topper for Christmas or any of the other Holidays such as Chanukah and Kwanzaa please share with us.
I myself may even share some of my lovely Christmas Creations with everyone.
So lets get this show on the road …
Today I present you with the one and only Marthas Stewart, and her creation.
These are a lovely way to break yourself into the season with these Holly Cupcakes. They remind me of the snow and Christmas Wreaths … These would also be great to make with your lil’ ones!
This was taken from MarthaStewart.com!
Stay tuned in for more … Happy Holiday Everyone!

My best friend told me about this restaurant and I had to share it! Located in New York City, Burgers and Cupcakes has only two options on its menu. There is a variety of burger choices as well as an assortment of cupcake flavors to choose from. The menu includes breakfast burger choices one of which is bacon, egg, and cheese. Or select a breakfast cupcake like spiced apple with yogurt and granola. As their website says, the burgers will please the guy in your life while cupcakes will of course make you happy, it sounds like a win-win dining destination.
Cannelle et Vanille made these delicious looking Sweet Potato, Yogurt and Hazelnut cakes. I generally do not like sweet potatoes but these look so good I am tempted to make them. Possibly when my whole family is together for Christmas since the post says that the first time she made the recipe it was gone before she could style or photograph them. The cupcakes shown were topped with a simple mascarpone and mace icing.
Janderyn Makris of earthandsugar bakery supplied us with these stunning photos of cupcakes in the wild. I believe these rare shots of cupcakes in their natural state were taken in the forests of Palm Beach county Florida!
In all seriousness, earthandsugar bakery is committed to making organic cupcakes using fair trade chocolate and cocoa powder, whole vanilla beans, fresh fruit, organic butter cream, and natural food dyes.
I believe they deliver to the southern Florida area after completing their order form.
For the past 2 weeks my Mom kept telling me, ” I bought something for you!! Check Your Mail!”. So I did as i was told and checked my mail for a few days, I had no idea what she could have sent me! One day I go to the post office and I see thaI have a package and as soon as I saw the box I knew it was Christmas Ornaments from my Mom. But what kind of ornaments? Well look at my tree and see …

Here is the lovely tree & in all its glory …
You can get these ornaments at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland.
Thanks Mom! <3
I have an obsession with making cupcakes out of Perler Beads and I have a TON of them!
They are all really cute and I think they would be great additions to your page!

Thanks for sending us your artwork Kathryn! I think if you set these Perler Bead cupcakes inside a picture frame with pastel backgrounds, they would serve as fantastic decoration pieces for any room of the house.
As a fun idea for new uses for old things, Real Simple Magazine suggests using foil cupcake liners as light embellishments. Now is the perfect time to make them since the minilights are easy to find for holiday decorations. The instructions are as follows:
For a string of minilights that takes the (cup)cake, poke the pointy bulbs through foil cupcake liners. Use them for the tree or around your little girl’s bedroom mirror to make her feel like a holiday star.

Sadly I am unable to translate this site and the description despite my years of high school French. I do however know a cupcake when I see one! I can also deduce that “en stock” means that this cupcake card is available for purchasing.

For some time now I have known about Tuesday with Dorie which is an online club that aims to bake all the recipes for Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook Baking: From My Home to Yours. What I did not know was that the same concept had been applied to the Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book. The club is called MSC (Martha Stewart Cupcake Club) and the end goal of the club is to bake all 175 cupcake recipes. To accomplish this, each month on a rotational basis, one member chooses one recipe that has not yet been made. The members then blog about their version of the cupcakes or post them to the group’s flickr. While the club is currently not accepting new members the website says that there will be openings soon.
I was just bumming around online and i stumbled across these lovely ingenious water bottles from CafePress. Perfect Christmas gift for the one cupcake lover that cant seem to get in all their water in one day!
