Here in Chicago the leaves are beginning to turn magnificent hues of red, orange and yellow. I took several walks today just to get out and enjoy the pleasant weather and the spectacular colors of fall. As I strolled through our neighborhood I wondered what kinds of fall leaf cupcakes were out there, and I found this kit when I googled it. The kit comes with 24 cupcake liners, 12 cupcake toppers in 4 different designs, and 12 case wrappers. I love the colors, and these wrappers and toppers would really dress up your cupcakes.
One thing I am beginning to miss as the winter sets in are flowers, so I began a search for inspiration flower cupcakes to remind me of spring. Here are some of the best creations I found on the interwebs made by professional bakers, at-home enthusiasts, and even a jeweler!
See the 20 inspiring and elegant flower cupcakes after the jump and get to know the people that created them in the picture captions.

Owls seem to be all the rave these days. I see them everywhere, from baby clothes to jewelry to school supplies. Cupcakes are no exception; there are plenty of owl designs out there. I love the creative candy selection used to make these (Mike & Ikes, jelly beans, gummy rings, and frosting).
Be sure and take a look at some previous owl cupcakes posted on ATC (Halloween Hoot Owls and owls made from oreos, Reese’s Pieces, and candy corn). Owl cupcakes seem to be a great way to use up some extra Halloween candy…or a great excuse to go buy some of your favorite candy! You can definitely be creative with these and come up with your own unique combinations.
Imagine my excitement when I found these iron on “Rhine Studs” at our local A.C. Moore!
I knew there was a reason I owned an iron!
I see a new cupcake purse in my future!
When I think of fall, apples come to mind pretty quickly. There are trips to the apple orchard, hot apple cider on a crisp, cool evening, warm apple pies, apple-scented candles, and of course, caramel apples. These caramel apple cupcakes from Taste of Home would be a yummy and festive way to welcome the fall season.

For all of you candle lovers out there or for those that just enjoy their homes smelling fragrant and wonderful Scentsy provides warmers in a vast array of colors, styles, and designs. These warmers contain a light bulb inside that heats pieces of fragrance bars and disperses amazing scents (of your choice of course, Scentsy warmers are similar to tart burners just without the candle and the mess). Last month Scentsy introduced this new mid-size warmer…a cupcake!
Thanks to a good friend of mine, I am a proud owner of this adorable Scentsy warmer! If you have never tried Scentsy I recommend that you do, it is wonderful! You can learn more about Scentsy or find a consultant in your area to purchase this cupcake warmer from by visiting www.scentsy.net.

Over the years Halloween has become one of my favorite holidays. I love the cooler weather, the colors and decorations, and most importantly the desserts. If I was going to a Halloween party this year I would without a doubt be making these buried skeleton cupcakes! I can just see little boys loving and little girls being grossed out by these cupcakes with decapitated skeletal parts! These cupcakes are actually pretty easy to make once you find the little skeletons. Add crushed chocolate wafers to your chocolate frosted cupcakes and you have the dirt. For detailed directions visit Holidash!
How you present your cupcakes can be (almost, but not quite) as important as the cupcakes themselves. If you’re in the mood for a fun Halloween craft project, you might take a look at this simple, yet attractive cupcake stand. Step-by-step instructions and a list of supplies can be found here. It’s no doubt that the most challenging part of this project would be keeping yourself from gobbling up the candy corn before it’s all glued on!

Do you send Halloween cards to loved ones who live far away? Or since this year Halloween is on a Monday will you be putting a card is a little ones lunch box? I think this Halloween cupcake greeting card is really fun and it’s available for $3.50 from Rock Scissors Paper. The outside asks “Trick or Treat?” and the inside says “Definitely a treat! Happy Halloween.” I would pick a treat, especially a cupcake, over a trick any day!

Hungry Runner, another contributer here at ATC, posted back in August about some lovely cupcake finds from Forever 21! While browsing the web this morning I also found some cupcake items at Forever21.com that I have to have:
As you all know, cupcakes are really all the rage right now (we hope they will be forever! ). And they are not showing any signs of slowing down in popularity. They are so popular that there has even been a board game for kids centered around cupcakes.
Take the Cake sold at Amazon!
Lets get playing!
Halloween costumes are tons of fun, but we all know that the candy is pretty important, too. Of course, every kid needs a special treat bag where they can stash away their goodies. This cupcake treat bag from Pottery Barn Kids would be excellent for holding all those tootsie rolls and gobbstoppers and snickers bars. Be sure and check out Pottery Barn’s accompanying cupcake costume as well. Happy trick or treating!
Apologies, as I have been remiss in sharing the wonderful reader submitted cupcake tattoos that have come in this year. I will be slowly catching up with the backlog.
Please do continue to share your cupcake tattoos or other creations with us! As with all user submissions, please send large images that are well focused and sharp for the best effect to [email protected]. Definitely include your comments, stories, or thank yous about the tattoo, and we will include it in your picture caption!
The standard and cute cupcake tattoo has been transformed into very personal and intimate forms of artistic expression. This trend continues as we see new cupcake art develop before our eyes.
I found this baby cupcake costume at my local Marshalls. It’s really cute and would look great on a little baby, not to mention it’s only $12.99. While there is not guarantee that your Marshalls will have the costume, my store has several so hopefully yours will too!
Just in case you needed some Halloween inspiration on this first day of October …
