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.

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!

Love,

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.

Forever MK Cupcakes recently launched their “Create a Cupcake” factory.

Lovey7 writes in with her intricate take on Thanksgiving Cupcakes. The detail on the fruit toppers spilling out of the horn of plenty is very impressive.

Turkeys masquerading as other holidays!

These yummy turkey cupcakes are submitted by Lisa Griswold.

I made these cupcakes for Thanksgiving.  The turkeys are “drawn” with chocolate on wax paper and then flipped over to reveal a cute and edible cupcake topper!

Happy Holidays!

Fantastic!  Here is another examples of chocolate art.  More here at Instructables on how to make your own chocolate painting.

Koko Candles asks you to take a moment and indulge… a cupcake candle!

Chocolate brownie cake (sinfully rich chocolate scented) with fluffy pink frosting (vanilla scented) drizzled in chocolate (wax) syrup, sprinkled with white & red (real) sprinkles and topped off with a jumbo juicy red cherry! what a mouthful!

At approximately 3″ diameter x 3″ height (excluding stem), this cupcake candle burns for up to 25 hours.

Ditsy Daisies features cupcake soaps from Cupcakes and Cartwheels.  Each set comes with 3 flavors: vanilla, lemon, and strawberry.  Each soap is around 2.5″ X 2.5″ and individually wrapped for safe transit.

So I’m not sure if you are, but I am a Twilight fan, and in honor of New Moon coming out I made caramel apple cupcakes! I baked apple cupcakes, cut out the center &added caramel, then topped them with cream cheese frosting. I dipped them in red sugar, then added a pretzel and a mint leaf! I used the recipe found at iheartcuppycakes.

My boyfriend even took a picture of me holding one of the cupcakes in my hand and edited it like the first bookcover! =]

Hi there! Yesterday I made Sweet Potato cupcakes using fresh baked yams, and topped them with mounds of roasted marshmallows! I used the sweet potato cupcake recipe in Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book! My grandma ALWAYS makes sweet potatoes with marshmallows on Thanksgiving, so i figured this would be a perfect fall treat for my family and friends! I attached a picture to this email!

My daughter celebrated her 1st birthday with a cupcake themed party.  I had a giant cupcake made and it turned out absolutely adorable!

Hope you can share this with others!

Hi, I love the site and cupcakes :)  I recently made this cupcake cake for my niece’s 4th birthday.  It was chocolate with pink buttercream, and the decorations were all handmade by me with fondant and edible sparkles.  Enjoy <3 Tiffaney from cakesbytiffaney.blogspot.com

Beautiful work Amanda. The details on the decorations are very impressive! They remind me of these Twitter Cupcakes.

This week we have some non-traditional cupcake tattoos! They look fantastic.

Here is a tattoo someone got of my barfing cupcake.  You can also buy a barfing cupcake button (cuter than it sounds…) that i designed from this website.

thanks!

I love your site! It’s so fun to go to. When ever I feel down I look on it and it makes me happy.

At the end cupcakes costumes are overwhelmingly sweet.

Just wanted to share pictures of my daughter’s cupcake costume (instructions from the Food Network). Thought you would get a kick out of it.  I thought it was the most original costume I saw all night…maybe I’m a little biased! ;-)

— Liz

Hello! My daughter was thrilled with her cupcake costume this year, and to have Mommy as her baker!:)

The costume was custom made by Brittany sweetplume.etsy.com
The Pink Sprinkles Cupcakes Earrings were custom by SaintsNSinners.etsy.com
Cupcake Tote(for trick or treating): lmgboutique.etsy.com
My Cupcake Party Hat: tiffytart.etsy.com

Enjoy!:)

First I bought yardage of felt online in light pink and brown, I laid out some guesstimations as to how wide I wanted the diameter of the ‘icing’ to drape outward and the skirt length/volume of the ‘ripples’ for the cup. The rest thereafter was just taking things in to fit perfectly. Also, to add more cupcake volume/goodness, I added a second and third layer of ‘icing’ that would tie on across the bust and back. Felt is a very forgiving fabric and was so fun to work with! I topped off the ‘icing’ with an array of complimentary colored jimmies to complete the ensemble! And lastly, I created a fabulous headband with a giant, bead-adorned strawberry; whipped cream frills and a white ribbon burst for a touch of girly-charm.

Some cupcakes do scare me: super dry cake with face crushingly sweet frosting. These dear readers find their own scary cupcakes.  One in a Tim Burton inspired creation, the second as the victim to those seeking her sweetness!

I am an avid follower of the website and I have a huge cupcake obsession that is constantly fueled by the amazing cupcakey goodness I find there! I live in the UK and cupcakes are not as celebrated here as I think they should be. So, with this in mind, I decided to make a personal homage to the cupcake with a Tim Burton-esque cupcake costume for Halloween! It is entirely handmade, from the purple glittery cherry on my head to the handmade bows on my shoes! This is my first attempt at a handmade costume and I was so proud of my efforts that I wanted to share them with All Things Cupcake and fellow cupcake fans.

I hope you like it!

So, not only do I have a cupcake tattoo (that you’ve featured) I went all out on a big cupcake costume for halloween.  At each bar I went to, the doormen were sending people to find me because they thought my costume was just so incredible.  Embarrassing and flattering, especially when I was wearing a laundry basket as the base of the cupcake. – Kelly from NY

It isn’t the materials that make a memorable costume,
it is the imagination and soul!

I got cupcake necklace & resin cupcakes at Etsy & glued to sunglasses. Made my hat myself out of styrofoam. I also make the dogs costumes myself also out of styrofoam & lampshades. The real looking cupcakes I made out of insulating foam in a can. – Lisa from Huntington Beach CA (more pics)

Thanks for the inspiration!  I finally got to the fabric store and rigged up this cupcake costume for my adorable niece.  There’s a pink headband with a cherry on top; we’ll see if she actually manages to keep that on for trick-or-treating. – Laura

Made from recycled materials, nothing was bought.  enjoy :) – M.Peralta

Thank you readers for the Halloween cupcake submissions.  We are always happy to hear from you!  Unfortunately, I received so many that not all of them can be posted, but I will do my best to post throughout this week the best reader cupcakes I have received!

I know this submission is kind of late, but I thought I would share anyway. I made rainbow cupcakes with Jack Skellington frosting. I know rainbows and halloween don’t usually go together, but I can’t help it, I love any and everything colorful and cupcake and I adore Nightmare Before Christmas, so I just combined my loves into a colorful and cute treat. I also have a cupcake tattoo on my foot.

Love your blog, thanks!

Love the blog!! Here are my Halloween Cupcake Creations. :) I thought they turned out great and wanted to share with you too. – Vanessa

Halloween inspires fear in us…  and fear motivates us to innovate?  ATC is happy to celebrate the creativity of its readers this Halloween season.   Here is a halloween cupcake idea sent in by Erin from Sandy, UT:

I just wanted to tell you how much i love your site and  share a cute halloween cupcake idea with all of your readers. My boyfriend Chris and i love to make rainbow/tie-dye cupcakes, so to celebrate the season we put i little twist on the traditional look.

We used the Betty Cocker Neon Gel Food Coloring to get all of these awesome colors(even the green for the icing)

All you need is a boxed white cake mix made according to the instructions. then divide the batter up in to separate bowls and dye each bowl a different color.

Spoon a little bit of each color into a cupcake liner to get the cute layered look then bake according to the box. these cupcakes are always a big hit and very fun to make.

-Erin from Sandy, UT

My husband and I decided that our baby girl (Avalon, 7 months) would be a cupcake for her first Halloween. I needed some ideas and found your website! I bought her a knitted cupcake hat from Etsy, made her a cupcake shirt and pants (cupcake iron-ons), and since she is too young to walk, turned her stroller into a giant cupcake. Thank you for your website and inspiration!

Thank you for sharing with step-by-step photos of such a innovative concept! – ATC

Spooks
by Sandra Liatsos

There’s a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There’s a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.

As Halloween approaches, we are all gearing up for this special day!

hi there! my husband and I came up with this cupcake monster pumpkin, after our daughter, Brooklyn, whom we lovingly refer to as our cupcake. enjoy! mai and david

Spider cupcakes submitted by Colleen.  Do you dare to eat them?

I got this tattoo after many months of waiting. My sister and I have always been into cupcakes, and I wanted to show my love for them as well as my appreciation for her being my sister. After endless hours of looking at other cupcake tattoos, I knew it was time to get my own. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do! – Allison

My name is Julie & I am from Gateshead, UK. I would like to contribute my Cupcake tattoo to your fabulous site! I originally had my cupcake done in Nov last year then finally had it “pimped” 2 weeks ago to put the icing on the cake – so to speak! Haha!

I totally love cupcakes & adore my tattoo! It was done by Danny Edwards & pimped by Dan Kelly both of Voodoo Tattoo in Warrington, UK!

Hello!
Here is my cupcake tattoo with my daughter’s nick name. It was done by my friend Jenny a.k.a. “Little” at Good Luck Tattoo in Santa Cruz. – Vanessa
