Love these floral cupcake toppers from Little Sugar Tops of San Antonio. Check out their Etsy shop, where you can buy cupcake toppers (and then tell people you slaved away all day!).
My cousin attends High Point University in North Carolina and for her birthday we decided to send her cupcakes. Knowing Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes are her favorite we wanted to send her a half dozen but quickly realized the shipping from New York to North Carolina was crazy and cost more than the cupcakes! Instead we decided to try to find something more local and affordable. In our search we came across Little Bit O’Spice and we were incredibly happy to purchase the cupcakes from them. Little Bit O’Spice, located in High Point, North Carolina, makes custom cakes, cupcakes, and pies. After calling to inquire about placing an order we found out how easy Little Bit O’Spice made the process, she was even willing to deliver the cupcakes to the dorm at the University!
We needed to order a minimum of a dozen cupcakes so we chose six vanilla and six Oreo. Little Bit O’Spice offered to include a card and was willing to work with us on the delivery date. She took PayPal for payment and for a $3.00 fee was able to deliver the cupcakes to the dorm as long as she had the dorm name and the recipients phone number. I talked to my cousin on Saturday after she received her birthday cupcakes and she loved them. She said that it was a great surprise and the cupcakes were great.
You can place orders by calling 336-905-4353 or through Little Bit O’Spice’s website where you’ll find other items like cupcakes on pretzel sticks!

Cupcake Pin/Magnet Plater Mould Kit
I am pretty much an ETSY freak and a lover of handmade vintage like items! My latest search on ETSY yielded this lovely lil’ cupcake gem.
Toolkit for Tasty Filled Cupcakes :)
I was paging through the Uncommon Goods catalog the other day when I came across this cupcake corer and decorating set. You can find decorating sets and kits all over the place, but I thought that the corer that’s included in this kit set it apart. Getting just the right-sized filling hole in a cupcake can be fussy, possibly crumbling the cupcake in the process.
In case you’re skeptical about this corer’s usefulness or the quality of the kit in general, Uncommon Goods did a gift lab on this product to see how well it worked. While
Finished Filled Cupcakes!
a manufacturer’s take on their own product isn’t exactly objective, the post is pretty informative about the kit’s performance.
You’ll want to click the link to get the long version, the short version is that the cupcakes weren’t picture perfect, but they turned out better than they would have without the kit. All in all, it sounds like it’s worth the $20 price tag if you’re into making filled cupcakes on a regular basis.
Have you used these?
I’ve been reading around and everyone that has used them says they are really good and make the cupcakes look fantastic, then I stumbled across this post on the Simply Caked Blog. I love the combination of pink and brown they look stunning.
Apparently the cups also come in Red and White and I found a great image of Banana Bread baked in white tulip cups on An Art Nest.
So where can you get them? I can’t find them here in Australia yet, but in the US you can get them from Simply Caked by clicking here. But best of all, as a new ATC Sponsor, Simply Caked has decided to create a special discount for ATC Readers! 15% off your total order!
They are a new store so are constantly expanding their range! To get your 15% off, you will need to type the secret code in the coupon field at checkout. Lean in close and I’ll whisper it to you… ATC15
So let us know what you think of them? and shhh secret squirrel on the code ;)
And the winner is… Cathy!

I think the Malt Ball sounds amazing. It is truly original and I would really love to try it. That could be way more fun for “family movie night” than a box of malt balls :-) Cat
Congratulations! Please send your mailing address to [email protected]. Thanks to all who entered and commented on the Saint Cupcake menu. Special thanks to Saint Cupcake for sponsoring this sweet giveaway!
This is just a reminder that Sunday is the last day to enter our Saint Cupcake giveaway. Click here to enter this giveaway.
Today’s find from Real Simple was Scrumptious Mail-Order Cupcakes. Real Simple complied a list of 8 different cupcakeries that offer to ship their delicious cupcakes. Included on the list are some cupcakes we have blogged about before including Crumbs Cupcakes for Big Appetites and Godiva for Chocolate Lovers. Even this week’s ATC Giveaway, Saint Cupcake, was mentioned for DIY-ers. If you have an occasion that calls for cupcakes, this compiled list may help. I would also like to mention that Georgetown Cupcakes are some of the best cupcakes I have had. I am not sure how well they are shipped but I know they survived a five hour car ride for me to try them and they were great. Similarly Crumbs were brought back on a 2 hour plane ride from New York and tasted fresh the next day when I tried them.
This week I’d like to re-introduce you to one of our fabulous cupcake bakeries, Saint Cupcake. They are no stranger to us here at ATC because we have happily blogged about them before. Check out this previous tempting post. Their homebase bakeries are in Portland Oregon but they ship their wonderful cuppies all over the US. Here’s how it works: Go to their lovely site and choose either 3, 6 or 12 cupcakes. Then use their fancy cupcake selector to build your cupcakes – drag & drop your cake flavors, icings, and sprinkles – and they’ll send them to you in a cute kit along with an icing wand and easy-peasy decorating tips.
This week, Saint Cupcake is giving away 6 cupcakes of your design. Just go to their menu page and pick out your favorite flavor. Then come back to ATC and tell us what it was in the comment area below. One winner will be chosen on May 10th. Thanks Saint Cupcake for sponsoring this delicious giveaway!
In December I was lucky enough to do a review of Stefanie’s Red Velvet Cupcake mix which was delicious! Yesterday I received an email informing me that the Red Velvet Stefanie website had been updated. Now you can purchase the Red Velvet Cupcake mix in addition to new flavors such as Snickerdoodle, Vanilla, and soon, Black and White. Also available on the website are catering orders and cupcake apparel. Stefanie has even added a mix of the month club where you receive two packets of that month’s featured mix and Stefanie’s recipe guide to match the mix. After trying the mix myself, seeing how easy they were to make and how great they turned out, I would recommend anyone visit the site and don’t forget, this is the same Stefanie that came up with The Cheesecake Factory’s Stephanie’s Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake!
Today my local news paper, The News and Observer had an article titled Cupcakes for Grown-up Tastes. For the article the author taste tested 9 cupcake proprietors in the triangle, the name given to Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Out of the 9 cupcake stores and online shops, I am pleased to say I have tried 5 including The Cupcake Shoppe, Bliss, Kelly G’s Cupcakes, Sugar Land, and The Cupcake Bar. The ones that I have not had a chance to try are the online order sites and I have to admit I have never ordered cupcakes online.
Out of the 5 which I have tried I would have to say that The Cupcake Bar is my favorite. On Single’s Night they ways have fun flavors like apple cider or Mexican chocolate. I have had The Cupcake Shoppe’s cupcakes on several occasions and found sometimes they can be a bit dry and have a little too much frosting for my preferences. I still like them and would never pass up the chance to have one of their cupcakes. Kelly G’s cupcakes are also really good and I enjoy going to Open Eye Cafe to do homework and have a cupcake! The article goes into detail with Valentine’s Day options and Tasting Notes for each cupcake company.
If you’ve had the opportunity to try one of the cupcake bakeries from the article be sure to leave a comment to let us know what you thought!
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!
As the weather gets too cold for ice cream, Bergdorf Goodmans offers a fun and tasty way to remember those hot summer days. Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes that come in a set of 4 for $50.00 each. The set includes two of each variation, one with a milk chocolate dipped cone and another with a strawberry-flavored chocolate dipped cone. A second option is the Chocolate Cupcake Set. This set is two solid milk chocolate cupcakes with white frosting and sprinkles. The cost is $28.00 for the set of 2. What is nice is that to ensure freshness, you choose the day you want them to be delivered. They almost look too good to eat, almost.
