Being the cupcake baker that I am I LOVE the Witon Website and I also follow them on Facebook and todays post was great. It is these Circle of Sorcery Cake and Cupcakes.

Wilton does a great job of telling you exactly what you need and exactly how to do it.

This would be a lovely addition to any Halloween Celebration!

My sister passed this along to me knowing I would love it! Cupcakes baked inside of coffee cups is an adorable idea!  It is a fun idea for a party because the mugs could serve as favors.  And the creative options are endless, the cake could be a hot chocolate, coffee, or even earl grey tea flavor.  It could be decorated simply or to look like an actual drink.   Sweet Paul made these for his niece’s birthday and I am sure that any little girl in a party dress would love them.

It has turned quite chilly here in Maryland this week and I was thinking about how cupcakes can also keep you warm.    Personally, I want all of these Etsy accessories for my little cupcake and myself too!  I wonder how it might look if we walked down the street with all of these items? I think my friends might really refer me for counseling!   Is there Cupcake Addicts Annonymous (CAA)? 

Each of these crafts are from a different seller.  Just click on the photo to go to their shop.

As a followup to the Halloween Cupcake Party with owl motif post, I came across this Owl Cupcake design from emily at My Muffin Thursday blog.

These little owls are so adorable!  All you need are oreos, candy corn, and Reese’s Pieces.  Full recipe and instructions available at My Muffin Thursday.

Many times as I am searching for new cupcake items I come upon handmade items that are truly unusual.  Some of them I couldn’t have even imagined in my wildest dreams.   They are unique (and maybe a bit quirky) therefore worth sharing with you!

Japanese Handmade Nailart with Cupcakes $15

Mosaic Cupcake  $32

Cupcake Breastfeeding Pads $3.25

Watermelon Cupcake Bear $32

I came across this while looking for cupcake costumes and while it’s not exactly a cupcake it still claims to be a cupcake costume.  This is a cupcake chef costume, so instead of being what’s eaten, this time around you could be the baker of the sweet culinary concoction.

And the winner is … Minnie401!
Congratulations! Please email us at [email protected] and give us your full name and address so we can have the set mailed to you. Thanks to all who entered and commented on the wonderful items.  Be sure to enter our next giveaway coming one week from today. Thanks again to csnstores.com for the great prize!

When I came across these I immediately wondered, “why didn’t I think of that?” For years my family has been making tie-dye style angel food cakes and this summer I made red, white, and blue vanilla bean cupcakes for my sister’s return to the US from a summer in Ireland.  But I Heart Cuppy Cakes put me to shame by coming up Candy Corn Cupcakes last October.  The recipe if extra easy if you decide to make your cupcakes semi-homemade by using a box cake mix.

Since my co-worker’s wedding that I am making the cupcakes for is only two weeks away I have contracted wedding fever because weddings seem to be on my mind.  I came across this while looking for alternative designs, even though we have already decided on what we will be doing.  I had to share this wedding cupcake option.

Baked is a cookbook by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito.  It is also two bakery locations, one in Brooklyn, New York and the other in Charleston, South Carolina.  The website include a shop section which allows you to purchase several items including baked goods and apparel.  There is also a new feature which they are offering, Baked Weddings.  They work with you and your budget to meet your needs and desires for your wedding cake, cupcakes, baked goods assortment.  Their designs are unique and modern so if you are looking for something different and a little less traditional white wedding cake I would suggest checking them out.

Tomorrow is the last day to enter to win our Cupcake Stand Set giveaway sponsored by csnstores.com. Please click here to enter!

I have mentioned previously that TJMaxx and Marshall’s are great places to find cupcake items for a bargain. I visited them both this week and they proved me right again. This time I found two pieces of cupcake art for only 12.99 each, that are going to make great additions to my home. 

I was also able to find out that the cupcake dish sets I wrote about a few weeks ago are on clearance. Each item was discounted at least $1 off and some items were discounted up to $3 off! If you happen to come across the matching teapot please let me know, it is the only part of the set I have been unable to locate!

Sometimes I dream about cupcake hunting and trying  new cupcake recipes. I wake up hungry for something sweet  but figure chocolate cupcakes for breakfast might send the wrong message to my kids.   I found these wonderful Etsy bedroom items that might make you dream of cupcakes too.

Cupcake Throw Pillow $7

Cupcake Blankie $15.50

Cupcake Sleep Mask $4

 Cupcake Pajamas $18

Cindy from Skip To My Lou runs a crafts blog chock full of fun ideas.  This week she is highlighting free printable craft project created by Whisker Graphics.  The theme is Halloween as a spooky owl highlights the Halloween Printable Party Invites and Owl Cupcake Toppers.

This craft project has great visual impact and is quite easy.  Simply download the Halloween printables from Skip To My Lou.

Sometimes it isn’t the perfect looking cupcake that wins the heart.  Although they are professionally created, these cupcakes hearken back to a simpler time in our lives when baby blue frosting, simple lettering, and sprinkles bring joy.   We’ve seen many fantastic wedding cupcakes, now this is a fantastic wedding proposal cupcake.

My best cupcake hunter friend sent this to me this morning and I couldn’t wait to share it.  A cupcake car? Yes, it can be your’s  this Christmas for just $25,000!  Neiman Marcus will customize it for you.  This is quite possibly the coolest cupcake item I have ever seen.  It’s tops on my list this year!

Put on your matching hat, slip under the muffin top of your Cupcake Car, and let the world figure itself out for awhile. Get (or give) the sheer, joyful chaos of a gift that is mind-blowing, triple-dog-dare, double-infinity forever cool. Make the kids or grandkids literally squeal with joy. Bring it to work and buzz the breakroom. Crash parades! Putter about the ‘hood. Ever had a crowd of kids chasing after you just for the crazy gleeful heck of it? (No worries, the top speed is a comfy-safe 7 mph.) What’s it made of? A 24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius. Launched at Burning ManSM as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks. Yours will be tricked out with your favorite topping, so start thinking flavors.

Once again as I was doing one of my searches for all things cupcakes online I came across these lovely intricate detailed cupcakes. I contacted Zahirah Motala  that master mind behind these cupcakes of Cupcake D’Lights.

Where is your company located?

I’m based in Durban which is situated on the east coast of southern Africa.

How did you get the idea to ‘paint’ cupcakes, such as your cupcakes and tea cupcakes?

When I decided to do the vintage tea set I really wanted to paint on a design as I love the gorgeous designs you find on the china especially the vintage cups and saucers.

What are a few cupcake tools you couldn’t live without?

That’s a hard one as I really love my tools which I’ve bought over some time. But my favorite ‘find’ was a box of old mini cutters which was being sold for next to nothing and there are some jewels in there which I know I’ll never find again! So it would def be those :)

What is your inspiration for these lovely cupcakes?

Inspiration comes from everything and everywhere sometimes just a pretty piece of fabric or a tea cup might spark an idea. Lately I don’t have time to play as I get fully booked out and it’s generally what people request from me that I need to interpret their brief and add my unique touch.  Sometimes a mistake or something you throw together becomes such a huge hit :) I enjoy those ones the best!

When did your love of cupcakes start?

I am an oil artist by profession so when I was doing a search for pretty cupcakes to paint and I came across Kylie Lambert amazing cupcakes and I fell in love! She has been a huge support and great friend and I really owe it all to this amazing personality.

Do you eat any of the creations you create?

No I never have the time :) but we often bake for the family and I enjoy making new flavors just for home, but the decorated cupcakes never get eaten at home :)

If you had to eat one flavor of cupcake (& frosting) for the rest of your life what would it be?
Kylie shared with me her very amazing chocolate mud cupcake which I only make for special people and for myself! It’s the most divine cupcake ever which I team it up with my delicious cappuccino nougat ganache mmmmm I could never tire of it!

Anything else you want to share about yourself or your company?

I’m really excited that South Africa has finally caught onto the cupcake fever I started way back in early 2006 and everyone laughed at me when I caught onto the fever. I pride myself in being the first person here to do decorated cupcakes. I also see my ideas and styles all over now (Kylies as well) and it’s great to see that you are an inspiration to others.

I would like to thank Zahirah for taking the time to answer these questions.

Please check out her blog for more information and some amazing looking ( & I am sure tasting ) cupcakes!

As I was doing one of my searches for lovely cupcake items I found these great vintage like baking cups. The website that I found them on  is www.bakeitpretty.com . This is a great website it has a lot of different cupcake and baking items. So here are the Baking Cups I fell in love with …

Black Elizabeth – Designer Baking Cups

Elenor Green – Designer Baking Cups

Madeleine – Designer Baking Cups

Pink Elizabeth – Designer Baking Cups

Check out the website is has a great selection of Cupcake Toppers ( I like the Wizard of Oz ones myself ). They also have a great and different selection of Sprinkles.

They also have this interestingly named product Edible Disco Dust … I just might buy this!

Enjoy!

The credit for finding this costume goes to my best friend, who passed it along to me.   She too shares an obsession with cupcakes and is thinking about buying this Hostess Cupcake Costume to be as cute as a cupcake for Halloween.  It is from The Lingerie Closet and is $43.50 without shipping.

Hello there all you cupcake lovers! This is just a reminder that today is the last day to enter our Cupcake Magnet Giveaway sponsored byEtsy crafter threerabbits. One winner will be chosen tomorrow morning so enter now!

One of the things I like about the internet is that one site leads you to another and then another and before you know it you have come across so many sites that you have tons of bookmarks.  In my case you also end up with more recipes from blogs then you will ever have time to make.  That is how I came across Culinary Concoctions by Peabody. Which always has delicious looking recipes, many of which are cupcakes.  One of the most recent posts was for Cinnamon Sour Cream Cupcakes with Oatmeal Raisin Buttercream Frosting. To me they sound like a delicious hybrid between sour cream coffee cake with oatmeal raisin cookies combined in the form of cupcakes.  Peabody made them in the form of cute little minis.  An additional benefit of getting recipes off blog is that the trial and error part has been done and recorded for you so you know what mistakes to avoid.

I know we have had a few posts recently celebrating the 90th anniversary of Hostess cupcakes but I wanted to share a few amazing Etsy finds that honor this special treat.

Hostess Cupcake Dress $60

Cupcake Soap $4

Giant Cupcake Floorcloth $40

Visit stayhomecupcake’sshop in Etsy.

If you do not have the time to make your own cupcake costume,  you can always count on Etsy for something homemade.  Devaniweaver has created a Pink Cupcake Dress with sprinkles and a cherry.  I love that it the bottom half really looks like a aluminum cupcake liner.  The dress is $175.00, remember someone put a lot of hard work and time into this cupcake creation.
