Mary of Shazam in the Kitchen created something I have been waiting for, a Red Wine Cupcake. Seriously, does it get better than wine and cupcakes together? They are uber cute too!

Mary had this to say about her brilliant cupcake:

I based this cupcake on my favorite flavor of ice cream. Well sorbet really. Ciao Bella’s Blackberry Cabernet sorbet. Super yummy. I found a recipe, that I seriously tweaked for a German Rotweinkuchen (red wine cake). I also had on hand a 4 pack, ok 2 left from a 4 pack of Funky Llama cabernet little bottles. I happened to run across some beautiful (and cheap) blackberries at Trader Joes when my friend S was in town. It was like these beautiful little cupcakes were meant to be. The cupcakes really turned out delicious. Plus by the second day, the red wine flavor came through better.

For the recipe, please check out Shazam in the Kitchen.

They aren’t always sweet. No sir, cupcakes pack an attitude as well. Don’t let their innocent, compartmentalized outward persona persuade you to think these little ‘fairy cakes’ are harmless fun. They also have something to say! Say it well they do. With a spoon-full of sugar helping the medicine go down, today we’ll see four instances of quirky cupcakes with attitude.
Our first two contenders both come from Cupcake Royale and feature the snarky quips Deathcake Royale and Legalize Frostitution. Then comes my personal favorite, created by Johnny Cupcakes, the brown Make Cupcakes Not War tee, offers a sound word of advice the whole world could use! Finally, Natalie Dee helps us see– Cupcakes ARE a breakfast food, in fact, when they are paired with a multivitamin you have a “Super Breakfast!”
With these four unique finds you are sure to not only make the statement that you wholeheartedly appreciate cupcakes but you do with with style and a no-nonsense attitude! Ain’t nobody gonna squash this cupcake.

Head on over to Martha’s Circle at marthastewart.com and tell me what you see on the far left side.

How freaking cool, right? We love Martha.

One of our fabulous readings, Sarah, e-mailed me about my post yesterday and I just had to share her shop with you! Sarah runs a cute little shop on Etsy called Just Add Charm where she puts fabric on buttons and adds them to hair pins, necklace’s, tacs (as you see to your left) and more.

“Just Add Charm… is a family-owned and operated business located in Southern California. We are proud of the fine products we offer. Our jewelry is designed to give years of pleasure and beauty, complementing your personal style. We hope that you will enjoy wearing our jewelry as much as we enjoy creating it.”

You can get these 6 little push pins right here for just $9.00!

“Liven up your cork board or cubicle with these whimsical pushpins. What a fun and thoughtful gift for teachers and co-workers! 3/4 fabric covered buttons are permanently attached to thumbtacks. Note that fabric placement may vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the item.

Cupcake toppings may vary from batch to batch – see additional photos for some variations. I do promise that yours will be just as delicious. If you have a special request, please let me know.”

Don’t forget to check out the rest of her cupcake items.

This ring is gorgeous. I almost fell out of my seat when I saw it. If I only had $75 to spend on this beauty!

“Sterling Silver Through and Through

This cupcake ring will make you want to eat it! This was the ring that gave me the idea for my company name and for my logo! It is truly metal sugar and is super cute with any outfit!

Also, it would leave a pretty cool mark in someone’s skin if they happened to run into your hand!

Size: 3/4 inch X 3/4 inch

Just a little background detail on this ring: It has two layers…the bottom blackened area and each of the parts of the cupcake including the circle around it are hand pierced with a tiny saw and soldered onto the bottom sheet. I just want you to know that this is 3-D and each part is made of sterling silver and carefully hand-crafted using very fine detail. The band of this ring is 10 guage sterling and goes perfectly with the toughness of this cupcake.”

Available here in metalsugar’s shop for $75.00. This cupcake obsession is expensive!

This is about the most worthwhile thing I’ve done this week – make 28 mini chocolate cupcakes for my colleagues at work! They went down very well (especially as there were so many that pretty much everyone could have 2!)
