I love TUTUs and CUPCAKES 3 piece set NB to 6T hot pink and white $38.50

Great for a Gift for a little girl or a Party, or even just for play. Alot of time, imagination and work went into this pretty set. Set includes matching tutu, hair clip and wand. Wand is not showing in this pic, because they take alot of work, and she makes them as orders are placed, so a included a pic of one she already sold so you can get an idea. The wand matches the hair clip exactly except it is 2 times bigger. The clip and wand are made of felt and grosgrain ribbon. The hand work was sewn with cotton thread. The tutu is made of 75 yards of tulle! The tutu is very, very full and beautiful. The tutu is made with an elastic waistband. This set is her specialty and alot of detail was put into it.

She can make the clip with an alligator or snap clip. Please give her your childs waist measurement for the tutu.

ENJOY!!!!

She will be adding different colors of this set daily!!

You can also choose a different color if you would like

Hot pink White
Soft pink brown

Chocolate Mousse Cakes, Cupcakes??

Posted by on Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Our sidebars are FULL of information, links to other cupcake related sites, our favorite things, and of course, our yummy food buzz sponsor. We don’t have those google banners on there for no reason, they send us to some delicious cupcake related sites!!! Like this one: Dean & DeLuca Chocolate Mousse Cakes .

Now.. these look like cupcakes to me. Could these be considered cupcakes? Whatever they are, they look amazing.

Six individual bittersweet chocolate mousse cakes are flavored with Grand Marnier, wrapped in chocolate bark and topped with a gold-dusted chocolate leaf. Serve with fresh raspberries, caramelized pear slices, or thyme-flavored whipped cream (thyme and chocolate are a surprisingly satisfying combo). Kosher.

Ceramic Cupcake Cups from Circa Ceramics!

Posted by on Monday, June 30th, 2008

Woah, it’s been a while, huh? Well, I’m back and I’m bearing pretty awesome news. Circa Ceramics, a Chicago-based ceramics team, fired me these amazing Bake and Destroy baking bowls and asked me to master the art of baking in ceramic vessels. I’m happy to report all went well and I’ll be posting a how-to video which will also include a recipe I developed just for Nancy and Andy- Ceramics Ceramics Cannoli Cupcakes. That’s right, the Quad-C.

No word yet on whether or not Bake and Destroy bowls will be made available to the public, but keep an eye on the CC Etsy shop for other baking vessels and dinnerware. You really can’t appreciate how beautiful their work is until you’ve picked it up and held it, but I’m sure  this post will get some comments from faithful customers of theirs.

With all the green-this and eco-friendly- that what could be greener than reusable cupcake baker-inners? And what could make for a fancier presentation? Like I said, I’ll give you the recipe and all the ins and out of baking in ceramics in my video this week end. If you’re just dying to hear me talk you can watch my stupid “nutritious cupcakes” video I made for one of my classes.

Lime Cupcake with a Mango Buttercream!

Posted by on Sunday, June 29th, 2008

This recipe was sent to us from Marta of Sugar Crush Cupcakes in Miami Florida. This recipe made my mouth drool from the start and I loved the story behind it. Thanks Marta!

Marta Ebra has a baking business that she runs from my home.  She lives in Miami, Florida. Here is what she said:

“My inspiration for this entry comes from some of the tropical flavors and colors that can be found all over the city.  I hope you can taste and see a little slice of our “Magic City” with these cupcakes.  I chose to make a lime cupcake with a mango buttercream.  The mango I used actually came from my grandfather’s tree, so needless to say it’s something very familiar to me as well as very abundant and popular in Miami.  I have included a picture of me and my family (hubby and kids) with my grandfather on his 95th birthday from this past April.  He is so very special to us and is truly a brilliant example of our Cuban heritage.  I hope you enjoy my entry (wish I could send you some to taste)!”

Recipe:
 
For the cake:
A basic vanilla cupcake recipe or boxed vanilla cake
1 large lime
 
For the Frosting:
2 sticks softened butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6+ cups powdered sugar
1 ripe mango
1 lime
 
 
 
Prepare the cupcakes as directed for your basic vanilla cupcake recipe.  Add the zest and juice of a whole lime (if avaliable Key Limes can be used here) to the prepared batter and fold in until it is incorporated.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.  Remove from oven and allow to cool. 
 
While the cupcakes are cooling peel and dice one whole mango (about 1 cup).  Place the mango in a saucepan and add the juice of 1 lime.  On medium heat cook this down until the mango has become soft (stiring with a whisk helps this allong), about 7-10 minutes.  When the mango peices have all broken down in the pot, transfer to a food processer and blend until smooth.  Set aside and allow to cool.
 
In a large bowl beat the softened butter until smooth.  Add two cups of the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.  Then add two more cups and beat until smooth.  Then add the milk and vanilla and two more cups of powdered sugar.  Once that is blended and smooth, add the cooled mango puree and blend.  Add more powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency.  Place frosting in a piping bag with a tip and frost the cooled cupcakes.  Decorate with a slice of lime.
