One of my co-workers made mini red velvet cupcakes yesterday for her class, so I decided to take advantage of this cupcake opportunity and take some photos for you all. She used Paula Deen’s recipe but swapped in another recipe for the cream cheese frosting. The cakes were delicious little bites; thanks Marina for sharing them with the staff!

Dear Husbands/Boyfriends: This is How to Win at <3 Day

Posted by on Friday, February 13th, 2009

As previously blogged here, Tiffany & Co. has the sweetest little cupcake charm in the world. I just had to announce to an audience of people who I know will appreciate it that my awesome husband walked his big, bearded, tattooed self into Tiffany’s today and brought this little sweetie home to me.

As if it wasn’t cute enough, he had our three-year-old give it to me. I was loading the dishwasher when I hear, “Look mama, blue present!” Happy Valentines Day, ATC readers! And hey men-folk- the mall is still open, you too can win at V-Day!

Obama and Lincoln Commemorated in Cupcakes

Posted by on Friday, February 13th, 2009

(via Trend News)

Flour, frosting and fondant are the ingredients artist and baker Zilly Rosen will use to create portraits of US presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, dpa reported.

Washington’s National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum are co-hosting their fourth annual Presidential Family Fun Day on Saturday.

The centrepiece of the event will be Rosen’s portraits, using 5,000 cupcakes arranged to look from above like Lincoln (1861-65), remembered as the Great Emancipator, and Obama, who took office last month as the first African-American president.

“This presidential portrait is not only distinguished but delicious,” the National Portrait Gallery touted.

Unlike the paintings in the galleries of the two museums, the cupcake portraits will have a very short shelf life. After staying on display for the afternoon, the artwork will be deconstructed by the children in attendance.

The free, family-oriented event, an observance ahead of Monday’s Presidents’ Day, will also include fife-and-drum music, singing, storytelling and historical impersonators including Lincoln and other presidents.

Thursday was the 200th birthday of Lincoln, who ordered the emancipation of slaves in 1863 and was assassinated in April 1865, just days after achieving victory in the American Civil War.

The cupcake artwork will be titled A New Birth of Freedom, borrowing a phrase from one of Lincoln’s most famous speeches.

This installation was also streamed live via webcast!

The most adorable Cupcake Wrapper I have seen …

Posted by on Friday, February 13th, 2009

Being here in below 40 degree F temperatures for a solid 2 months with only about 6 days a month bringing glorious sunshine, I got pretty stoked when these came  into my Cupcakery. Tomorrow being Valentines Day I should be posting a Valentine, and I will. ;o)

These wrappers are gorgeous for DIY cupcakers. We even carry the chocolate coated, candy sunflower seeds to make the centre of your flower!

I would have liked to see a brown liner on this cupcake but alas … I digress. sunflower-wrap

Dark chocolate vegan cupcakes

Posted by on Friday, February 13th, 2009

ATC Reader Heather sent us this email and photo of her Dark chocolate vegan cupcakes…

I made these vegan cupcakes on Friday because I was having a dinner party and one of the guests is lactose-intolerant. I got the recipe on RecipeZaar and they were delicious. No one could tell that they weren’t just regular cupcakes, and they came out very professional-looking as well, especially with the raspberries. I had never made anything vegan before so I was a little nervous, but they were so good and cute, I just loved them!

Thanks for sharing your cupcakes with us Heather. They look very delicious!

Pink Frosting and Chocolate Cake Crochet Cupcake Rug $40.00

Yummy! A cupcake rug to sweeten up any room in your house!

The seller crocheted this cupcake-shaped rug with yarn she hand-cut from salvaged fabric. The chocolate bottom was crocheted from a brown corduroy fabric remnant. The frosting was crocheted from a pink polyester double-knit fabric remnant. The cherry and sprinkles were crocheted from a red velour bathrobe. All these fabrics were collected from thrift stores, washed, and cut into strips that she used as yarn to crochet this rug. Using fabric yarn creates a rug that is durable and thick yet soft.

This rug measures 19.5 inches (49.5 cm) x 17 inches (43.2 cm) at its widest points. It is machine washable and dryable. Perfect for the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, play room, dorm room, nursery, office, any room at all!
