What do Cupcakes and Cell Phones have in common?

Posted by on Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Not much until Google arrived on the scene by making an operating system (think Windows Vista) for mobile phones.  They have named their operating system “Android” and the latest release of the software “Cupcake”.

Here is a snapshot of “Cupcake” in action.  Where is the frosting?

This is ATC’s version of the Google Android “Cupcake”.

Felt Plush Cupcake

Felt Plush Cupcake $25

This cute little chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting & sprinkles looks so delicious and would be a great treat for your bestest sweet…heart! WHAT IS IT?
Cupcakes are yummy, but this one won’t get hard, or stale, or moldy. Use it as a pin cushion, table centerpiece, or paper weight. WHAT’S IT MADE OF?
It is made of 100% wool by a process called needle-felting. Needle-felting is a process of matting and compressing the wool into felt by stabbing a barbed needle into the fibers over and over again. It also has some small beads sew into the top, just like sprinkles, and is glued to a real cupcake paper. HOW BIG IS IT? t is just about the size of a real cupcake. It’s about 3″ in diameter by 3 1/2″ tall.

Here is a sweet tip for our NYC readers.  Billy’s Bakery confections are sweet enough to eat, so when we heard that she is teaming up with Rebecca Taylor to create scrumptious cupcakes inspired by her spring/summer fashion line, we thought this makes perfect (and mouth-watering!) sense. Her yummy treats come in two flavors: Vanilla Twinkle and Meow Mocha.You may not be able to wear these cupcake creations, but they will certainly taste quite delightful. What is better than a fun, flirty party dress or a sweet treat? Indulging in a cupcake that looks like your favorite frock. Delectable genius. The cupcakes are available May 1st for $2.75/piece at Billy’s Bakery in NYC, just in time for Mother’s Day.

NY Cupcake Eating Contest

Posted by on Sunday, April 26th, 2009

In a flurry of chocolate cream and crumby debris, the yoga teacher crammed her last cupcake – No. 17 – winning the contest, and defeating her closest competitor by just one of the sweet treats.

Ivy Bakery held its first cupcake-eating contest outside of the shop on 87th St. in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The five competitors were given five minutes to inhale as many chocolate cupcakes as possible. The winner took home $75 and dubious bragging rights.
