Cupcake Pads by Lunapads

They have a cupcake fabric pattern available on their pads and liners. Okay menstrual pads and cupcakes don’t normally go, but Lunapads (cloth pads in general) are environmentally friendly, healthy, women-owned, funky and generally very body-positive with lots of girly fans, so not only featuring cupcakes but also you’d be featuring a very positive menstrual option – if you haven’t already that is. Happy periods, brought to you by cupcakes.

Thank you Jadea for bringing these to our attention!

Summer Cheesecake Topping or Filling

Posted by on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

n184500174_30151053_6150Summer is just too hot to bake cheesecake.

If you are looking for a quick and easy cheesecakin filling or topping for your cupcakes, try this.

Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, with 1 tablespoon flavouring extract

( Neilson Massey chocolate extract, cotton candy,  madagascar vanilla are our favourites) If using chocolate  flavouring then also beat into cream cheese 1/2 cup brute cocoa powder. You of course can colour the cotton candy pink <3  Then beat in a little at a time 1 — 1 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar (to taste)

When quite fluffy FOLD in 2 cups cool whip dessert topping ( no substitutes please) You will see the transformation into a quick setting cheesecake that you can use to pipe on top or fill your cooled cupcakes. We use a large open star tip for topping and a filler tip for filling. (we fill and top) Use a piece of Salt Water Taffy in delicious summer colours to adorn your masterpiece. Only use taffy as needed or it will DISSOLVE! These are our triple chocolate salt water taffy sweet cuppins. You will be glad you did.

Cupcake Tip #1: Keeping Cupcakes Fresh

Posted by on Monday, May 11th, 2009

Beautiful Cupcakes

Many of our readers are already pros at whipping up batches of cupcakes for any occasion; however, I would bet that some of you out there may still be learning all the tips and tricks.  If you find this post helpful, please comment, and I will continue to share tips.

Cupcake Tip #1: Keeping Cupcakes Fresh

If you want to keep your cupcakes fresh and soft DO NOT put them in the refrigerator, it will dry them out. You may put the unfrosted cupcakes in a container and wrap container in saran wrap to freeze them.

Then if you need to whip up a quick snack,  take out the frozen cupcakes, and immediately start frosting and decorating.  When done, place on a plate in room temperature for an hour or two to thaw.  Tastes just like fresh cupcakes.

What a Find!

Posted by on Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

This week, I truly envy our NY readers.  There are so many cupcake events to attend;  the latest being this Brooklyn Kitchen Blog cupcake contest.

Brooklyn NY Cupcake Cook-off? Wha?

Exactly. We are hosting the Third Annual Cupcake Cook-off at Union Pool, 484 Union Avenue, Monday May 11 from 7-9 PM. The cupcakes will be judged by our panel of cupcake judges, and winners will be announced.

No. All cupcakes must arrive baked, frosted, staged and assembled.

Truly a question for the ages. We recommend that you bring as many cupcakes as you can possibly carry. We will require 6 cupcakes for judging, and the rest you will distribute to the ravenous crowd to win favor in the Popular Vote.

Absolutely Gorgeous

I have been so busy getting our webstore finalized and what we plan to carry that it has been a while since I posted here. I am happy to announce that we are now supplying to several bakeries all over the world and learning so much of the cupcake industry everywhere! Soooo today I bring all ATC readers some sweet news! We are now carrying an absolutley gorgeous line of gift cupcake liners, their beauty and high quality cannot be seen in a photo but I assure you these are so pretty you may not want to bake in them.

mary

Each package is elegantly packaged with a keen sense of the environment, you can read about that on our site! There is a lovely size selection that you can easily adapt to your pans! Hint : Never oil your pans prior to baking with a cupcake liner! Make sure you are not sweating your cakes, they need dry hot quick baking! Also if you are using a convection oven, again do not sweat them, bake them by turning off the fan for the last half of baking! All these hints will keep the integrity of your gorgeous liners. Each box has a European recipe for cupcakes (muffins) printed on the bottom.

Now to introduce our line up

jane1 livv1You can find these in Sweet Cuppin Cakes Bakery and Cupcakery Supply

And for a sweet cuppin deal for all All Things Cupcake readers we will toss in a free sample of our other new product line up. Pinks, purples, rainbows, polkas and a whole lot more. In the message area of your order simply  type  “I LUV ALL THINGS CUPCAKE ”

Cheers to all and enjoy the day!
