This tattoo is in dedication of our love for cupcakes, respect for one another and our commitment to being sisters always and forever. I am a baker who specializes in cupcakes and my sister eats them. We wanted a ‘sister tattoo’ for the longest, we didn’t want to get a pick and stick tattoo or something not original, we wanted something that represents the both of us. We share a lot of the same interest from Cupcakes to Punk Rock and of course our love for one another. Every time I am in the kitchen baking and destroying she is waiting patiently on the table.
Cupcakes&Love
-Janice.These tattoos were done by Monet of Bound By Tradition in Fresno, California.
Thank you for sharing your tattoo and your sister’s tattoo with us! They are gorgeous!

What are we going to do??? PARTY, of course! We’re declaring it “FREE CUPCAKE DAY,” and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. all people who come in will be able to get ONE free cupcake of their choice!! There may even be balloons….We’re all about a big budget, remember?
So, save the date! It’ll be a buttercream BASH!
I better start plannin‘…Laytah.
Looks quiet and unassuming now don’t you think? Being the day before this buttercream bash I would be armed with a camp overnight bag and a fork. An opportunity to celebrate with these wonderful cupcakery owners, a free cupcake and the promise of a buttercream bash is far too tempting for me. Retro Bakery is located in the Centennial Hills area of Las Vegas at: 7785 N. Durango Dr. #130, LV, NV 89131.
It is their anniversary so why not bring to them some of your own buttercream sensations to help celebrate their year and partay! Here are some offerings I know the Retro to offer up
Mint Chocolate Chip
Peanut Butter Cup
Sprinkled Donut
Apple Cider
Chocolate Fountain
Cinnamon Toast
Chocolate Covered Banana
Hawaii Sky
Hawaii Night Sky
Vanilla Loves Vanilla

If you attend this extravaganza of cupcakery and get some photos, please send! Happy Anniversay Retro and Cheers to another Bakecessful year, you deserve it!!
Yes, a very favorite authour of mine has launched a wonderful cupcake party kit for kids! Do not go looking too soon though, as I know they won’t even hit my shop until March. What I can tell you is that all of her books are sold on Amazon, where you can get a feel for her awesome sense of whimsy and all things magical with kids and cupcakes. I love her to bits. Barbara’s product has been a delight to work with and taste … WOW!
While the kids get busy doing all their baking work it is, ” Wow, mmm, where is another spoon?” Not to mention a lot of giggles and grins.
Barbara has recently been on the Martha Stewart Radio show! (Great show to you both) Barbara Beery is also the founder of Batter up Kid’s
Here is a photo of one the the books I have taken off her site so you can check out what is up and coming in the Kids and Cupcakes genre
Birthday Cupcake Bracelet
You can get this gorgeous bracelet with a number or without a number. Other color cupcakes are available. This can be made in any size!
Don’t see the exact cupcake bracelet you are looking for? No problem. Custom orders are welcome. Bracelets not your thing? Again not a problem! You may prefer some of her Phone Charms, Necklaces, Bookmarks, or Purse/Diaper Bag Charms.
Available only at Sweetie Kai (Etsy), Sweetie Kai Designs (MySpace), and SweetieKai.com.
In our February issue, you’ll find inspired ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts and treats, plus dozens of new ideas for a perennial favorite — cupcakes! Plus, learn how to navigate the wine store, get the basics of making crepes, and make hearty recipes for meat and potatoes, and more.
(Pictured from top to bottom…The older one on the right foot all touched up now, the new one on my left foot, and the two of them together although you cant see the full tattoos)
My friend Lexy just got a cupcake tattoo, and said it was ok for me to share it with all of you. Here is what she wrote…
I got another tattoo done today from a relative of Brians here in Seattle. (He does it out of his basement for friends & family, so no parlor. But his first name is Mike & he lives in Seattle.)
He had done the star one on my right foot almost a year ago, but today he touched it up and added 3 more stars on the end of it. He also colored in the 2 biggest stars and a few of the little ones as well. The new one I got is on my left foot, and I freaking love it!
Both of my feet are now killing me, but the pain is so worth how great my feet are going to look in flip-flops this summer.
I hate feet alot… But now I love mine!
Thank you for letting me share your awesome tattoos Lexy. I am so jealous that your cupcake is bigger than mine!
Here’s a list of Martha’s favorite cupcakes and bakeries around the country that we’re sure you’ll love.
Swirlz Cupcakes
Swirlz Cupcakes is located in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago (705 West Belden, Chicago, IL 60614; swirlzcupcakes.com). Its stylish store and artfully-decorated treats are two reasons we love Swirlz.
Martha’s Pick from Swirlz:
Martha picked the chocolate passion cupcake. The rich chocolate cake, bittersweet ganache, homemade passion-fruit curd, and passion-fruit buttercream are topped with delicious candied sunflower seeds. Swirlz also offers a gluten-free variation of this chocolate passion cupcake. Special thanks to Jeremy Sher for use of these photographs.

I wish they made this for adults. I featured this back in January of 2008 but I just have to share this again. I LOVE THIS.
The Cupcake Pet Bed by Fluff. $85.00 but so worth it.
When it’s nap time your doggy will be in the lap of luxury in this ultra comfy bed.
Fluff is a line of super cute, and ultra sassy stuff created by artist, Claudette Barjoud. Her designs are inspired by an eclectic mix of vintage pinup, Art Nouveau, Mid Century Modernism and international ad graphics. The idea behind Fluff was to create fun frivolities that were sassy, cute and chic all rolled into one. Fluff is like a candy store with many flavors to suit every taste of sweet.
One size: 22″ Width / 12″ Height
