Cupcake Stuff at Kohl’s

We received these photos and email from ATC Reader Tristine…

Love your site.  I am obsessed with finding cupcakes now and this is my first entry to you all!  I found these at Kohl’s department store. Photo 0341 is two dishtowels and 0373 are placemats.  They also has a table runner but I had to stop somewhere!  Thanks.

RockerJewlz and the Green Glass Café have combined artistic forces to create the most incredible line of lampwork glass cupcakes to date!  Julie Vallejo and Payton Jett have shared their passion for glass art the past 2 years and it has evolved into an artistic chemistry that has resulted in a magical bond.

Due to their love of all things cupcake, Julie, a jewelry designer, began to request custom cupcakes of Payton, wondering if her imagination could become reality.  Payton, a glass artisan, accepted any and all challenges presented to her, teaching Julie about the intriguing properties of glass along the way.  Payton knew how glass tended to move and morph beneath her torch’s intense flame but even with that knowledge,  she was still always in awe as to what the glass would reveal to her when lifted from its cooled oven.

This mysterious quality convinced Payton she must never assume what results would form and thus reveled in the thrill of playing with glass requests from artists like Julie, who would take her inspiration and draw it on paper and tweak the design with Payton until they agreed on the finest detail of color, shape, size, harmony and contrast.

With these limitless edges of imagination, these two artists have in a sense created a marriage of passion and dedication to discovering the next best thing in glass and therefore, custom jewelry design.  It is a rare gift for these two artisans to have found such partnership and a gift to share.

RockerJewlz and the Green Glass Café are thrilled and excited to announce the revolutionary Deluxe Fantasy Dream Cupcake Jewelry!  These cupcakes are bigger than ever measuring up to 26mm versus the more commonly known average sizes   Truly one of a kind (OOAK), these glass cupcakes are loaded with patterns and color combinations never seen before in the glass art world!  Plaids of raspberry, dark pink and red…black and white hearts set against mahogany colored cake draped with dark pink layers of frosting with rings of color surrounding the sprinkles.

If you have any experience with glass cupcakes, you know these are not your every day cupcake bead descriptions…we just know your mouth must be watering by now. So come and satisfy your curiosity by joining us online to obtain finished Fantasy Dream Cupcake jewelry from Julie at RockerJewlz and experience the thrill of designing your very own custom cupcake beads with Payton at the Green Glass Café.

“I am from Barcelona, Spain. I read your blog
daily and thought maybe you could help me out with something:

I’m visiting London for three days in about two weeks and I’d like to know if there are stores where I could go buy Sugarpaste Decorating things, Sprinkles for my cupcakes, Cookie Cutters, and this sort of stuff. If you could give me some names or adresses that would be awsome!!

Thanx for your attention! And keep this blog as cute as it is!!! I
love it!!

“Check out your local Target’s dollar spot…they have cupcake items such as kitchen towels, pot holders, spatulas with cupcakes on them – I would have taken a picture but I didn’t have my camera.  They have their Valentine stuff out but no cupcake theme this year – sigh!!!”

Thanks for the heads up Kerry. I picked up a few of their cupcake things myself.

“Hi! I stumbled upon your site while sitting here on a snow day and reading through anything cupcake I could find online. I have the obsession and have been baking like a mad women for over the past year. So, it was neat to see that you had a whole section on cupcake tattoos! I’m not alone!
Here’s mine, on my hip done by the ever so lovely Stacey Martin. She has relocted to Austin TX but is the most amazing artist and friend (who loves cupcakes just as much as me!).

The Petite Cafe – Home of the Stuffed Cupcakes

Keith and Maureen moved from the catering and restaurant business to a small café because they wanted to be in a single location. Like Keith’s culinary background the name The Petite Cafe is American with a French twist. Opening shortly before 9/11, the Petite Cafe became a place for the community to gather, reflect, and take comfort. This was important to Keith and Maureen because both had worked in or near the World Trade Center.

In 2008, The Petite Cafe moved down the street due renovations occurring on Franklin Avenue in Nutley, NJ. The new intimate ten table space offers opportunities to enjoy a cozy coffee or a pleasant pastry. The continental breakfast is a perfect way to start your business day.  For a special treat, Fondue is both a delicious dessert and a fun activity.

The Petite Cafe plans to begin a tea service on Sunday afternoons. Tea is the perfect way to break up a lazy Sunday afternoon and catch up with friends. A selection of fine teas, scones, mini cupcakes, and mini quiches will be available. Don’t forget to bring home Stuffed Cupcakes™ for family and friends.

Please visit The Petite Cafe for more information.
