This week’s giveaway comes from Etsy seller tweetheartwallart. Tweet Heart Wall Art is a design studio that specializes in vinyl wall art. They only use top quality vinyl that is made for home interiors. The vinyl has a matte finish, giving you a painted on look. Vinyl wall arts are an easy and affordable way to decorate and personalize your home. Tweet Heart also specializes in custom design, including custom sizing, colors and personalization.
TweetHeart sent me these 4 cupcake decals in pink and brown. I displayed them on a wall in my craft room (which is quickly becoming my cupcake room!) and I love it. They were very easy to adhear and it really added something special to the room. They truly do look painted onto the wall. I think they would be a perfect addition to any baker’s kitchen.

Being the cupcake baker that I am I LOVE the Witon Website and I also follow them on Facebook and todays post was great. It is these Circle of Sorcery Cake and Cupcakes.

Wilton does a great job of telling you exactly what you need and exactly how to do it.
This would be a lovely addition to any Halloween Celebration!

My sister passed this along to me knowing I would love it! Cupcakes baked inside of coffee cups is an adorable idea! It is a fun idea for a party because the mugs could serve as favors. And the creative options are endless, the cake could be a hot chocolate, coffee, or even earl grey tea flavor. It could be decorated simply or to look like an actual drink. Sweet Paul made these for his niece’s birthday and I am sure that any little girl in a party dress would love them.

It has turned quite chilly here in Maryland this week and I was thinking about how cupcakes can also keep you warm. Personally, I want all of these Etsy accessories for my little cupcake and myself too! I wonder how it might look if we walked down the street with all of these items? I think my friends might really refer me for counseling! Is there Cupcake Addicts Annonymous (CAA)?
Each of these crafts are from a different seller. Just click on the photo to go to their shop.

Cupcake Scarf $42

Cupcake Hat $19

Cupcake Mittens $20

Cupcake Poncho $32

Cupcake Cozy $10
Keep your coffee (or hot cocoa) warm too!

Stonewall Kitchen’s mini Halloween candles make perfect cupcake toppers. They are simple, fun, and most importantly festive. You can choose between candy corns which cost $11.95 or bats for $12.95. Each set contains 16 candles that are 1 inch in size. I think they would look great on top of Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.

I came across this while looking for cupcake costumes and while it’s not exactly a cupcake it still claims to be a cupcake costume. This is a cupcake chef costume, so instead of being what’s eaten, this time around you could be the baker of the sweet culinary concoction.

When I came across these I immediately wondered, “why didn’t I think of that?” For years my family has been making tie-dye style angel food cakes and this summer I made red, white, and blue vanilla bean cupcakes for my sister’s return to the US from a summer in Ireland. But I Heart Cuppy Cakes put me to shame by coming up Candy Corn Cupcakes last October. The recipe if extra easy if you decide to make your cupcakes semi-homemade by using a box cake mix.

Since my co-worker’s wedding that I am making the cupcakes for is only two weeks away I have contracted wedding fever because weddings seem to be on my mind. I came across this while looking for alternative designs, even though we have already decided on what we will be doing. I had to share this wedding cupcake option.
Baked is a cookbook by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. It is also two bakery locations, one in Brooklyn, New York and the other in Charleston, South Carolina. The website include a shop section which allows you to purchase several items including baked goods and apparel. There is also a new feature which they are offering, Baked Weddings. They work with you and your budget to meet your needs and desires for your wedding cake, cupcakes, baked goods assortment. Their designs are unique and modern so if you are looking for something different and a little less traditional white wedding cake I would suggest checking them out.

I have mentioned previously that TJMaxx and Marshall’s are great places to find cupcake items for a bargain. I visited them both this week and they proved me right again. This time I found two pieces of cupcake art for only 12.99 each, that are going to make great additions to my home.

I was also able to find out that the cupcake dish sets I wrote about a few weeks ago are on clearance. Each item was discounted at least $1 off and some items were discounted up to $3 off! If you happen to come across the matching teapot please let me know, it is the only part of the set I have been unable to locate!

Cupcake Sleep Mask $4
