Are these beautiful, or what? Positively dreamy.
These Rainbow Cloud Cupcakes are available at Flour and Sun Bakery of Pleasantville, New York.
I’ll admit–I’m not sure how they did that frosting.
I haven’t really kept up with college basketball, but I believe the Indiana Hoosiers are in first place? Either way, they are something to celebrate, and Indianapolis’s own cupcakery, The Flying Cupcake, is doing it in style with these clever Hoosier cupcakes. Very cute and likely quite delicious. It’s enough to make me watch college basketball!
A 30 calorie cupcake? Is it possible? These frozen yogurt cupcakes are easy to make (only 4 ingredients), beautiful, and good for you! It’s the perfect spring cupcake! You can find the recipe and instructions at Fit Sugar.
We recently brought you cupcake toothpaste, but we don’t want your dental care to be incomplete. So here’s your cupcake dental floss. Yum or ew? I found this sweet string at the local comic book store–what, that’s not where you buy your toiletries?–but you can also get some via Amazon. Don’t forget to floss!
It’s been a while since a cupcake flavor has surprised and delighted me the way this does: White Russian and Banana Bourbon. Oh. My. How many can I eat and still drive home? I found these delectable creations at Silver Spoon Bakery of East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
I recently paid my first visit to East End Cupcakes, which is, I believe, the only cupcakery in Portland, Maine. (If there’s another one, let me know, because I couldn’t find it!)
East End Cupcakes is ideally located right in the Old Port. Somehow, eating a cupcake while walking down cobblestone streets just feels right. On the day I visited, they had an offering of classic hits, including chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet. I chose the “chocolate salted caramel,” a chocolate cupcake topped with lightly flavored caramel frosting and sprinkled with sea salt.
We cupcake reviewers have noticed a trend toward creamier frostings, and away from sweeter frostings. East End Cupcakes seems to be on that bandwagon. Their frosting was airy and smooth. (Granted, had I tried the red velvet, I may have found a more substantial frosting there).
The store itself is adorable and seemed like a cool place to hang out. There was more seating than I’ve seen in a lot of similar sized bakeries.
Perfect for a unique birthday celebration for a 5 year old or a 50 year old! At your cupcake decorating party an East End representative will come to the event location with baked cupcakes and frosting in a variety of colors and flavors. Your party guests will get to create their own cupcakes using piping bags and edible decorations. We will provide aprons, guidance and clean up. At the end of the event, your guests will be able to take home their creations in one of East End’s signature pink boxes!
Just spotted these girls’ undies at Old Navy.
When I saw that Monday was a cupcake, of course I had to pick them up! (Plus, they were 40% off!)
Still not sure what the point of labeling your undies with days of the week is exactly, but hey–the Mondays are cute!
I love cupcakes. I love popcorn. But cupcake-flavored popcorn?
This interesting concoction is made by Popcornopolis. Has anyone tried it?
I’m tempted to order some, but do I really need yet another guilty pleasure?
I’m no marketing expert, but this simple strategy strikes me as brilliant. If I were walking down the street, this sign would certainly persuade me to stop for a few minutes!
In the northeast US right now, the weather’s not so hot. In many places, it’s a downright slushy mess. That’s why Wicked Good Cupcakes of Cohasset, Massachusetts has put some cute little galoshes on their Monday cupcakes. They sure brighten a rainy day, don’t you think?
I love how CupCake FabuLous decorated these Valentine’s Day cupcakes. Does anyone know what decorating tip they used? CupCake FabuLous is a family-owned cupcakery that has been serving the Dallas area since 2007. They also make twinkies! They’re enough to make a person move to Texas!
We’ve taken you to Fine Art America to see the cupcake work of Ryan Jones before, but the nerd in me just had to bring you this graphite drawing of his. It’s called, “I Find Your Lack of Hunger Disturbing.” Ha! Keep up the impressive work Ryan!
Life is sweet! So is this tattoo, which was done by Til Death Tattoo of Portland, Maine. Don’t have a cupcake tattoo yet? What are you waiting for?
Okay, I know we are going a little old school here, but Firefly fans will immediately recognize this clever recreation of the great Jayne Cobb’s famous hat. This “Cobb hat cupcake” was created by Savoureux Cupcakery. And of course, the great Jayne Cobb is aptly portrayed by the great Adam Baldwin.
I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this, but I love it. These white chocolate shavings make a positively elegant cupcake garnish! This photo is courtesy of foodie photographer Esther Fox. And just in case you’ve never played with chocolate shavings before, it is super easy! Just use your vegetable peeler. Then, the next time you go to peel carrots, you’ll have an irresistible cupcake craving!
Good heavens, would you look at these things? Talk about sumptuous! These chocolate covered cherry cupcakes were created by Cupcake Anarchy, the Milwaukee cupcakery that likes to break all the rules. (They also offer beer & bacon cupcakes and honey whiskey cupcakes.)
This cupcake makes me smile. I’ve seen rainbows on top of cupcakes before. But this is the first time I can remember seeing a rainbow in a cupcake. This pic was taken by Jonathan Syer, who loves to photograph cupcakes! (Who doesn’t?)
Why do I have children? So that I can endlessly dress them up in cupcake attire, of course! This is my daughter’s newest gift from The Children’s Place. Alas, they did not come in my size.
Impressed? So was I. Now this is cupcake art! And McGreevy Cakes of Akron, New York has provided a video tutorial to help you create these artistic wonders yourself! Check it out:
Check out the new cupcake pj’s I just scored for my daughter at K-mart. She wasn’t nearly as excited as I was, but it’s my excitement that counts, right?
I’ve been using Wilton Color Mist spray on food coloring for a while now. They make decorating easy and everyone thinks I’m a magician. But now they have pearl Color Mist, and this one is hard to beat! It gives the frosting a shimmering look, just perfect for the princess parties in your future! And as a bonus, it made my hand look a little like the tin man.
You slave all day to make the perfect chocolate cupcakes, and then when they come out of the oven, your white wrappers have turned to an unappetizing shade of brown. Or worse, you spend a bunch of money on Elmo cupcake wrappers for your kid’s birthday party, but when they come out of the oven, you can’t see Elmo. All you can see is the color of the cupcake. Because of these tragedies, I’ve been using foil cupcake wrappers for any cupcakes that will leave the house. And I’ve just discovered a pretty snazzy version of foil wrappers–Wilton Color Cups. There are many cool patterns to choose from, and they work! The wrappers come out of the oven just as pretty as they went in. I tested them out!
Happy New Year’s Eve with a nod to the top grossing film of 2012 (and the third highest grossing film of all time).
So, which superhero is your favorite? (And don’t pretend you don’t have a favorite!)
People have been stamping cupcakes on undies for a while now, but these cuties might just take the cake. I really wish I knew someone who was potty training so I could buy these for them! Unfortunately, the potty training boys of the world have footballs on their training pants, but the girls are in luck. Well done, Gerber, well done.
Yes, it’s Merry Christmas Eve, but let’s not forget some people are graduating this time of year! (As if those families weren’t already busy enough!) Here are some celebration graduation cupcakes from Sam’s Cake Factory. Congrats to all those holiday scholars out there!
