I am teaching (ahem, trying to teach) my five-year-old to play the piano. Do y’all think any of these cupcakes might persuade her to be a bit more interested in tickling the ivories?
I’m not sure which I love more–dogs or cupcakes. That’s why I’m quite so taken by these adorable “Westie Cupcakes” (Westie being a nickname for West Highland White Terrier) from Angelina Cupcake of Towcester, Northamptonshire. Almost too cute to eat! I recently participated in an adoption expo for our local animal shelter, and I wish I’d thought to bring along a batch of these! They would’ve found forever homes for sure!
1 Fine Cookie is at it again with these party cupcakes. These cupcakes are the party! Apparently, these candies are soaked in alcohol before being strung together. I want to know what she used for string…
If you haven’t visited (and shopped from) Massachusetts’ 1 Fine Cookie, you should! The website is fun, funny, and tantalizing!
Check out these alcohol-inspired (and infused) cupcakes being offered by The Sugar Shack in Lansing, Michigan this week. Feel like a drink? Have a cupcake instead!
And the innocent looking “Tooty Fruity” is a yellow cake loaded with rum soaked fruit and topped butter cream, sprinkles and a cherry.With so many choices for baby shower themed cupcakes, it seems unnecessary to serve any other type of food at your next shower. Here is the latest contribution to our database, from Rebecca’s Tastebuds. These are so cute–love the little pillows!
I think I just figured out how to get my kids to eat their peas and carrots. Who needs a turkey dinner with all the fixin’s when she could just have this kind of turkey dinner? Complete with buttery mashed potatoes and cherry pie! So clever!
These cupcakes were created by Sir Ritz Creations of Cedarhurst, New York. This photo is a recent addition to Flickr, but I’m going to store it away for use on turkey day. November will be here soon enough.
Cookie Monster is no stranger to the cupcake scene, but these might be the cutest Cookie Monster cupcakes I’ve seen. I love the color of the frosting, and I’m always on the lookout for cupcakes my kids can help me decorate. And these look pretty kid-proof. Kudos!

Now that is a cupcake tattoo! This photo was taken by Jacquie Gibson at the Ink for Heroes tattoo convention, which was held in York in June. Ink for Heroes raised money and awareness for injured soldiers.
One way that they did this is through the Cupcake Club. The Cupcake Club consists of Rose Green, Colleen Moss, and other talented volunteers who attend shows all over the UK, tattooing cupcakes and raising money and awareness for soldiers.
Here is what their website has to say about cupcake tattoos: A cupcake is a permanent symbol and reminder that you have given and supported such a worthy cause. The Cupcake Club has tattooed hundreds of cupcakes on hundreds of supportive people.

I just tried this recipe from Simple Bites, and one word: AMAZING! I am absolutely blown away.
I did do a few things differently from the recipe. She recommends roasting the beets. I was far too lazy and just pureed some canned beets. I also used Neufchâtel cheese, instead of cream cheese, in an effort to cut out some fat. I also used more maple syrup than she recommended, as I just wanted some additional sweetness. I used plain old sugar instead of the more expensive raw, and I baked mine for only 20 minutes, instead of 25. In the end, though, I couldn’t lose and this recipe has made it’s way into my frequently used pile.
Love these floral cupcake toppers from Little Sugar Tops of San Antonio. Check out their Etsy shop, where you can buy cupcake toppers (and then tell people you slaved away all day!).
Now, these are cute! Bee cupcakes from Panapana of Brazil! That chocolate glaze looks heavenly. And for some reason, I’d be tempted to add a little honey in the center too!
Enjoying the Olympics? Awesome. Here is some visual entertainment for all your pinning needs!
Oh my gosh! Check out these “book cupcakes” from Victoria’s Kitchen of Chiswick, West London! Victoria studied cake design in New York, which she calls the “spiritual home of the cupcake.” Isn’t that an awesome and appropriate title?
These cupcakes were created in honor of a woman’s 60th birthday, and feature “books” that have helped shape her life! These cupcakes are a bookworm’s dream!
These are pretty darn clever and would be a great treat to serve at your next barbecue! The “burgers” are actually brownie slices! And you can use as many condiments (as much frosting) as you like! It’s the cheeseburger that meat lovers and vegetarians can agree on!
I’m not sure why I find these elephant cupcakes so adorable. Maybe because I recently visited the Indianapolis Zoo, and I couldn’t stop staring at the baby elephant? He was just too cute! And so are these cupcakes. Cute, yet simple enough to feasibly create. At least, I’m going to try. These were created by All You Need is Cupcakes, a cupcakery in Argentina. Cupcakes are taking over the world!
This made me laugh out loud. The rosy cheeks take the cake! So what do you think, is this too cute to eat? We’re not sure who made this, so feel free to claim it!
Move over Wilton Rose–here comes the Maria Chrysanthemum!
Who knew chrysanthemums could look so yummy? (And don’t worry–these chrysanthemums aren’t poisonous!)
Maria is a cupcaking caterer from Toronto.
My mouth is watering! These cupcakes look so dreamily and fruitily delicious. And really, my favorite cupcakes to make are the ones that look amazing without taking too much time. I can’t wait to steal this idea! Of course, I will give full credit to Megan’s Cupcakes of Cadillac, Michigan! Are those fruit roll-ups?
Check out these health care cupcakes from Sweetie Cupcake. With decorations like these, they must be super healthy, right? These would be great for any health care professional’s celebration. If I ever graduate from medical school, will someone treat me to a batch of these?
I would like to dedicate this post to my niece, who is the biggest Justin Beiber fan in the whole world. (Just ask her.) I’ll admit, his hair does look pretty yummy here. Chocolate?
This cupcake was created by Sam’s Cake Factory of Karachi, Pakistan. Sam’s “transforms dreams into cake art.” Awesome!
Deeming these “eyelash cupcakes” sounds a little gross, but I’m sure they’re delicious. What I can’t figure out though, is how did she make those eyelashes? Are they edible? Any guesses? Are any of you fondant eyelash experts? Lizzies_cakes added this photo to Flickr today. Happy 21st to the lucky cupcake recipient!
Okay, so maybe I’m a tad obsessive, but I just can’t get enough of Shaun the Sheep! And I think these might be my favorite Shaun cupcakes so far. Does that frosting not look delicious! Those are some sheep that I could shear quickly! This photo is courtesy of Lisa Scranton’s Flickr photostream, where you can also find lots of other cool cake stuff!
Oh my, the thought of white chocolate and strawberries is almost more than I can bear right now. And what better way to craft a butterfly then with a delicious, juicy strawberry? Visit Victorian Strawberries for a recipe and butterfly-crafting instructions!
