Like cupcakes? Like sausage? How about cupcake sausage? Meet the cupcakewurst–a cupcake baked and grilled in a real sausage casing, then topped with raspberry “ketchup” and stuffed into a doughnut “roll.” Sound fun? You can find full instructions here.

Have you seen the Cupcake Cult clothing line? Here’s what Attitude Clothing Co. has to say:

Cupcake Cult is a brand new clothing range from the sick minded people who brought you the likes of Heartless clothing and Poizen Industries. Do not be fooled by the twisted cuteness of cupcake, it is not for the faint hearted. Slasher, Slimer and Killer to name but a few make up this cult and will take no prisoners! With more twisted designs which are sure to satisfy those evil cravings, it is time for the revolution, it is time for CUPCAKE CULT.

Here are some of their offerings, available in the UK:

Sometimes I think a particular event just don’t have a cupcake to go with it. But then I find out I am wrong. As evinced by these gorgeous First Communion cupcakes from Cordel de Sabores’ Flickr photostream.

Now these are some cool cupcakes–exquisite, abstract, I’m not sure I could eat one. Check out other original and fanciful ideas at Gold Leaf Confections’ website. (These ladies know how to do a cupcake tower!)

I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of Tomato Soup Cupcakes, but I might try it if enough of you dare me to. Apparently the secret tomato soup ingredient–okay well, it’s not much of a secret ’cause it’s in the title, but anyway–adds a lot of moisture to the cupcake.

The rest of the ingredients in the recipe are fairly standard, though they do say you can replace the spices with ground pepper. Okay, the curiousity is killing me–I think I will try it. We did have a sale on tomato soup recently.

I give away a lot of cupcakes. Not really because I’m a nice person (even though I am), but because I need to get them out of my house. Just because I enjoy baking and decorating two dozen cupcakes, doesn’t mean I need to eat two dozen cupcakes. And it’s always a struggle to transport them in such a way as to not damage my decorating efforts. We all know plastic wrap is a bad idea. And although I’m sure my friends don’t mind getting a cupcake in a cottage cheese container, there must be a better way, right? There is! Until I went looking, I had no idea how many cupcake box options there are through Wilton. They are a little pricey (3 small boxes for $3.29 or 2 big boxes for $5.29), but when you’re giving the gift of cupcakes, it is tempting to splurge.

Well it doesn’t get much cuter than giant panda cupcakes. (The pandas are giant, not the cupcakes.) But don’t eat them–they’re endangered!

Check out my newest Etsy find: handmade glass beads–featuring cupcakes! Visit this talented artist at Kitzbitz Art Glass or at her Etsy shop!

I love this idea! Make some cute cupcakes with ingredients you probably already have kicking around! Check out Jasminwoo’s Flickr stream for other cool stuff (like Hello Kitty poptarts–what?!).

These lego cupcakes aren’t as involved as some we’ve seen, but they are pretty darn cute and would make many little boys I know very happy. And what little boy doesn’t adore Thomas and his friends? These cute creations are from Little Robin Cake Studio of Wodonga, Victoria in Australia. You can also visit their Facebook page.

Oh my gosh! How funny is that? This squirrel is perched on the edge of a garbage can in North London. I admire a squirrel who knows what he wants!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Move over fried ice cream–here comes margarita cupcakes! Visit the Columbia Daily Tribune for the recipe!

My kids love Backyardigans. So I was happy to spot these Backyardigan Cupcake Rings from Zoomparty. A set of 12 costs $3.29, and makes for a super quick way to make your kiddo’s cupcakes extra special. Zoomparty carries an entire of line of Backyardigan–themed party items, so, if you are ambitious, you could create an entire Backyardigans experience!

Here’s a quick but clever cupcake idea for the Star Wars fan in your life!

This past weekend, I made my first visit to the great city of Indianapolis! And I learned that there’s more to Indianapolis than football and race cars. The folks in Indianapolis know their cupcakes, as is evinced by The Flying Cupcake Bakery, which has four locations in and around the city. The Flying Cupcake’s slogan is “We eat all we can and then sell the rest.” Isn’t that great?

The Flying Cupcake is charming and spunky, just like the city where it was born. Not only do they sell an impressive variety of cupcakes, but they also offer cute t-shirts and even cupcake-inspired baby attire! We choose to sample the Black Bottom, a dark chocolate and cheesecake cupcake that seemed to weigh at least five pounds; the Pucker Up, a lemon chiffon cake filled with lemon cream and topped with lemon butter cream icing; and the Bart Simpson, a chocolate cupcake topped with rich peanut butter cream cheese frosting and then rolled in Butterfinger chunks. These. cupcakes. were. perfect.

Their red velvet cupcake, which they call the “Red Velvet Elvis,” claiming it is “fit for a king,” is loaded with chocolate chunks and topped with cream cheese frosting and white chocolate shavings. My daughter tried the Boston Cream Pie, a vanilla cupcake filled with Bavarian cream and topped with chocolate ganache. I admit, I stole a bite of it, and was happy that I did.

At The Flying Cupcake, the flavors change daily, so I can’t wait to go back for another round. I recommend you do too. You’ll find their daily flavors on Facebook. You can also follow them on Twitter.

I love strawberry cupcakes, but yesterday, I decided to jazz them up a little. I used a strawberry cake mix, and filled each cupcake with sliced strawberries after they had cooled off. (I used a frozen strawberry shortcake topping.) Then, I added a mashed banana to the frosting. And honestly, I could not believe how delicious the results were. It was a like a fruit smoothie cupcake!

Now here’s a combination I’ve never thought of, but it does sound good on a hot afternoon. Visit the blog of The Apocalypse Bakery for instructions and recipe! And, eat responsibly.

I just found a new toy! Duff food color pens! I found these pens, which act much more like markers, at Michaels for about $9. They are fun and easy to use, and great for kids’ decorating. But first, I used them to personalize these fondant-topped cupcakes for my friend’s birthday!

Check out this handmade polymer clay cupcake pendant from Be Fearless. Isn’t she talented? In case you need one of your own, she walks you through the entire process on her blog! I think I need one, but I don’t think I’m artistic (or patient) enough to pull this off.

For many of us, it is maple syrup season, and I can’t think of a better way to spend this golden sweetness than in some cupcakes! Check out these Blueberry and Maple Syrup Cupcakes! You can find the recipe and instructions at Forty Percent Fringe Sixty Percent Face. It’s the cupcake(s) you can have for breakfast, right?

Here’s a cupcake idea for the artist in your life! How artistic! Visit Natashaogle’s Flickr photostream for more cool cupcake photos!

Here’s a great cupcake idea from Cupcake Mojo, a new cupcakery opening in Weymouth, Massachusetts: Skittle Cupcake! This fruity delight is a vanilla cupcake with Skittles baked in, topped with Skittle-flavored buttercream, and topped with a Skittle. Skittleicious!

There’s a very special item on Ruby Tuesday’s new and improved menu–cupcakes!

And they’re awesome! Hooray for Ruby Tuesday!

Check out what I just found in my Easter basket! Cupcake stencils! My son got them for me at Walmart, and if he picked them out, then I know they weren’t very expensive. I can’t wait to try them! Happy Easter cupcake lovers!
