How do you carry your cupcakes? I just found two great cupcake carriers/holders.
Wire Cupcake Caddy from Bake It Pretty
I absolutely love this carrier. I love the look of the it. It would be perfect in my apartment.
Inflate & Take Cupcake Carrier from Chef’s Resource
This is quite the comical cupcake carrier. It reminds me of a float you would use in the pool in the summer. Plus, its great if you live in a place with limited storage!
Corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer treats! But corn on the cob cupcakes?! These would be a great treat to present at your next BBQ to fake out your company.

Such a great idea and fun too!
What a perfect way to start off your summer BBQ’s with these colorful cupcakes in a jar. They remind me of the tie dyed cupcakes, but in a jar. I think they are fabulous! They are super easy to make, and a great project to do with the kids. These would also be great done in red, white and blue for July 4th!

I absolutely love these cupcake kits. They are a perfect way to quickly decorate any cupcakes. The kit includes 24 cupcake liners (2 different design)s and 24 cupcake toppers. I found this Flowers In Bloom kit at Patina.
This kit goes perfect with the gorgeous flowers I see popping up everywhere around me!
What can you do with 3,000 hot pink frosted cupcakes? Well, make a pink Cadillac of course! That is just what the owners of Georgetown Cupcake and stars of hit TLC TV show DC Cupcakes, Sophie and Katherine did.

Kinky Cupcakes by Joanna Farrow found at Amazon
I never thought hat I would utter the words zombie and cupcakes in the same sentence. They don’t usually seem like things that go together. When I think cupcakes I think colorful, fruity, flowers etc. And when I think about zombies I think about blood, guts, brains etc. But I have found two books that combine all that is bright in this world and all that is gore.
I found A Zombie at My Cupcake: 25 Deliciously Weird Cupcake Recipes and Zombie Cupcakes: From the Grave to the Table with 16 Cupcake Corpses at Amazon.com.

She specialized in whimsical screen printed kitchen accessories: aprons, dishtowels, totes and potholders. She has quite a few different cupcake patterns and color combination’s. Here are a few of my favorites.
The Bridget Apron – Light Green with Red Cupcake
I must say that cupcakes are one of the hardest baked goods to transport. They have to be separated individually so they frosting doesn’t get ruined and its really hard to stack cupcakes one on top of the other without ending up with smashed cupcakes! As we all know there are tons of different types of cupcake holders out there to fix this dilemma. But I must say that this is the most creative one that I have seen and the most fun.
These come in two different colors and can be found at the Food Network Store.
