This has to be one of our favorite sayings here at All Things Cupcake! And now for only about $5, you can wear it on your nails. Fun? Yes! Quirky? Yes, that too! These decals are being sold on Ebay from seller yr_nails_online and they have many, many different designs. It seems that decal nail art is very much in (sweet) style!
How to apply: 1. Paint your nails with a clear base coat or a colour of your choice
2. Cut the Nail Decal to size allowing for some excess to trim
3. Soak the Nail Decal in warm water for 30-60 seconds
4. Remove from water, pat dry on a tissue and peel design from backing paper
5. Position onto nail and smooth down with finger and trim excess with nail scissors
6. Apply generous coats of clear top coat to protect your beautiful new design
I love using a little clipart to brighten up my computer projects and what could be more perfect than cupcake clipart? These totally sweet sets are available from Etsy seller, Dream Like Magic. Their shop is filled with over 200 graphic designs sets to be used for cards, invitations, Facebook covers, scrapbooking, stickers and Etsy banners. I bought a banner from them a few years ago for my own Etsy shop (Stay Home Cupcake) and I could not be happier with it. The only problem now is that Dream Like Magic has so many new choices, I may have to buy an update!

I love Kid President! If you have not watched his pep talk, you need to stop everything you are doing to watch it. Crystal Barlow-Jensen of Love, Crystal Lane also loves Kid President and was insprider to create this poster. Kid President is right, you can’t be sad when you’re holding a cupcake!
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!
I love the looks of this fondant art, which will soon be displayed in a hardware store–see, cupcakes are everywhere! Here’s what the creator has to say about this masterpiece:
A local hardware store is running a cupcake competition this month…I thought long and hard and this is my contribution, inspired by the beautiful work of Hello Naomi, and an illustration seen on Shutterstock. I’m not entirely satisfied with them though, so I think I might have to make a second contribution…
The image, which can be found by clicking “continue reading,” was created by Frugal Dad and breaks down the anatomy of our favorite baked good, the cupcake. The graphic shows where the ingredients used for baking cupcakes come from and some of the negative implications from the increase in baking the popular treat. It’s informative and eye opening but I still enjoy baking and eating cupcakes! Read the rest of this entry »
I am daily amazed by the works of art I see on Etsy. Today I found the sweetest clocks I have ever seen! They are made by All Things Cupcake sponsor, AngelHeartDesigns and they are only $38 each. Love, love, love! And check out the rest of her shop for other adorable works of art!
Do you remember the When I grow up print from Society6 that read “When I grow up I want to be a rock star-cowgirl-tap dancer-princess-school bus driver-cupcake sprinkler.” Well I was looking around Stephanie Corfee’s Etsy site thinking she looked familiar and realized that’s how I knew her! I love this Cupcake print that she has listed on her Etsy! It’s colorful, its fun, and it’s only $18.00. You can tell that Stephanie Corfee is a cupcake fan!

Do you pinterest? I am obsessed with it! I love seeing what everyone else is pinning and coming across great finds like this Paris vs New York print titled L’Obsession. It’s so true that in Paris macarons are available everywhere while New York is filled with cupcake shops! The print is available on society6 starting at $35.00.
I just made my first visit to Northern Michigan’s first and only cupcakery: Simply Cupcakes of Traverse City. What a lovely little spot in downtown Traverse!
An impressively wide selection of offerings included Banana Cream, Peanut Butter Cup, Hint of Mint, and Lemon Love, and while we sampled many, the winner was clearly the (pictured) Bumpy Cupcake: A rich dark chocolate cake stuffed with buttercream (which tasted more like mousse), and topped with homemade chocolate ganache and more buttercream, then dipped in chocolate ganache and finished with a few sprinkles. Holy wow! That cupcake was a meal.
I was impressed with how substantial the cupcakes were. They weren’t dense, but there was certainly something to them! And the frostings were non-traditional and left me wondering about their secret recipe.
The cupcakery itself is also a tantalizing hangout, with a “cupcake room” one can book for special events. Cupcake art hung on the wall, including the beauty below, which could be yours for $3000!
If you’re in the area, Simply Cupcakes is a must-stop for the cupcake-lover!

When I Grow Up Print-Stephanie Corfee
Over the weekend I spent some time browsing around Society6 checking out some of the different artwork the site has to offer. I loved some of the fun cupcake prints that are available! Since it’s been raining the past few days in North Carolina the Pick Me Up On A Rainy Day print seems perfect. I also really like the When I Grow Up print, I would love being a cupcake sprinkler too! The Operation Cupcake Printwas another one that I liked. I love that the cupcakes were brave enough to jump out of the plane! Each print is available in different sizes and there are lots of other cupcake prints to choose from!

Dominique of Sugarplum Cupcakes from across the pond over in England shared her masterful animal cupcake creations with us. My favorite is the sheep. The pearls woven together to simulate the wool is adorable. She will be offering a “Novelty Cupcake Workshop” to share her tips and tricks:
Forgot to mention I host cupcake workshops in Suffok, UK. These four
characters are stars of my latest ‘Novelty Cupcake Workshop’. Haven’t
named them yet, but really excited about filling a whole class with
them in the New Year! – Dominique
Too bad we are on the wrong side of the pond to attend. Register by contact her at her website contact form or on her Facebook page.

Lisa Pongrace and her friends from Acme Muffineering brought the Cupcake and Muffin Cars to arts and crafts events such as Burning Man as well as Maker Faire. We covered some of her previous exploits in a previous cupcake car post.
We found this video entertaining as it offers a glimpse inside the inner workings of a muffin car! All electric motor. Top speed of 15 mph. Acme Muffineering promises to release more details on how to make your own with $500 to $1,500 in materials.

It went from being 90 degrees one day to 60 the next here in South Carolina. I can’t help but want to throw on a scarf and enjoy a cup of tea and eat a cupcake. This poster that says “All I really want to do all day is just eat cake” is so true for how I feel today. The poster is by Jessica Ford Design and costs 40.00 euro. Also I know it says cake but it shows a cupcake and really who doesn’t want to eat cake or cupcakes all day?

I love getting unexpected packages in the mail! Like this belated birthday present that came last week. It’s a teal cupcake poster from AllPosters.com that says “Eat a cupcake then eat another.” The poster is surprisingly large measuring 24×36 inches and is surprisingly inexpensive costing only $4.98! At that price you could easily make someones day by surprising them with a little cupcake mail!
I know this is old in the blogging world but I still love this quote and the cupcake liner background. Found via Creature Comforts I think this quote is a great reminder of why you should stay positive! It makes for a great desktop background!
After going to see Katy Perry in concert a few weeks ago and reading a bit further into her interests and fashion sense, I read that she loves doing her nails! This has inspired me to be a bit more creative with my nails, which I usually never paint!
As I was doing my nails tonight (still in the middle of them) I said to myself – “CUPCAKE NAILS!!” I thought to myself there has to be tutorials out there somewhere. Low and behold, I found some Cupcake Nail Art!
In case you’re in the neighborhood, the first ever “Cupcake Throwdown and Artist Cakewalk” is happening TODAY from 3 to 6 p.m. at Antenna Gallery, 3161 Burgundy St., in New Orleans!
Artists and bakers will compete to produce the most creative confections in a range of categories, followed by a benefit cakewalk. Art and cupcakes. What could be better? Free cupcakes for kids in costumes! All proceeds benefit the nonprofit programs of Antenna/Press Street. Admission to the event is free.
Kara Miller is taking cupcake art to the world of fashion.
For her Senior Art Gallery Show at Ramapo College (NJ), Miller created a dress called the “Little Baking Cup Dress,” made of hundreds of pink and white cupcake wrappers with Sarovski crystals sewn along the bust line. Miller also made a tiara with royal icing and Swarovski crystals.
Baked by Melissa, a New York City bakery specializing in a line of mini-cupcakes, has a fun, new feature on their website where you can create your own edible cupcake art. Begin by choosing the number of mini-cupcakes you want (anywhere from 100- 2,500, arranged in a rectangle). Then select from 18 different cupcake flavors (s’mores, cookies and cream, peanut butter and jelly, red vanilla and pink vanilla are some of the options) to create your own colorful design.
