For you fashion fans out there. These fashion label cupcakes were shot by Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard and styled by Lisa Edsalv. Quite obviously, the inspirations were Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, and Betsey Johnson. I wonder if they taste as good as they look.

Hi, Just looooooove getting daily updates on your cupcake site.
Thought I’d share pics I took of my knitted cupcakes plus other cupcake paraphernalia. For some deeply obscure reason, I find that knitting and decorating cupcakes is divinely relaxing and non-fattening.
Thank you for sharing your Knitted Cupcakes Mosiacs with us! They are awesome!
Finally 209 Cupcake Painting by kmiller2
This painting is done on 5 x 7 panels with oil paint. The “icing” texture was made with acrylic medium the artist piped through a pastry bag. The sprinkles were made using a small tip on a piping bag; the rose was made on a flower nail. Once the acrylic medium dried the artist was then able to paint over it with oil paint to give them color.
These “cupcakes” are available to purchase. The artist is also taking on any “special order” cupcake painting requests.

With Mother’s day around the corner, here is an excellent DIY suggestion from Theresa Wong at thestar.com.my. As delectable as these cupcake boxes may seem, they are in fact not edible. They are merely paper mache containers for little treasures hidden inside of them!
All of the materials (ingredients) needed can be found at your local crafts store. Click here for step by step DIY instructions.
As with any other english speaking country, the english language may be the same, but the terminology may be different. Below are some terms that I had to scratch my head a little to figure out:
Foam fruit net = foam net that protects fruit
Paper cake cases = paper cupcake liners
Patty tin = muffin tin
This cute little chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting & sprinkles looks so delicious and would be a great treat for your bestest sweet…heart! WHAT IS IT?
Cupcakes are yummy, but this one won’t get hard, or stale, or moldy. Use it as a pin cushion, table centerpiece, or paper weight. WHAT’S IT MADE OF?
It is made of 100% wool by a process called needle-felting. Needle-felting is a process of matting and compressing the wool into felt by stabbing a barbed needle into the fibers over and over again. It also has some small beads sew into the top, just like sprinkles, and is glued to a real cupcake paper. HOW BIG IS IT? t is just about the size of a real cupcake. It’s about 3″ in diameter by 3 1/2″ tall.

Flour, frosting and fondant are the ingredients artist and baker Zilly Rosen will use to create portraits of US presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, dpa reported.
Washington’s National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum are co-hosting their fourth annual Presidential Family Fun Day on Saturday.
The centrepiece of the event will be Rosen’s portraits, using 5,000 cupcakes arranged to look from above like Lincoln (1861-65), remembered as the Great Emancipator, and Obama, who took office last month as the first African-American president.
“This presidential portrait is not only distinguished but delicious,” the National Portrait Gallery touted.
Unlike the paintings in the galleries of the two museums, the cupcake portraits will have a very short shelf life. After staying on display for the afternoon, the artwork will be deconstructed by the children in attendance.
The free, family-oriented event, an observance ahead of Monday’s Presidents’ Day, will also include fife-and-drum music, singing, storytelling and historical impersonators including Lincoln and other presidents.
Thursday was the 200th birthday of Lincoln, who ordered the emancipation of slaves in 1863 and was assassinated in April 1865, just days after achieving victory in the American Civil War.
The cupcake artwork will be titled A New Birth of Freedom, borrowing a phrase from one of Lincoln’s most famous speeches.
This installation was also streamed live via webcast!

When you scour the earth for cupcakes on the daily like we do at ATC you see a lot of cupcake stuff. There’s good stuff and bad stuff and stuff that’s so lame we don’t even bother.
Then there’s stuff like the stuff I found at LivingThread that’s so great I emailed it to myself on my way to work so I woudn’t forget to post it. This is good stuff.
Of course we’re partial to the cupcake-themed items but I can’t help but be drawn to the embroidered knuckle tattoos and fancy aprons as well.
posted about here!
