Kohls Halloween Cupcake Options

Posted by on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Kohls has quite a few cupcake items.  I thought I would share two that are fitting for this time of year.  One is Cupcake Fairy Wings which would make a cute last minute costume for any little girl.  Before you run out to the store be warned that this is an online exclusive and the wings cost $17.99

The second item is a girls cupcake T-shirt that is on sale for $6.30, so sizes are limited.  The shirt is pink with the three cupcakes decorated with a ghost, candy corn, and spider on top of each.

Cupcakes Keep You Warm

Posted by on Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It has turned quite chilly here in Maryland this week and I was thinking about how cupcakes can also keep you warm.    Personally, I want all of these Etsy accessories for my little cupcake and myself too!  I wonder how it might look if we walked down the street with all of these items? I think my friends might really refer me for counseling!   Is there Cupcake Addicts Annonymous (CAA)? 

Each of these crafts are from a different seller.  Just click on the photo to go to their shop.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of These

Posted by on Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Sometimes I dream about cupcake hunting and trying  new cupcake recipes. I wake up hungry for something sweet  but figure chocolate cupcakes for breakfast might send the wrong message to my kids.   I found these wonderful Etsy bedroom items that might make you dream of cupcakes too.

Pink Cupcake Costume

Posted by on Thursday, October 1st, 2009

If you do not have the time to make your own cupcake costume,  you can always count on Etsy for something homemade.  Devaniweaver has created a Pink Cupcake Dress with sprinkles and a cherry.  I love that it the bottom half really looks like a aluminum cupcake liner.  The dress is $175.00, remember someone put a lot of hard work and time into this cupcake creation.

Elle Macpherson Cupcake Collection

Posted by on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Unlike some cupcake undergarments there are no actual cupcakes this time. Here cupcake is only used in the title.    I thought I’d post it anyway since Elle Macpherson Intimates are always elegant and if you are wearing it under your clothes you will still know that what you have on has to do with what you love, cupcakes!  The Elle Macpherson Cupcake Collection has two bra and two underwear styles to choose from.  I found them on Zodee, which is offering a special, buy the bra and get the matching underwear free.  I also know that Nordstroms carries Elle Macpherson Intimates, the website did not show the cupcake line but you could always check with your local store.  And just to mention, since October is breast cancer awareness month, Nordstroms has a special where for every bra you buy in one of their stores they donate $2.oo to support Susan G. Komen for the cure. So you could buy the bra and get something free for you or buy a bra and do something good for others.

From Tattoo to T-Shirt

Homemade Cupcake Costume

Posted by on Friday, September 18th, 2009

Halloween always comes up quickly once it becomes October and since it is September, that means it is time to get thinking about what you or your little one is going to dress up as.  Cupcakes make there perfect costume for the young or the young at heart.  The Food Network Magazine has directions for making you own cupcake costume.

costume

My only issue with the design was that the cupcake liner portion is made out of cardboard.  No problem if you are walking around but you would have some trouble if you needed to sit, say when it’s “wear your costume to school day.”  But if you get creative I’m sure there is a solution, maybe a corduroy skirt instead of the cardboard?

Baltimore’s hottest boutique is celebrating its second sweet year of outfitting the City’s most fashionable women. Voted “Best Boutique” by Baltimore Magazine in 2006, Cupcake continues to gather accolades and attention from local media and fashionistas alike.

“It’s been a phenomenal two years,” said Lisa Schatz, Cupcake president. “We’ve evolved along with the tastes of Baltimore’s modern women, adding new vendors and styles that are usually found in the boutiques of New York and L.A.”

Quickly becoming a sought after fashion expert, Lisa has been featured by the Baltimore Sun, Style and Baltimore magazines, as well as appeared on WBAL and Fox 45. The store will also be enjoying a national placement in an upcoming issue of InStyle magazine.

“It’s crucial keep current in the world of fashion because everything changes so quickly,” said Schatz. “It also helps for when the media call for a trend watch or style update, we’ve got exactly what they need.”

According to Schatz, this season’s styles are all about being a girl. Be on the lookout for these fall/holiday trends:

  • All things feminine – ruffles, fitted waists, delicate lines.
  • Colors: burgundys, reds, browns, grays, purples, blues
  • Dresses –fun and flirty!
  • Prints – retro and funky.
  • Brocade fabrics

Some of the vendors featured at Cupcake this spring include Nicole Miller, BCBG, Black Halo, Trina Turk, Bianca Nero, NU Collective, Vince, Max & Cleo, J Brand jeans, Lofli, and 525 America.

“One of the best parts about being a local business is getting to know the customers and forging a personal relationship with them,” said Schatz. “Welcoming them by name, knowing what they like, remembering what styles look best on them, that’s the kind of attention a Cupcake customer can expect.”

Being a local business, Schatz has also become an important member of the Fells Point community, in addition to hosting various charitable events in her store.

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Following your Dreams

Posted by on Monday, July 27th, 2009

A fairytale story may start and end as simply as this.

Boy meets Girl. Boy designs T-shirts. Girl designs wedding cakes.

They start a business and live happily ever after…in the middle of several thousand cupcakes and racks of custom-designed T-shirts.  (Full Article Here)

Except this story is true.  A tale of following your own dreams, taking a chance, and working on what you love the most.  Another inspirational true cupcake store story at the Huffington Post.

This store pairing concept seems to be gaining steam.  By sharing a retail storefront and marrying two individual retail concepts together, the owners can share space and share marketing power by attracting different spheres of audiences.

In the San Mateo, CA area, I saw a retail concept that married an eyeglass store with a frozen yogurt/dessert store.  It was refreshing and fun.  Have you seen other store pairings in your local area?
