Bake & Destroy’s Classic Monster Cupcake Toppers & More.
Posted by cupcake girl on Saturday, September 27th, 2008I can’t think of a better way to decorate your cupcakes for halloween (or anytime) than with Bake & Destroy‘s super creepy, super awesome Classic Monster Cupcake Toppers.

They are only $6.00 and for something handmade, unique, unable to find anywhere else, what a great deal.
I also love these Horror Poster Cupcake Toppers too.

Basically, Bake & Destroy is going to take over the world with her cupcake toppers and merch. To be a part of take over, get an awesome shirt (I have the shirt and the hoodie. Srsly.)

Last but not least, she featured a delicious Pumpkin Cupcake recipe on her blog last year, and I am tempted to try but, but like her, what the heck is cream sherry? Hm…

She says “I was really trying to avoid the cliche of pumpkin cupcakes in October, but the other day my mother-in-law bought grocery store cupcakes right in front of me! I almost protested but then I realized I hadn’t baked for the woman in ages. She loves pumpkin, as does my husband and I happened to have a can in my cupboard. This recipe is from 125 Best Cupcake Recipes by Julie Hasson.”

Kid’s Cupcake Costume
Posted by bakeanddestroy on Thursday, September 4th, 2008
If you’re anything like me, early September is prime “what are we all going to be for Halloween” brainstorming time. Last year I was convinced we would make an amazing version of The Munsters. Me as Lily, my husband is a perfect Herman and if anyone was ever Eddie Munster it’s my son. That never quite panned out, Teno ended up being “baby billionaire” and Tony and I were lucky we managed to get dressed in the morning. So I think my dream of following previously posted advice about making my own cupcake costume is well… pretty much unrealistic. I know we have a lot of crafty mama readers, though, and you’re exactly who I thought of when I saw these instructions on Wondertime for making a kid’s cupcake costume. So gather up your materials and get to work! I want to see done damn adorable photos come Halloween!
You’ll need:
- 2 wire wreath forms (1 large, with a diameter similar to a bushel basket, and 1 small, just big enough to fit over your child’s head)
- Bailing wire (available at most hardware stores)
- Wire snips
- 2 yards fluffy white fabric
- 2 yards of 1-inch-wide elastic (for the “frosting” and suspenders to hold up bottom of cupcake)
- Newspaper
- Pastel-colored felt squares (for making confetti dots)
- Bushel basket
- 2 yards brown fabric
- 1 yard white felt (or ribbed white material)
- White stocking or knit hat
- White tights and shoes
- Cardboard paper-towel roll
- Red and yellow felt squares (for making candle and flame)
Now go check out the article for the instructions!

Cupcake Knitting Needles
Posted by GreenEyedLillies on Sunday, June 1st, 2008
Cupcake Knitting Needles $7.50
These cute cupcake knitting needles will surely put a smile on your face while knitting that special something.
This listing is for the blue wrapper, white frosting, and heart topper cupcakes.
Each pair of knitting needles are aluminum. The cupcakes are made of a light-weight non-toxic modeling material. The cupcakes are securely attached to the needles.
These needles are great to knit with, as the cupcakes are just the right size, and are light-weight, so your needles will not feel heavy while knitting.
You can choose what size needles you would like–anywhere between size 2 and 15. Since the size of the needles will be covered up by the cupcake topper, she will write the size number small somewhere on it (on the lower back, most likely).
*Note*
Each piece is made to order. Meaning, that the items are made after you purchase them.
Also, as each piece is hand made by me, every piece will not be identical; although, she will try to make things look as equal as possible. Thanks!
Available at the Crafty Cupcake Etsy shop.

Cupcake Knuckles

I get asked all the time why my knuckles say “Midwest” instead of “cupcake.” I don’t have a proper answer, but maybe this cross stitch from City Down will shut everyone up. It’s hilarious, crafty and only $15. Find it at citydown.etsy.com
Sugarville German Glass Glitter
Posted by GreenEyedLillies on Thursday, April 24th, 2008
This fine glitter (about the same size as sugar) made from real shards of glass. This is the glitter I use to add the “sugar coating” to my sparkly refurbished houses.
Not edible! Very dangerous if consumed. Exercise caution with use and keep away from children and food preparation areas.
4 ounces.
