Giant Cupcake Cake made out of cupcakes

A ATC reader submitted this picture of her daughter’s 1st birthday cake…a giant cupcake cake made entirely out of cupcakes!  A friend of her husband, who happens to be a pastry chef, made this cake for them. There are 60 cupcakes under gobs and gobs of yummy buttercream frosting. Since her daughter’s birthday party theme was cupcakes, this was absolutely perfect.

Thanks for sharing! It looks so yummy!

Ceramic Cupcake Cups from Circa Ceramics!

Posted by on Monday, June 30th, 2008

Woah, it’s been a while, huh? Well, I’m back and I’m bearing pretty awesome news. Circa Ceramics, a Chicago-based ceramics team, fired me these amazing Bake and Destroy baking bowls and asked me to master the art of baking in ceramic vessels. I’m happy to report all went well and I’ll be posting a how-to video which will also include a recipe I developed just for Nancy and Andy- Ceramics Ceramics Cannoli Cupcakes. That’s right, the Quad-C.

No word yet on whether or not Bake and Destroy bowls will be made available to the public, but keep an eye on the CC Etsy shop for other baking vessels and dinnerware. You really can’t appreciate how beautiful their work is until you’ve picked it up and held it, but I’m sure  this post will get some comments from faithful customers of theirs.

With all the green-this and eco-friendly- that what could be greener than reusable cupcake baker-inners? And what could make for a fancier presentation? Like I said, I’ll give you the recipe and all the ins and out of baking in ceramics in my video this week end. If you’re just dying to hear me talk you can watch my stupid “nutritious cupcakes” video I made for one of my classes.

The Fairly Odd Parents – Abra-Catastrophe The Movie (2001)

Posted by on Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

The Fairly Odd Parents - Abra-Catastrophe The Movie (2001)

In Abra-Catastrophe, it’s Timmy’s “Fairy-Versary” and Cosmo and Wanda are celebrating Timmy’s year-long secrecy about their existence by throwing a party with a guest list that includes Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the iron-pumping Jorgen Von Strangle. Magical gifts abound, but the most precious of all is a cupcake that promises the eater one “rule-free” wish. Timmy’s teacher Mr. Crocker, ever obsessed with proving the existence of fairies, senses the presence of great magic and tries to claim the cupcake for himself when Timmy misplaces it. While Timmy tracks the lost cupcake, a common citizen, Bippy the monkey, and even Mr. Crocker manage to steal nibbles of the magical cupcake and end up jeopardizing the entire future of the universe. Can Timmy save the world by exploiting the power of truth?

Available at Amazon for $6.99.
