Trees and cupcakes are really popular right now and see to be popping up on everything. What better idea than to combine the two and create a cupcake tree card! This birthday greeting card by Pinkerton Designs for Tiny Little Prints costs $1.99-3.99. Any cupcake lover would be happy to be given this card which has what looks like cupcake ornaments coming off the tree!
It is a pleasure for me to introduce ATC readers to Cristina Del Sol, an award-winning Canadian mixed media and experimental visual artist with a soft spot for cupcakes.
Cristina is a unique artist, who paints as a way of exploring and experimenting. Her art serves as a journal of her life’s journey. For Cristina, art is a form of meditation, one that connects her to herself, the world around her, and the people who see her work. Cristina believes in, advocates for, and shares the healing power of art.
While her finished product is always captivating, it is her process that leaves me in awe. Her cupcake paintings are so much more than paintings – they are three-dimensional creations, using a variety of material ranging from cardboard to copper. She builds the base and the toppings of her art cupcakes much like the real ones, sometimes even piping the “frosting.” I wish I could watch her work!
Learn more about Cristina at her website: Cristina Del Sol. You can also view (and shop for) her art, much of it “cupcake-inspired,” at her Etsy shop: Cristina’s Fine Art Store or her blog: Cristina’s Daily Paintings.
I frequently find myself wishing I lived in Eurpoe. Things seem to be so much more sophisticated and lovely across the sea. When I came across John Lewis’s site I immediately wished I had a UK shipping address so I could buy the Flutters and Fancies Tea Towel, £6.99, which has the image of a cake stand filled with cupcakes and a bird on top. A similar cake stand is actually sold for £22.50, except the bird is painted on the stand instead of being perched on top. The website has more items that match these two along with tons of other great!
Welcome to Kandi World, a new online store featuring candy and cupcake inspired swimwear, jewelry, and other treats. Check out their leather change purse and their leather business card holder!
My husband says I can’t have any more stickers, so I’m out of luck, but I thought I would pass this opportunity to y’all. What opportunity? To make everyone who sees your sticker laugh! At least, it made me laugh. Hard. I’ll do a lot for a cupcake, but the dark side? … what kind of cupcake?
This vehicle sticker is available from Cool Custom Design via Amazon for $4.
Ceramic Cupcake Soap Dispenser

For the ultimate cupcake party princess you need to have one of these fantastic cupcake wine glasses! Say goodbye to those pesky little wine glass identifier metal rings, which get lost and in my case fly off as I get animated… no from now on I’m rocking up to my friends and family with this!
Well maybe not, I’m not that much of a princess, but it would be great fun at home. Though I am not too sure I would be able to keep it away from my daughter. Safe to say it would be juice and soda only for her (probably together, because she is crazy that way!)
You can get one of these glasses for the birthday girl, or treat yourself, birthday or no birthday. They are available from Diva Entertains!
I know I post about Sweet Paul a lot but I love everything he creates! So while the gift giving season is behind us I couldn’t help but share this idea for cupcake flowers. To make these flowers you need 3 large liners and 3 small liners. Then another line for my favorite part of these flowers, the tassels. For his brief instructions, visit Sweet Paul’s posting.
Are these cute or what? They’re billed as party favors, but I’m pretty sure I could justify the purchase of the set for just myself. Cute little chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and raspberry cupcakes. I would drive people crazy playing with the little flip-tops. This gift set is going for $12.50 these days at Amazon. 
I am continually looking for ways to display and deliver cupcakes. When giving cupcakes as a gift I like something that is covered to protect the cupcakes which is why I like these cupcake delivery boxes created by Simply Modern Mom. These do-it-yourself boxes are made out of card stock. Although she suggests using something a bit sturdier to support the cupcakes, now that she has tested out the boxes. To make the boxes you will also need to download the box and divider templates. The rest of the directions can be found below.
I’m not really sure I want my car to smell like cupcakes. I think I have enough problems. But to each his or her own, I guess. There are probably worse things for a car to smell like — soccer cleats comes to mind.
I found this cute rearview mirror jewelry at Accoutrements.
Even though I never wear an apron, I’m still in love with this one from Flirty Aprons. Maybe it’s time I got a little bit more domestic. This Frosted Cupcake Apron costs $34.95 and appears to be worth every penny.
Sometimes it is just down right unfair that I live in Australia and most of you live in America! Otherwise I would have this little baby hanging on my Christmas tree for sure!
Apparently Hallmark started off creating miniatures in 1974 and many of those are now highly sort after collectors items.
This mixing bowl is the latest release for 2010 and will no doubt also become a collectors item some day. You can pick these up from many stores (in America) and online by doing a search for Hallmark Merry Miniatures Mixer.
The bowl moves and says “Mixing up some holiday fun”.
This clear graphic cupcake cuff bracelet costs only $25.00 from BuyMyCrap’s etsy page. The banner surrounding the cupcake reads “Sweet Stuff.” I feel like with the stars and skulls it looks kind of punk but is still girly and sweet at the same time!
Pajamas can serve as a great fall back gift when you are stumped about what to give someone. These Pajamagram pajamas are great for any cupcake lover since they are covered in cupcakes. There are several sets available or you could go with the deluxe cupcake pajamas gift set. Included in this set is one full-length pair of pants, one pair of shorts, one long-sleeved fleece top, one long sleeved button up top, and one cami that can be personalized. The set costs $99.99 and free packaging is included with the purchase of all pajamas.
Here’s another gift idea for the cupcake-lover who has everything.
I found this classy cupcake candle at Beauty Encounter for $24.
You may recall earlier in the week we showed you examples of a fantastic set up for a Cupcake Birthday Party, but since then we have received a number of requests asking how that adorable little cupcake beanie was made!
Well now we can share the answer, which is Teresa’s ‘The Art of Crochet‘ website.
There is a load of information on this site about all things crochet, but the instructions for this beanie (in adult size) are all available on one page along with video instructions teaching you how to make each and every crochet stitch!
Unfortunately there is no pattern for a child, but you can just make the cupcake wrapper smaller to fit a smaller head and not put as many rounds on your cupcake topping!
All the instructions and video can be found here ‘How to crochet a Cupcake Hat’. Also they would make a great cupcake gift for Xmas!
This jumbo cupcake magnet can be found at Accoutrements. They recommend it for a fridge or filing cabinet, but because it is so HUGE, I’m thinking it would look pretty cool on my car.
Still searching for a gift for the cupcake lover in your life? How about these cupcake dessert plates available from Layla Grayce. The set of four petal shaped plates, each measuring six inches in diameter and featuring a different design costs $40.00.
Now this is a sweet stocking stuffer! My kids like to eat my lip balm though, so I will be hiding this and keeping it all for myself. Frosting flavored cupcake lip balm is available from Amazon for $6.79.
I am thinking this would look really smart in my cupcake-loving kitchen. This cupcake painting is 13-inches tall x 11-inches wide. The happy cupcake is painted on canvas and can be purchased, framed and ready for hanging, from Amazon for $39.
These Mr. and Ms. Cupcake T-shirts are adorable! Any little kid would look super cute in Finley and Oliver’s short sleeve shirts. The both Mr. and Ms. shirts cost $19.00 and Mr. Cupcake is available in Navy for sizes 2T-6T. The Ms. comes on slate grey unisex for size 2T and up or sizes 3-18 months are made on heather grey one pieces.
Does anyone on your list need a Cupcake Dispenser? Available from Amazon for $15.93, this cute contraption allows you to use three different colored sprinkles and comes with stencils to make cool designs!
I admit, I started laughing when I saw these. Actually, I’m still laughing. This might be cupcake-love gone too far. Effervescent Cupcake Drink Tablets. Just drop one of these babies into your glass of water and voila, you have bubbly cupcake-flavored water. I just don’t know why anyone would want his or her water to taste like a cupcake. Wouldn’t it be easier to just eat a cupcake? The manufacturers urge us not to limit ourselves to water though, claiming that the tablets also work well in milk, juice, and soda. Gross! Although, I can remember a few times in college when these little buggers would have come in handy, but we won’t go there. The manufacturers also recommend slipping them into your friend’s beverage when he or she isn’t looking. All Things Cupcake does NOT recommend nor endorse this! You can buy a tin of these at Amazon for only $6.99. Good luck! (Oh, and if you are not grossed out yet, they also come in bacon flavor!)
