These cupcakes by The Adventures of Sugarbelle are seriously the cutest Easter cupcakes I have ever seen!  At first I thought the head of the chick was a macaron but after scrolling down further and looking at the image closer I realized they are little chick cookie cupcakes!  They cupcakes look easy to put together but I have a feeling this would be an all day decorating event so if you’re planning on these better start soon!

Meri Meri is one of my favorite companies, everything they make is very cute, especially their cupcake topper sets.  For Easter they have this Happy Easter Cupcake Treat Kit on the Hearth Song website.  The kit, which costs $12.99 includes two egg boxes with tags and ribbons, 24 mini cupcake liners, and 12 cupcake toppers.  I love that the cupcakes are displayed in the egg carton, such a festive idea that you could easily replicate on your own after dying a dozen Easter eggs!

Each Sunday I like to flip through the Parade Magazine that comes inside the Sunday newspaper with the coupons and flyers.  There is usually a good recipe or two inside.  This week, in preparation for Easter there is a vanilla cupcake recipe and three Easter cupcake decorating ideas.  I think I have seen versions of these over the years but sometimes it’s good to see an old idea again.  Personally I still love the “hot chick” because it looks too easy to mess up!

I found these creative Bunny’s Carrot Garden Easter Cupcakes on Wilton’s website.  I know filled cupcakes are very popular right now and I think these cupcakes would be a huge hit at any Easter celebration!  Most of the reviews say that they are easy to make and guest liked them.

Easter is just 10 days away, which means if you haven’t started getting your Easter baskets ready it is time you start.  Or you could just buy this Sweets in Bloom Easter Cupcake from Walmart for $26.99.  The ceramic keepsake cupcake container is filled with Peeps, Jelly Beans, SweetTarts, Dum Dums and more making it a fun gift for children or adults.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!  I hope you all have a very lucky day and if you’re old enough you have a green beer or one of these Guinness, Jameson & Baileys cupcakes!  These triple liquor cupcakes have Guinness in the frosting, Jameson in the chocolate ganache, and Baileys in the frosting.  Topped with a small green shamrock, these cupcakes by Cake & Allie look festive and delicious!

There are so many different options for St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes.  At first it seems like the classic dyed green is the only option but when you start thinking about it there are Irish car bomb cupcakes, mint variations of cupcakes, lucky charms cupcakes, and these Emerald Isle Cupcakes from Gooseberry Patch.  Instant pistachio pudding mix gives the cake portion their green coloring and a few drops off food coloring help add a darker festive green to the frosting.

Do you dress your kids in festive outfits?  I think these cute kawaii St. Patrick’s Day cupcake shirt from Zazzle is perfect for this sunday! Prices start at $19.00 for this shirt that has just the right amount of green and shamrocks!

The past few years when it’s time for St. Patrick’s Day I start seeing the McDonald’s commercials for their Shamrock Shake.  The mint flavored, bright green colored shake is the inspiration behind these shamrock milkshake cupcakes from Better Homes and Gardens.  Buttermilk and creme de menthe give these cupcakes their minty milkshake flavoring.

Groundhogs Day is tomorrow and even though here in North Carolina we have had a mild winter so far, I am hoping the groundhog does not see his shadow!  I am ready for spring weather!  I love these Groundhogs cupcakes created by Bloom Designs using green frosting, sprinkles, and teddy grahams.  The cupcakes are so easy and the teddy graham looks cute popping out of the frosted cupcake!

Cupcake Place Mat from Kohl’s $4.79 each

I love walking through the stores this time of year because so many stores pair cupcakes and hearts in their Valentine’s decor items. So far I have spotted cuppies in the Valentine’s sections at Walmart, Target, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Christmas Tree Shop and Kohl’s.  So a big thank you to all the stores who join cupcakes and hearts this holiday season.  You make it so much more special for the cupcake obsessed.  All Things Cupcake appreciates you!

As soon as the holidays end and New Years hits, it seems like it’s time to start thinking about the next holiday, which is my personal favorite, Valentine’s Day!  I have already started keeping an eye out for great cupcake items and spotted these cupcake cards on Pottery Barn Kids’s website.  The set of 20 cards cost $12.00.

If you are planning a slightly more sophisticated New Years Eve Party these cupcake martinis by Danielle’s Desserts might be just what you are looking for.  They are simple yet classy and the gold liners and flowers make them perfect for a NYE table place setting.

I have to admit there have been many New Years Eves in my twenty something years  that I have spent watching the ball drop from my couch.  Sometimes it is nicer to just sit at home and relax instead of getting all dressed up and staying up late.  If you are planning on staying in or throwing a little NYE get together, these ball drop cupcakes by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen are the perfect cupcake!  I know they cupcakes and resolutions that go along with the blog post are two years old but they made me laugh so you should definitely read them!

There’s no such thing as too much frosting, especially when Santa is in town! This delightful photo brought to you from lenibvs’s  Flickr photostream, the home of many tasty-looking treats!

My sister sent me the link to the Hello Cupcake App video for ornament cupcakes being produced at the factory.  It’s a really cute little video with great sounds that kids are sure to love.  If you are interested in trying to make your own ornament cupcakes, the technique of the month is shimmering and glimmering which will get you started!

‘Tis the season for … nativity cupcakes of course! I would feel a little bad about eating the baby Jesus, but I wouldn’t mind taking out a wise man for the cause. (Photo courtesy of BWPGroup blog.)

Too pretty to eat, right? These pear and cranberry cupcakes were created by The Baking Pan,where you’ll find complete recipe and instructions. Mmm … just the idea of sweet pears and cranberries alongside the warmth of cloves and nutmeg … gotta go!

I just found this cute cupcake kit at Kmart. Will someone please buy it for me? ‘Tis not the season to spend money on myself!

I spotted these candy cane topped cupcakes on Pinterest and instantly loved them!  They are perfect for a holiday party and it turns out it’s really easy to shape candy canes!  According to Bickiboo Party Supplies you simply place unwrapped, large, candy canes on a parchment paper or silicon lined baking sheet  in a 250 degree F oven for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes the war candy canes can be lifted off the tray and formed by hand or cut with scissors to your desired shape.

If you’re looking for a little something to add to a stocking or to dress up your gift packaging, how about one of these cupcake ornaments from Sur La Table.  The ornaments come in pink or brown and are $9.06 each.  If you have a desserts or sweets themed tree they also have pink, green, and purple macarons, cream puffs, ice cream bars, cannolis, and more!
