Bed Bath and Beyond has these cupcake shaped containers of Easter candy. I have no idea what the flower candy inside the package tastes like but it definitely looks in the cupcake container! The candy costs $2.99 so it’s the perfect addition to any Easter basket or package.
Remember those cupcake shaped Easter eggs from Walmart that we shared with you? Well Target has Easter eggs that are decorated to look like cupcakes! I really like these eggs because they still have the traditional egg shape but are fun colors!
Target had some other cupcake products worth sharing like this cute cupcake pillow with a matching four piece toddler bed set. The pillow costs $14.99 and is fun even without the matching bedding!
Last year I found these cupcakes after St. Patrick’s Day so I was too late to post them but I figured I would save them for this year. As I have said many times, I love simple, tasteful designs and that is why I love these Lucky Vanilla Cupcakes by Sprinkle Bakes. The cupcakes are a vanilla cake with honey cream cheese frosting that is topped with ground pistachios which is mean to look like a grassy knoll for the simple chocolate horseshoe to sit atop. These cupcakes are a fun twist on the traditional St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes which are usually green with shamrocks or leprechauns.
My local WalMart already has the Easter merchandise out. I noticed this box of plastic cupcake egg hunt candy filled “eggs” in the seasonal section. The box includes 28 cupcakes instead of the traditional eggs filled with lemon heads and jellybeans for $5.48.
Now that Valentine’s Day has past the stores have all their St. Patrick’s Day merchandise on display. I saw this cute cupcake baby onesie at my local TJMaxx. A baby would look very festive in the onesie, tutu, and headband, if you can get the baby to keep the headband on!
I know that Easter is a few months away but, I can’t help but share this great cupcake tutorial/recipe with you.
Crazy, creative bakers our there are always coming up with new amazing techniques for baking cupcakes and this one takes the (cup)cake!
Simply, Amazing!

Like Stayhomecupcake, I too went to Target this week and spotted some great, cheap cupcake finds. For only $1.00 you can get the extra large cupcake valentine’s day card! I also love the cupcake straws that include four different colors in a pack. The straws can be purchased online for only $2.00!
Placemat
Cookie Jar
These are just a few of my favorite items. Kohl’s also has towels, bowls, platters, tableclothes and many more sweet items!
Gift giving with fellow cupcake lovers is always fun. Last night my best friend and I video iChatted while we opened our christmas gifts for each other. I was so excited to open my package and see my Christmas present wrapped in cupcake Christmas wrapping paper. My friend said she bought it from Barnes and Noble but I also found the gift wrap on Amazon for $12.00. For my friend’s present I used the Snow & Graham Holiday Cupcake wrap that’s $6.50 for two flat sheets. Read the rest of this entry »

Good Morning ATC Community! and welcome to the official start of crunch time. These are the days that we second-guess whether we did enough of everything and end up doing too much!
If you’re like me, you’ve baked a fair amount of holiday treasures.
But holiday week is a bit like a marathon and, in the home stretch, who isn’t looking for fresh ideas to keep inspired? The challenge I set to myself is whether I can come up with a week of images, recipes, and instructions to keep us all – myself included – at 350F from now through next Saturday.
These Baked Ideas images are cookies, but so fresh and original they will inspire your cupcake decorating ideas. Here’s a smorgasbord of cookie decorating ideas from “Baked Ideas” by Patti Paige, along with the Baked Ideas’ Facebook page and the video on the Baked Ideas mini gingerbread houses. 3,000 each season!
If you’re still looking for last minute gifts, Baked Ideas even sells yoga cookie cutters. How did she do that? Here’s her video on piping royal icing onto each one of the yoga posed gingerbread men and here’s the Baked Ideas gingerbread recipe.
Ah-ha! My Muse gripped that one!
Today, I’m going to springboard those Baked Ideas into spice cupcakes with yoga shapes drawn on the top, including some Sandskrit symbols, such as “Namaste.” And I know just who is on my list for these yoga cupcakes…
Now that’s what I mean about taking inspiration and giving yourself permission to be creative at the holidays! What’s your idea?
Countdown: 6 days.
Australians may be celebrating Christmas with barbeques, but they’re eating lovely snowflake cupcakes with their ribs and potato salad! Check out more lovely pics from Piggley’s Flickr photostream.
Christmas stollen is such a favorite food at the holidays, who can resist the notion of converting it into a cupcake? 
Here’s one recipe for Christmas stollen cupakes from The Cupcake Project.
Raisins, dried cranberries, dried currents, dried cherries…we’ll let that negate the bit of pleasure we’ll take from a bit of cherry liqueur and brandy. And, of course, we’ll only pour those into the recipe, won’t we?
Just in case you have some cherry liqueur left over, here’s a companion recipe for Black Forest Cupcakes. Well, if I’m on that theme, let’s be sure to have on hand a recipe for White Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes.
Now there’s a cupcake trio that deserves a Ho-Ho-Ho!
I think it is well established that we here at ATC love Johnny Cupcakes! I myself have at least four Johnny Cupcake T-shirts and am always tempted to buy another! The Johnny Cupcakes Boston twitter is currently doing holiday carol tweets replacing lyrics in the carols with the word “cupcake.” There are some really funny ones like “cupcakes rosting on an open fire. Frosting dripping from your nose” or “He bakes ’em while yr sleeping & bakes while yr awake U better B hungry on Xmas day so U eat a giant cupcake .” If you have your own ideas for some cupcake Christmas carols use the hashtag #cupcakecarols. Or check out their twitter page to put you in the holiday spirit!
Looking for a quick and easy decorating idea? Check out these inexpensive cupcake picks from Walmart. I found them in the holiday section, right beside the garland and tinsel! Take your pick of the picks! The ones in the center read, “Homemade for the Holidays.” I’m partial to the snowflakes.
I just spotted these cupcake holiday tree ornaments at my local Walmart!
At only $0.97 each, I was able to spring for one of each color!
What’s a conifer without cupcakes?
Happy decorating!
I love going to Trader Joe’s! They always have delicious samples and great food products, I highly recommend the Pastry Bites with feta cheese and caramelized onions! My sister told me they have giant peppermint cupcakes for the holiday season, I haven’t tried them yet but the next time I’m in Trader Joe’s I plan on picking one up!

A cupcake Christmas is the only one for me! I am from Tennessee and while we like to keep things traditional and tender during the Holiday Season I am opting for a more sweet approach. This year I am decking my silver tree with sweet cupcake ornaments to remind us to be a little sweeter this Christmas!
Congratulations! Please email your mailing address to [email protected]. Thanks to all our sweet fans and to KamNCo for sponsoring this great giveaway!
For those of you already gearing up for Christmas, you will love this week’s giveaway. It is sponsored byKamNCo and check out these adorable cupcake Christmas ornaments they create. Many people call them “cupfakes” because although they look real, they are made with inedible ingredients. I have one and am amazed by it’s realistic appearance. And they are light enough to go on a children’s Christmas tree. How unbelievable would a whole tree decorated with these be?
One lucky winner will receive a cupcake ornament! So sweet! To enter this week’s giveaway, click on the comment area below and tell us how you love to decorate for the holidays. Do you use cupcakes?
