My best cupcake hunter friend sent this to me this morning and I couldn’t wait to share it. A cupcake car? Yes, it can be your’s this Christmas for just $25,000! Neiman Marcus will customize it for you. This is quite possibly the coolest cupcake item I have ever seen. It’s tops on my list this year!
Put on your matching hat, slip under the muffin top of your Cupcake Car, and let the world figure itself out for awhile. Get (or give) the sheer, joyful chaos of a gift that is mind-blowing, triple-dog-dare, double-infinity forever cool. Make the kids or grandkids literally squeal with joy. Bring it to work and buzz the breakroom. Crash parades! Putter about the ‘hood. Ever had a crowd of kids chasing after you just for the crazy gleeful heck of it? (No worries, the top speed is a comfy-safe 7 mph.) What’s it made of? A 24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius. Launched at Burning ManSM as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks. Yours will be tricked out with your favorite topping, so start thinking flavors.

The credit for finding this costume goes to my best friend, who passed it along to me. She too shares an obsession with cupcakes and is thinking about buying this Hostess Cupcake Costume to be as cute as a cupcake for Halloween. It is from The Lingerie Closet and is $43.50 without shipping.

If you do not have the time to make your own cupcake costume, you can always count on Etsy for something homemade. Devaniweaver has created a Pink Cupcake Dress with sprinkles and a cherry. I love that it the bottom half really looks like a aluminum cupcake liner. The dress is $175.00, remember someone put a lot of hard work and time into this cupcake creation.

Just yesterday, California was suffering through another 90-100 degree Indian summer day. The last throes of summer refusing to leave. In a dramatic 24 hour reversal, it is now a brisk 60 degrees; the wind that has been absent for so long is back. Fall is here, and winter is just around the corner.
With fall comes the sniffles and the cold, and Ditsy Daisies delivers again with two new cupcake items. The first are reusable cupcake hand warmers. They come in a pack of 2 and easily fit into handbags or pockets.
The second are adorable cupcake pocket hankies. These thick 3-ply hankies the come in packs of 2. Instant relief for cold runny noses!

Halloween is just a little over a month away which means you can begin getting ready for holiday events, haunted houses, costume parties, and school parties. Michaels Craft Stores has a great selection of wrappers including these two Halloween options provided by Martha Stewart. There are Skull and Spider wrappers which have so much detail they are a little spooky.
and there is also Witch cupcake wrappers that come in beautiful colors to match the fall foliage.
The two wrapper styles are available at Michael’s stores, not online. The Martha Stewart Baking section at my local Macy’s had an additional wrapper style.

Halloween always comes up quickly once it becomes October and since it is September, that means it is time to get thinking about what you or your little one is going to dress up as. Cupcakes make there perfect costume for the young or the young at heart. The Food Network Magazine has directions for making you own cupcake costume.
My only issue with the design was that the cupcake liner portion is made out of cardboard. No problem if you are walking around but you would have some trouble if you needed to sit, say when it’s “wear your costume to school day.” But if you get creative I’m sure there is a solution, maybe a corduroy skirt instead of the cardboard?

The weather is getting cooler which means that Halloween is just around the corner. While shopping at Michaels last week for cupcake liners, I noticed that Michaels has quite a few options for those wanting to include cupcakes in their Halloween celebrations. Wilton has several cupcake items this year including cupcake stands, wrappers, liners, picks, stencils, and boxes. Many of these items are available in local craft stores, but the Skulls and Scroll designs are only available at Michaels.

Fourth of July is a day where everybody can come together and celebrate our country together. Especially in such an awful year financially for the country and personally for so many people, it is good to remember the roots and celebrate the strength of our nation, and look forward to change in the future.
I was inspired by our president’s speech calling for more people to choose public service as an occupation and serve the country. I was also inspired by the creativity of July 4th cupcakes.
