I would like to dedicate this post to my niece, who is the biggest Justin Beiber fan in the whole world. (Just ask her.) I’ll admit, his hair does look pretty yummy here. Chocolate?
This cupcake was created by Sam’s Cake Factory of Karachi, Pakistan. Sam’s “transforms dreams into cake art.” Awesome!
Okay, so maybe I’m a tad obsessive, but I just can’t get enough of Shaun the Sheep! And I think these might be my favorite Shaun cupcakes so far. Does that frosting not look delicious! Those are some sheep that I could shear quickly! This photo is courtesy of Lisa Scranton’s Flickr photostream, where you can also find lots of other cool cake stuff!
I have always loved back to shopping; there is something about starting off the school year with all new products that I enjoyed. On a quick trip to Target over the weekend I found several cupcake items in their back to school section! There are dollar cupcake notebooks, composition journals, and folders. I also spotted two cute little cupcake coin purses that are also only $1.00. There was a pack of pencil erasers which included cupcakes for $1.99.
Carry your lunch in style (and keep it cool) with this cupcake cooler from Meijer.
While perusing through Target today I was so excited to see something I have never seen before. This adorable cupcake helmet is only $22! I love all the lollipops, candy and cupcakes but the best part has to be the cherry on top! It is available in most stores and online. Too bad it is made for kids ages 8 and up because I would totally wear this!
I have come to count on Walmart to have a few cupcake products every time I go in the store. I was excited to find the cupcake cups shown above for only $0.97 in the party section. They also had robots if you are looking for favors for girls and boys.
Walmart’s Hallmark Card section had several cupcake items including the cupcake gift bag shown above. The bag came in three different sizes, the middle size cost $2.97. There was also a pack of glitter cupcake stickers, shown to the right, that would make fun party favors or an easy gift if you include them with a birthday card.
Do you know who McKenna, Emily, Rebecca and Addy are? If you said yes, then you must have an American Girl doll in your home! My little one is in love with these dolls and all their clothes and fun accessories. And they have cupcake stuff too! I love this cupcake pajama set and may have to add it to my girl’s birthday list. This whole set is just $24. You can also purchase matching girl’s cupcake slippers for $22! Wonder if I could squeeze into a girl’s XL…
Check out these Shaun the Sheep cupcakes from Calyx Cake & Pastry! Impressive!
I don’t know if I could handle the constant hunger cues, but these wall stickers would look cute in a child’s bedroom or kitchen. A set of 12 is only $10 on Amazon! The cupcakes measure: 6 – 3.25″ x 6 – 1.75″. And you can move them without damaging the stickers or the walls, so there’s no major commitment involved!
As if kids don’t get excited enough about cupcakes, this brave baker covered hers in Pop Rocks!
The kids will go crazy! (Just don’t let them wash it down with Coke.)
Reading CandidCupcakes post about s’more cupcakes got me thinking about the orange grilled cupcakes I blogged last summer. I started wondering if there were any recipes or ideas on how to bake a cupcake over a campfire. After looking around I found an Ohio 4-H camp activity lesson plan. The lesson plan is part of the outdoor cooking session under the cooking with foil portion. In this session campers learn about cooking with conduction by experimenting with cupcakes. The directions read like a science experiment where you are supposed to brainstorm and plan your methods first then attempt baking the cupcakes inside fruit bases wrapped in foil. Similar to the orange grilled cupcakes but instead of a grill you use a bed of coals or the embers of a wood fire. Any brave camp counselors or parents willing to try grilled cupcakes this summer? Just check out the Ohio 4-H website for the PDF with the directions.
Have you ever been inside a Tuesday Morning store? I went to one this week to buy my dad’s Father’s Day gift and found this cupcake pouf on sale for $39.99. They have tons of other great items like a Duff Goldman cake pan set so if you have a store near you check it out!
With the school year winding down to an end, many of us are looking for that perfect teacher gift. Take a look at this way adorable Cupcake Teacher’s Ornament by All Things Cupcake sponsor, Amy Miller Designs. I know it isn’t Christmas but stay with me! How perfect would this cupcake look with a bookstore or bakery gift card attached to it? As a former teacher, I can honestly say I would love it! And to top it off, Amy Miller Designs, will personalize this cupcake for your favorite teacher. To cool for school!
Sometimes I think a particular event just don’t have a cupcake to go with it. But then I find out I am wrong. As evinced by these gorgeous First Communion cupcakes from Cordel de Sabores’ Flickr photostream.
Summer is rapidly approaching and staying outside late, playing with neighborhood friends, is one of my fondest memories of childhood summers. As kids we would catch fireflies and these glowing cupcakes remind me of the firefly’s glow. I know that Food Snots originally made these cupcakes for Halloween and there a great idea to store away for the fall but I think these cupcakes would be fun to make on a summer night. Tonic Water and neon food coloring are among the ingredients used to make these cupcake’s frosting glows!
Well it doesn’t get much cuter than giant panda cupcakes. (The pandas are giant, not the cupcakes.) But don’t eat them–they’re endangered!
I love this idea! Make some cute cupcakes with ingredients you probably already have kicking around! Check out Jasminwoo’s Flickr stream for other cool stuff (like Hello Kitty poptarts–what?!).
These lego cupcakes aren’t as involved as some we’ve seen, but they are pretty darn cute and would make many little boys I know very happy. And what little boy doesn’t adore Thomas and his friends? These cute creations are from Little Robin Cake Studio of Wodonga, Victoria in Australia. You can also visit their Facebook page.
Target has kids sized cupcake flip flops in their dollar bin section! Perfect for wearing to the pool or beach this summer, and a great price for growing kids!
My kids love Backyardigans. So I was happy to spot these Backyardigan Cupcake Rings from Zoomparty. A set of 12 costs $3.29, and makes for a super quick way to make your kiddo’s cupcakes extra special. Zoomparty carries an entire of line of Backyardigan–themed party items, so, if you are ambitious, you could create an entire Backyardigans experience!
Here’s a quick but clever cupcake idea for the Star Wars fan in your life!
Lately I have seen gummy candy in various shapes, I even bought a friend butterfly gummies but I have yet to see cupcake gummies in a store near me. I managed to find blue cupcake gummies online on Crystals Rose Cottage Chic. For $6.00 you can order a dozen cupcake gummies to use as party favors or cupcake toppers. I think any kid would love to sink their teeth into a cupcake gummy!
I have been cautioned by friends in regards to purchasing food from websites with caution so you might want to check with the website owner on their food safety practices before finalizing your purchase.
I just found a new toy! Duff food color pens! I found these pens, which act much more like markers, at Michaels for about $9. They are fun and easy to use, and great for kids’ decorating. But first, I used them to personalize these fondant-topped cupcakes for my friend’s birthday!
It is no secret that I love Etsy! I have been buying and selling on there for quite a few years and it has turned into a wonderful marketplace to find unique handmade crafts as well as antiques.
Check out these amazing polymer clay cupcakes made by Etsy crafter and ATC sponsor, CuteNSweetCafe. For only $13 you can design your own cupcake charm and add a scent too! Yes, this charm can smell like a cupcake or one of over 50 other scents. You can also choose your base color, icing flavor and toppings. You can truly make this cupcake your own!
I recently saw this fun display of cupcake necklaces and was excited to find the cupcake shaped gift box and necklace available on Amazon. Even better, the necklaces from Amazon by Cupcake Cuties are half the price of the retail store I originally saw it in. All the necklace pendants are the same but the cupcake shaped boxes are different. The color options include green, purple, pink, or blue on top and yellow or brown for the base.
