My daughter is three and a half, and has reached the stage where she “needs” a band-aid for everything. Stubs her toe, needs a band-aid. Bumps her head, demands a band-aid. So I am NOT buying her these clever bandages because the entire package wouldn’t last a day.

But maybe you’ll have better luck with your daughter. These cute first aid supplies can be found at Amazon for $3.33.

One of readers Traci recently sent in photos of her daughter’s first birthday party and she took their chosen theme ‘cupcakes’ to the extreme!  Traci indicated that All Things Cupcake provided much of her inspiration, but I have to say she has provided me with all the inspiration I need to organize my daughter’s 6th birthday party next year.  Megan has been longing for a cupcake party, and there is no way you can get more cupcakey than this!

The first photo is of their create a cupcake stand!  This would be great fun for all children allowing them to frost and then decorate their cupcakes.  The awesome little cupcake containers were from the Posh Box on Etsy allowing the guests to take their creations home!  And with a bit of ribbon and some buttons, Traci made them so much fun!

Anthropologie is without a doubt one of my favorite stores.  I love these Clothbound Penguin Classics For Children.  According to the website’s description, “the revered books of childhood and adolescence are now bound in a brightly colored, smartly embossed canvas covers to add that much more excitement to their enduring stories”

There are six books available, each costing $16.99.  The one cupcake lovers will be most tempted to buy is Anne of Green Gables which has a pink cover with cupcakes, ribbons, butterflies, teapots and teacups.

Calling all moms! Who can resist a children’s boardbook that compares a baby’s sweetness to our other favorite sweetness?

I am excited to learn that Amy Sklansky has a new children’s book coming out! You Are My Little Cupcake is illustrated by Talitha Shipman and will be published by LB Kids.

Oh and I love her vomiting pumpkin cake!  Tis sensational!

It’s that time of year when the catalogs arrive daily.  One of the catalogs that came this week was Mindare: brainy toys for kids of all ages. I noticed two cupcake related items; Tasty Science allows you to satisfy your sweet tooth in the name of science! With this kit that costs $19.95, you explore the principles of chemistry through baking cupcakes, cookies, candy and more.

A second cupcake related item is called Cook It In A Cup.  For $16.95 you receive six nonstick silicone baking cups and 29 recipes for individually sized treats.

The recent movie Despicable Me was all the rage here in the last school holidays and it was hard for anyone in our family not to absolutely adore it.  I totally loved the little girls Margo, Edith and Agnes, and Gru was fantastic in his evil lovable way!  But for the kids, the best thing of all was of course the clumsy, funny and always hard working Minions that won their hearts!

So what to create for a kids birthday party?  Well why not a super cool birthday cake of one of the girls, and surround it with many many Minion cupcakes!

Cococake Cupcakes did just that recently for one of their customers, and I adored how they came out!

Is this for the kids or me? 

This “too cute to be true” cupcake maker bakes 6 cupcakes in 10 minutes!  This tiny oven is available in pastel pink or blue and can be found at Target for $49.99.  Is this the perfect gift for that cupcake lover who has everything?

The November 2010 catalog for J.Crew’s kid line, Crew Cuts, not only features kids in ridiculously stylish clothes but also kids with a sweet tooth! There are additional images on the Crew Cuts site where kids and cupcakes conform to spell out the letters of Crew Cuts (hop over to the site if you’re not sure what I mean)!

J.Crew must really love cupcakes since in August we shared with you images from The Romantics photo shoot where the cast enjoyed cupcakes.

The Disney Store knows little girls love three things, pink, cupcakes, and minnie mouse.  When you combine all three you get Cupcake Minnie Mouse underwear! The five pack of 100% cotton underwear which, costs $16.50, is available in two sizes, 2/3 or 4/5

Momiji dolls are adorable little message dolls that are categorized into little collections.  Each doll has a cut out hole in the bottom and a card inside the hole for writing a little personalized note.  While looking around on the Momiji site I noticed that they have a few fun cupcake related items.  There are two Momiji dolls that have cupcakes on them.  Each of the dolls are pixies, one is from the vintage collection and the other from the random collection.  Once is blond haired and wearing a pink dress while holding a yellow cupcake while the other has a cherry theme.

While running the other day I passes a father and daughter biking.  I noticed the little girl’s biking shirt had a cupcake on it. The shirt was by Sugoi and it has a cupcake images on the front and back in addition to three pockets on the back.  There is also a cupcake recipe inside the pocket!  I found the shirt on two websites, Bike Nashbar for $29.99 or Sun Rise Cyclery where it costs $34.99.

This week I received a lovely gift in the mail that I had to share with all of you.  These adorable vanilla scented cupcake candle are made byLimor Yaron and are available in these popular colors:

How perfect would this be for a cupcake birthday party for your little one?!  Although it was difficult for me, I did decide to burn it to see if the smell lasted.  I am very happy to say that it did!  And even when the top part burned down, the cupcake was just as cute and sweet smelling and continued to burn for several hours.  Limor Yaron’s  items can be purchased at  Etsy shop or visit New York’s MoMA stores for all her other candles and wares.

My great friend Anne just shared this awesome cake she ordered from her Target bakery for her son’s seventh birthday.  The party had a mad science theme and the beaker pull-apart cupcake cake was a perfect fit.  This would be a great cake to make for a Halloween party too.   I wish my local Target had a bakery!

Happy Birthday Avery!

My wonderful sister-in-law, Holly, called my this week to excitedly tell me about this new adult cupcake costume she found in Costume Express.  How awesome is this at only $46.99?!  I think it’s more of a sexy cupcake costume  and you might need to wear a little something underneath or you might reveal more than you planned!

   They also had a child’s version for $34.99.  Both are brand new and aren’t available until September 22nd.   

I also found this adorable cupcake candy bag and costume from Pottery Barn.  The costume is $59 and the matching bag is only $14.  So stinkin’ cute!

So what are your sweet (or spooky!) costume plans this year?

I so just had to share this most adorable few cupcakes with you.  Sometimes I like to cruise Flickr or Cake Central looking for cupcake ideas and inspiration, and I was doing that over at Cake Central today with their 2009 FairyTale Contest when all of a sudden I found this absolutely amazing cupcake in amongst all those big cakes.  The kitten and mouse are priceless!  Well done to Niknips Cakes who created them.

This week marks one year since I began working with All Things Cupcake and I have to say, I love my job!  I get to write about cupcakes, give away cupcake stuff and talk to cupcake obsessed people just like me on a daily basis.  In my very first post for ATC, I shared some Etsy cupcake items that our kiddos (our ourselves) could use on their first days back to school.  So I thought, what better way to mark my one year anniversary than to update that post!   Here are some wonderful back to school essentials I found this year:

Cupcake Backpack $25.00

Cupcake Paperclips $6.00

 

 

Cupcake Pencil Pouch $8.00

 

 Here’s to another wonderful year with ATC!

Boys between the ages of 10 and 14 can be really difficult when it comes to selecting a cupcake design.  Basically cupcakes are girly, and they, of course, are manly, so you need something that they can relate too.  Ben 10, dinosaurs and matchbox cars are things of the past, but they are not quite at that stage where everything ‘food’ especially if it contains sugar, grease or both is desirable regardless of how it looks!

So coming up with ideas can be difficult.  The best method is to look for things they are into, and this includes the games they play on their x-box or computer.  These cupcakes above come from Sugar-Design and are perfect for a boy anywhere between the ages of 7 and 12, however you could make them for older boys too, using logos such as Starcraft 2 or COD. Another seven ideas are:

Melissa and Doug obviously love cupcakes since we have shared with you before their bake and decorate cupcake set.  With beach season not quite over yet there is still time to get use out of their Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Kit.  The 12 piece set which costs $14.99 includes a cupcake sand mold, a baking tray with liners, cupcake toppers and an icing tool.  The twelfth piece, which is the part I liked the most, is the mesh bag included for storing the set.  There is nothing worse than losing toys at the beach!
