Westie Cupcakes

Posted by on Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

I’m not sure which I love more–dogs or cupcakes. That’s why I’m quite so taken by these adorable “Westie Cupcakes” (Westie being a nickname for West Highland White Terrier) from Angelina Cupcake of Towcester, Northamptonshire. Almost too cute to eat! I recently participated in an adoption expo for our local animal shelter, and I wish I’d thought to bring along a batch of these! They would’ve found forever homes for sure!

Make Healthy Dog Cupcakes

Posted by on Saturday, July 21st, 2012

I noticed this Pamper Your Dog, Scientific Explorer kit while on a recent trip to Barnes and Noble.  For $19.95 you can make healthy cupcakes for your dog and then make tooth paste to brush your dog’s teeth! After the doggy Sprinkles cupcake our dog had in January I’m sure he’d love it if I made cupcakes for him!

Sprinkles Dog Cupcakes

Posted by on Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Just the other day I blogged about how we spoil our dog and how you can find some fun cupcake treats at Petco.  Today our dog got a special surprise, dog cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes!  Upon returning home from a business trip in Dallas, Texas my dad presented me with half a dozen cupcakes for me and a small bag.  The bag had two mini cupcakes with fondant bones on top for our dog! The doggie cupcakes cost $2.50 each and are sugar free cupcakes topped with yogurt “frosting.” Read the rest of this entry »

Swing Design Cupcake Pet Charms

Posted by on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

I don’t think my giant, slobbering bloodhound would appreciate this adornment, but if you’ve got one of those clean, cute, little, foo foo pups, you might want to check it out. What discerning foo foo creature wouldn’t want a rhinestone around her neck? And at Swing Design, a cupcake pup charm is only $5.25!

Dogs love cupcakes too!

Posted by on Monday, March 28th, 2011

Just because your adorable pooch can’t have the real deal, there is no reason why you cannot purchase a doggy cupcake just for them!

Introducing Rooney, a three year old Boston Terrier, who totally adores his treats!  In fact Rooney will do just about anything for a treat, so what started off as trick to balance dog treats on her nose has now developed into this spectacular talent of balancing cupcakes! Unfortunately though, there are no cupcake treats for dogs, well not that I know of, so Maria (Rooney’s owner) introduced plush fabric cupcakes!  The only shame is that they fail to last very long!

Rooney is also the inspiration behind Maria’s new cupcake business RooneyGirl Bakeshop!

Sylvia Cupcakes

Posted by on Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Cupcakes go with everything, including the theatre.  Sylvia is a comedic play about a dog and the quarrelsome couple who adopts her.  It is written by A.R. Gurney and was first performed in 1995 at the Manhattan Theatre Club.  Sarah Jessica Parker played the part of Sylvia.  That’s right — the dog. 

The play is still popular in theatres all over the country, and Mariel, an ATC reader, just submitted this fabulous photo of her Sylvia cupcakes, which she made to celebrate a production near her!

She cut the pawprints out of colored gumpaste, then rolled white gumpaste into little balls, which she flattened and attached with royal icing.  To make the “dogtags,” she tied scrapbook adornments into a bow, and then cut one side of the bow!  Isn’t she clever?   Thanks for sharing, Mariel!

 

Cupcake princess, mouse and kitten

Posted by on Friday, September 3rd, 2010

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.

Cupcake Day Australia

Posted by on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

The cupcake craze, which has resulted in new cupcakeries springing up in each major city of America, has not quite yet invaded Australia. However we are not to be excluded entirely, as our love of cupcakes is equally as strong, so much so that we have declared August 16th as the national day of cupcakes!

National Cupcake Day is a fundraiser for the RSPCA, and encourages the involvement of companies and individuals around Australia to raise money by throwing a cupcake party.

These funds go to support the important work of the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).  The RSPCA provide an ongoing service to step in and defend mistreated animals, find new homes for abandoned animals and generally be the voice for our furry, feathered and scaly friends.

Last year 350,000 cupcakes were baked around the country and over $1.1 million Australian dollars was raised. This year they have set the target at $2.5 million and need your help in reaching it.

If you are in Australia, get involved by registering a team or as an individual and scheduling your party. Let us know about your entry so that we can support you. If you are not in Australia you can still get involved by making a donation or voting for your favorite cupcake.

Really, Really Big Cupcake Liners from Beerd Van Stokkum

Posted by on Saturday, July 10th, 2010

You’ve got to see it to believe it! 

“Sweet Cake” as one is called, is a gift for anyone who loves a fun, yet practical design.  Or for someone who loves cupcakes, of course.  Not only are they versatile in use, but they also come in 10 different colors. 

Dutch product designer Beerd Van Stokkum says the giant cupcake liners can be used as a sandbox, baby bath, planter, or dog bed, but really, the options are probably endless.    A”Sweet Cake” measures approximately 11×28 inches and costs € 149 or $225.

Cupcakes for your pooch!

Posted by on Monday, June 7th, 2010

From a small town in Brisbane, Australia, Westside News brings us the story of Emma Lulham who is baking up a storm!

However there is a difference about her treats, they are not for us two legged humans, but for our four legged friends.  Her company ‘Sweet Chops‘ is a small outfit dedicated to creating gourmet treats especially for spoiled dogs. And it is not limited to cupcakes! Emma also stocks a range of dog ‘lollipups’ and personalized birthday cakes.

All of her treats use natural ingredients, no sugar or preservatives and the treat decorations are made with carob or yoghurt, instead of chocolate.  Healthy and delicious! – for dogs!

Emma’s latest addition are paw shaped carob treats called ‘Box O’ Choco Licks’!  I am sure Noogie, her labrador and gourmet taste tester, is quite the envy of all his doggy neighbours!

2009 Halloween Cupcake Reader Submissions – Part 2

Posted by on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

It isn’t the materials that make a memorable costume,
it is the imagination and soul!

I got cupcake necklace & resin cupcakes at Etsy & glued to sunglasses. Made my hat myself out of styrofoam. I also make the dogs costumes myself also out of styrofoam & lampshades. The real looking cupcakes I made out of insulating foam in a can. – Lisa from Huntington Beach CA (more pics)

Thanks for the inspiration!  I finally got to the fabric store and rigged up this cupcake costume for my adorable niece.  There’s a pink headband with a cherry on top; we’ll see if she actually manages to keep that on for trick-or-treating. – Laura

What happens is you give a cat a cupcake? I don’t know and if you dont know you can read what will happen in the book by Laura Numeroff, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake

117913e

She also wrote If You Give a Moose a Muffin (almost like a cupcake)  & If You Give a Pig and Pancake … and the one that I have read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

All this talk of muffin, cookies and pancakes is making me hungry!

Cupcakes Go to the Dogs

Posted by on Friday, September 18th, 2009

I must admit that I am not really a dog person. However, after seeing these cute Etsy finds for your pooch, I’ve begun to miss the little pug I had as a child. He was a chubby little guy named Riggins (after John Riggins for any Redskins fans out there!) and I bet he would have worn this:

  Make sure you don’t mix these up with your own cupcakes!  Gourmet Pupcakes by DivaDogBakery 4 for $5

 Why not dress your dogs in cupcakes? They appreciate style too! Cute as a Cupcake Harness by SophiesThreads $24

 

There were so many dog items on Etsy that it would be impossible to post them all!  So many leashes, collars and outfits.  If you buy something for your puppy make sure to send us a photo!

Cupcake Pet Bed by Fluff

Posted by on Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I wish they made this for adults. I featured this back in January of 2008 but I just have to share this again. I LOVE THIS.

The Cupcake Pet Bed by Fluff. $85.00 but so worth it.

When it’s nap time your doggy will be in the lap of luxury in this ultra comfy bed.

Fluff is a line of super cute, and ultra sassy stuff created by artist, Claudette Barjoud. Her designs are inspired by an eclectic mix of vintage pinup, Art Nouveau, Mid Century Modernism and international ad graphics. The idea behind Fluff was to create fun frivolities that were sassy, cute and chic all rolled into one. Fluff is like a candy store with many flavors to suit every taste of sweet.
