These cupcakes are adorable! I could totally see this at a shower of some sort!

Pretty Little Things

Bake it Pretty is more than pretty, it’s b-e-a-u-tiful!

Housemartin featured these darling little rays of sunshine back in June and I have been waiting to feature them ever since.

Each cupcake liner has its own personality.  They are so unique and fun!

Is anyone else like me?  Whenever I buy cupcake liners that I love, I never want to use them! I would rather admire them from afar.

This looks like double trouble to me! Cheryl Porro of the previous Cupcake Bakeshop was also the organizer of the cupcake meet-up group that I used to belong to in San Francisco.  Her cupcakes are not only absolutely delicious but so beautiful.

Thanks, Cheryl!

DIY Carnival Fun!

I know dessert and candy buffets are all the rage lately so why not customize those desserts to fit your wedding theme!

These Carnival Theme Cupcakes are just too adorable!

All it takes is visiting your local craft store and visiting the scrapbook aisle!

Many of you are familiar with decorative cutouts that can be purchased to customized scrapbooks. With the wide range of styles and themes that can be found, it will make it easy for you find exactly what you want.  Simply attach the decorative cutout to a straw, wire or even lollipop stick and place it in the top of the cupcake!

Take a look how cute these cupcakes look with just a little bit of something extra.

Would you ever try something like this to “upgrade” your dessert buffet?

Bangerang Bake Shop Update!

I just spoke to Nicole from Bangerang Bake Shop and she wanted me to let everyone know that you if you order 100 cupcakes or more, you can receive awesome discounts on your order!

They have had a ton of brides use their cupcakes as favors.  They even have someone who makes beautiful custom tags that attach to the ribbon.  What a great way to personalize a gift.  I could also see this being a big hit on a dessert buffet!

Thanks for sharing, Nicole!

Bangerang!

I love the month of February, always have.  This month consists of my fiance’s birthday, valentine’s day and my birthday.  By the time all of the celebrating is done, it is practically March which means it’s one step closer to spring!

This year my mom sent us the coolest gift…Bangerang Bake Shop Cupcakes! http://www.bangerangbakeshop.com/ They were beautifully presented in mini mason jars (which I will use as an upcoming DIY project for the wedding.)  My favorite cupcake was the Chocolate Competition Cupcake.  It was absolutely wonderful! The cake was moist and the chocolate filling was more of a mousse then icing.

Many of you that know me know that I am a cupcake fanatic.  I follow “Cupcakes Take The Cake” Blog http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/ and was part of the San Francisco Cupcake Club.  Now that I live in Boston, I often think of starting up a Boston Cupcake Club.  Anyone interested?

Although I am over the cupcake wedding cake trend (totally overrated and too commercialized these days) I think this would be a great gift for a fun bridal shower, baby shower, a favor for your guests or arranged on a dessert buffet.

Here are some shots that I took of these luscious little treats.

Mmm
