Are you a Gamer?

I haven't played these games in fifteen years- but how cool are these cupcakes? I would have to say that I would prefer eating light blue over black... but I was more of a pac man girl than Mario Bros. :)

Made by Naomi- check out her other work- she is amazing.

Land that I Love

The Blue and Gold banquet for the boy scouts is this evening- so my friend is working on a cupcake collection shaped like a flag. I wanted to show him this similar look from my cupcake book, Hello, Cupcake.

My New Idea

Ok- I really think I am on to something here. Check out my Elmo cupcakes for my son's birthday. No decorating, no nasty tasting frosting (pudding and cool whip instead)- no dark red food die- and it took me all of 20 minutes tops.

It's called hot glue on dum dums, with a cut up gift bag.

Cute huh?

Cupcakes of Catan

I am a big game fan. My current favorites are Ticket to Ride, Gang of Four, Quibbler, and- the classic- Settlers of Catan. My friend Michal (http://sleepymum.blogspot.com/) came across this one and sent it my way. Fun huh?

Cupcake Mosaics

What are cupcake mosaics? It's just a little idea that Marika and I came up with, where you take individually decorated cupcakes, and make a design or pattern. This mosaic was made with Williams Sonoma's scone pan. It makes super cute triangle cupcakes. I also added vanilla icing and white chocolate chips in a pattern. Try designing a cupcake mosaic of your own, and then submit it to me, I would love to post it!

Cupcake Mosaics

We love cupcake mosaics!

Marika created this one. The butterfly uses 22 full size cupcakes. Her Details are created with: mentos, "googly eyes", pipe cleaners, pink green and yellow frosting, and feathers. She wrapped a cookie sheet with wrapping paper for her tray. SO cute!!! What little girls wouldn't love a butterfly cupcake mosaic for her birthyday!
