I love giving cupcake-themed birthday gifts! Head on over to my personal baking blog, Project Domestication, to see the details of this fun cupcake birthday gift I gave my little sister! Read the post here!
While I was chilling in Beverly Hills and eating Sprinkles cupcakes last month. I picked up these cupcake earrings.
yes…they were found in the kids section of Juicy Couture. When I was asking some questions about them the sales girl said, “How old is the person they are for?” I said proudly “Oh? They are for me!” Seriously…this is a reoccurring thing for me. Don’t most people realize that a twenty-something can love cupcakes? Ignorance I tell you…ignorance.
OH, they also have a cupcake necklace, cupcake bracelet and cupcake hair band.
And, while we are talking about Juicy Couture.
Enjoy these adorable Juicy Couture cupcakes made by Kara of Kara’s Cupcakes and Kara’s Party Ideas.
I really believe that cupcakes make a wonderful gift. You’ve got PLENTY of options here in Utah. So buy or bake away!

Wendy Paul, author of 101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 minutes, appeared on Studio 5 last week. She showed everyone how to make and assemble a beautiful Valentine Cupcake Bouquet. This is a really adorable, pretty, easy and probably affordable idea for a valentine gift. Plus it’s edible! Go to the Studio 5 Web site to see the video on how to make a valentine cupcake, as well as get Wendy’s recipes for the cupcakes and frosting. I’ve pasted the directions to make the cupcake flower bouquet below.
Directions for Flower Bouquet
Ingredients:
* 1 basket or pot with 6″ radius
* 6″ floral foam ball
* Rock or brick to weigh down the basket
* Glue
* Craft sticks
* 6-8 cupcakes, frosted
* 6-8 mini cupcakes, frosted
* Assortment of silk or fresh flowers (optional)
* Floral moss (optional)
* Sharp paring knife
Method:
Place the brick or rock in the bottom of the basket or pot. Secure with glue if needed. Place 6″ foam ball and secure around the edges of pot with glue.
Begin placing craft sticks on a slight upwards angle, in a pattern, starting with the bottom and working your way up. Using the paring knife, slice a small incision in the bottom of your frosted and decorated cupcake. Place the cupcake gently on the craft stick and secure. Fill in spaces between cupcakes with flowers or floral moss. Repeat until all spaces have been filled.
*Hints- Do not use a heavy frosting or a lot of frosting, as the cupcakes will fall. Be sure to weigh down your basket or pot, so as you eat the cupcakes, it won’t tip over.

Cute cupcake clock found at The Sweet Tooth Fairy in Provo, Utah.
Our darling fun and spunky friend, Cuppie the Cupcake, has visited Utah. Yep that’s right the talented Jessie Oleson has painted Cuppie amidst Southern Utah’s arches! Here’s what she has to say in her cakespyshop about the original and adorable painting:
“Cakespy’s mission is to spread happiness and sweetness through the world through joyful little pastries. Why not add some sweetness to your life…or give a sweet gift to a loved one…by buying one of our original pen and ink / watercolor works? This painting is rendered on nice thick Bristol board and it comes framed in a 2.5 x 3.5 inch frame.
This time, Cuppie’s going on an adventure in Utah–checking out some of the gorgeous natural scenery!”
I don’t know about you guys, but I really need (not just want) to buy this! By the way, if you are not familiar with Cuppie the Cupcake and Jessie Oleson of Cakespy then you are missing out. Check out her blog and etsy shop NOW! {buy cuppie in Utah here}
Flirty Aprons added a new cupcake apron to their line–this one is called “Frosted Cupcake!” How cute, right? It will be replacing the Bite Sized cupcake apron (blogged here). It comes in a regular flirty apron size and a mini flirty apron size for little girls!
Hopefully we’ll see their cute, and original frosted cupcake design make it to the waist apron line! By the way, it looks like they are doing free shipping on all their orders right now…check out the Flirty Apron site.
