Mother’s Day Cupcakes
Every time I pass these beautiful flower cupcakes by flickr user Windy Sydney I want to attempt to make fondant flowers. Aren’t they gorgeous? She made them for her mom last mother’s day.
What are you planning to give your mom for mother’s day?
Remember, cupcakes make a fabulous gift!
Sunflower Cupcake
I’m in the mood for some spring and summer cupcake decorating ideas. How about this pretty sunflower cupcake! Don’t you think it would be a wonderful idea for Mother’s Day cupcakes?

Friday Flickr Feature – Sweet Elegance Cupcakes
I just love our Utah Loves Cupcakes flickr group pool. There are so many great flavor and decorating ideas! It also gives me a chance to see what’s going on with Utah’s local cupcake bakeries and to see what Utah Cupcake lovers are making in their own homes … all without having to email anyone or go to a Web site. It’s VERY convenient for me to say the least.
Today I want to do a flickr feature on Sweet Elegance Cupcakes in Logan. They are a custom cake and cupcake company based in Logan, Utah. Oh and just so you know Misty, the owner, also teaches cake and cupcake decorating classes! Check out this post!

Happy New Year – 2010
Happy New Year, my cupcake friends!
I searched through the Utah Loves Cupcakes flickr pool this morning for the perfect “New Year” Cupcake…and I found this. The photo is from group member DisneyChick, it’s titled “What to wish for?”
I thought it appropriate for 2010. So ask your self this question in cupcake context or anything else!
I wish you all a wonderful, prosperous and happy new year!

Utah Loves Cupcakes – St. Patrick’s Day Roundup!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
The luck of the Irish has hit Utah’s cupcakes…so here we go!
Newcomer CutsieCakes starts us out with a kick. A little Guinness in the batter!
She’s offering two March specials: the Guinness Cake: a dark decadent chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, resembling the frothy top of the famous pint.
The second is the Irish Cream: A moist yellow cake flavored with Bailey’s Irish Cream and topped with a dollop of sweet cream and slivered almonds.
Mini’s is featuring a few different kinds: Guinness cupcake with a dark chocolate and Guinness glaze, an Irish cream and coffee cupcake, it is a vanilla cake soaked in Irish cream, espresso, and whiskey with fresh whipped cream flavored with Irish cream dusted with coffee. We will also have some cute “out of gold” cupcakes for the kids.
Cupcake Chic has been making all sorts of St. Patty’s cupcakes. Above is a chocolate with mint buttercream I also tried the dark chocoalte with irish cream frosting yesterday at The Coffee Pod ..I want another one right NOW!
More from Cupcake Chic: chocolate with mocha frosting
Cravings pumped out these yummy green vanilla cupcakes with a green twist of buttercream frosting topped with a chocolate clover.
I love this tint of this green frosting by Cupcakes by Les. They are $2.50 each. Notice the cute cupcake candy on top of the first row…more on that later!
We’ve struck gold with these cupcakes made by the better half (you know I’m joking Nathan) of blogger Talkaholics Anonymous made these cupcakes. I’ve personally tried her cupcakes and they are so good! Thanks Krystal!
I think I could eat my weight in frosting over at the Primrose Retreat. Look how yummy and beautiful their cupcakes are and that gorgeou frosting…ahh!
The specialty flavor is Bailey’s and Cream. They are offering our Paddy’s Day six pack, six over stuffed cup cakes for $13.00.
Last but definately not least is Provo’s Sweet Tooth Fairy. This cupcake pictured above was a custom-made one but she’ll have an Irish Cream, Green Velvet and other fun green treats!
Hope you are wearing green and I hope you eat a cupcake today!
(If I left yours out email me and I’ll include it! Thanks!)

Huckleberry Bliss
I’d like to try these huckleberry bliss cupcakes by Layton’s CutsieCakes! They’re described as a moist chocolate cake infused with huckleberry syrup then topped with a fresh huckleberry glaze . At the moment, Cutsie Cakes is an out-of-home custom cupcake business but they should be opening their doors (in Layton) come late summer!
RED HOT: Vegas Baby Cupcake!
This is currently my favorite cupcake at Les Madeleines. It’s their Vegas Baby - a classic vanilla cupcake with red hots in the middle. The frosting is a cream cheese ( I believe) with real white chocolate sprinkles. Isn’t it such a festive Valentine’s cupcake?
tiramisu cupcakes for non-coffee drinkers
Check out Baking Becca’s latest Iron Cupcake entry:
Sponge cake cupcakes brushed with Pero and rum extract, layered with mascarpone custard and whipped cream and sprinkled with cocoa.
I just love the chocolate lettering on top!
