It's Wegmans St Patrick's Day frog cupcake time! And just when you thought they couldn't get any cuter, they made mini ones!

The container comes with three of the mini frogs.

I may have squealed out loud at the store when I saw them!

CES is over and I'm back from Vegas. I had a great time doing social media during the show.

I was especially excited to do a cupcake tweetup right in the Kodak booth. I have been dreaming of the day I could integrate cupcakes into my career and BINGO! Social media runs on sugar.

Today I was working and speaking at the 140 Conference in London. A highlight was meeting Stephen Fry. He is an accomplished actor, exceedingly bright and all around nice fellow. I especially like him in one of my favorite TV shows... Bones, but I didn't tell him that.

Getting cupcakes came in a close second on my list of London highlights.

Rochester now has a gourmet cupcake shop, Sugar Mountain Bake Shoppe and today was their grand opening.

They have almost 40 different flavors and they wlll rotate them throughout the month.

Cupcake heaven!

I liked the Peaches & Champagne, the Peanut Butter Chocolate and the Pistachio Lime.

Cupcakes to go!

Coldstone Creamery has cupcakes now! They are chocolate shells with fudge, a little bit of cake, ice cream and frosting. They come as Sweet Cream, Cake Batter Delux and Double Chocolate Devotion.

Here's the catch, you can't walk in and buy just one... they only come in packs of six. I haven't tried them yet. When I found them, we were heading to a movie and I couldn't eat six myself. If you go... take five friends with you!

It's almost St. Patrick's Day, so it's time for the froggy cupcakes at Wegmans.

Of course I had to get one. It's a yearly tradition.

Aaron got me two of these little glass stands for Christmas. Perfect for cupcake display!

The cupcake inside is from Starbucks. It wasn't in there for very long, I'll admit.

These are my new favorite Christmas tree decorations. CUPCAKES! They are so cool, they don't hang, they have clips on the bottom so they sit on the tree branches. Disgustingly cute! Blech!

Oh and they are from Martha! The Kmart collection.

Today is Tina's birthday and I threw a party for her at my house. Instead of a cake, I made birthday cupcakes.

I also made pink and black M&M favors.

It's not a party without party favors.

I used one of my sparkling, singing pop open flower birthday candles for the birthday girl to blow out.

Happy Birthday Tina!

I spotted these mummy cupcakes at Starry Nites Cafe. They are really cute for Halloween and don't look like they would be too hard to recreate.

I don't have an occasion coming up... no birthday or anniversary... but ohhhhh how I want this cupcake stand! What a perfect way to display and protect those single serving cupcakes I often buy. Mmmmm.

It's froggy cupcake time again at Wegmans.

I know there has been a lot of questioning as to whether these even count as cupcakes.

Okay not widespread controversy or anything....... okay so like one comment... but anyhow.

I think they do count as cupcakes. Take a look inside.

I chomped one open so you can see there is indeed cake inside with lots of pink frosting on top. Then green frosting is poured over the whole thing.

Yummy and cute.

We were supposed to get a lot of snow today so Aaron picked me up from work. We were driving along and almost home when I spied with my little eye something very curious. I yelled "Turn around and park!" I really did shout that and Aaron frantically pulled over as soon as he could. He wasn't even out of the truck and I was halfway down the sidewalk.

What I spotted was this. The warm glow of a brank spanky new bakery! I just love to see new businesses open downtown and I was thrilled that it was a bakery.

I rushed in and started taking pictures in between "I'll have some of these!" and "I'll take one of those!" Check out the goods! MINI CUPCAKES PEOPLE!!!

And single servings of WEDDING CAKE!!! BRILLIANT!!!

This is Nick and Bethany Soures, the owners.... who were very nice and accepting of my bizarre estatic behavior and even let me take a picture of them.

So the name of the new bakery is Goodness Cakes and by new I mean it opened a week ago! It's at 720 University Avenue, in what I think used to be the old police station (now houses a photo gallery too). Edibles and Starry Nite cafe are just a few doors down.

If you happen to stop by be sure to tell them the short crazy girl in the orange coat sent you.

I am no fan of Microsoft, but I am a fan of bunnies, cupcakes, pink stuff and Amy Sedaris. I was poking around Facebook when I hit this Microsoft ad with Amy Sedaris running Dusty Food Cupcakes with rabbits making cupcakes. I about passed out.

Bunnies with Chef hats are making cupcakes on a conveyer belt.

The bakery is pink with pastel colored decor. So cute. I was drooling over her vintage spice jars and mint green phone.

Clover the bunny shows Amy how to use Microsoft to organize her small business that is in disarray. At the end she goes skipping off to a rabbit convention in a bright pink dress. Wonderful! You can watch the video here.

She was pretty excited.

Someone asked what I use to carry my cupcakes. This is a very good question, because the transportation of cupcakes is a very serious matter.

I use a 24 count Pink Bialetti Cupcake Carrier.

I haven't lost a cupcake yet.

Last night I made red velvet cupcakes from a Sprinkles mix I got on sale at Williams Sonoma.

Wow, does that red stain everything.

I made a cream cheese frosting to go on top.

Note the silicone cupcake cups. Cute but tough to get off.

I was pretty excited to see Cupcakes Take the Cake post about cupcakes in Las Vegas. I love trying out cupcakes in different cities.

cupcake

Last month... before I went to Cleveland I put a call out for cupcake bakeries that I could check out. A couple folks emailed/commented that there weren't any there.

To the contrary, at the West Side Market I found Grandma Freda's cupcakes. There were strawberry, wedding cake vanilla, peanut butter cup and deep chocolate almond.

They were goooood. Lucky Clevelanders. Hopefully I will get a chance to see what cupcakes Las Vegasers enjoy. Or is it Las Vegasians?

Remember the silly feet silicone cupcake cups I posted about awhile ago? Now they have witch feet for Halloween! I saw monster feet at Target too, but I can't find them online.

And because Christmas now overlaps with Halloween, here are Santa feet too!

Since I was only in Boston for the weekend, most of the time was spent in the city. I will need a separate trip to explore all the great recommendations in the South End, Cambridge and Brookline.

I did make the most of the North End and one of the first places I hit was Lulu's Bake Shoppe .

The cupcakes pictured are red velvet, chocolate, smores and peanut butter. The vanilla with pink frosting didn't make it to the photo shoot intact.

I also checked out Johnny Cupcakes on Newbury Street, who, surprise, surprise... doesn't actually have cupcakes! That's okay... what I really wanted was a t-shirt.
