Cupcakes

I made cupcakes for my friend Liz's birthday and had a couple left over. I couldn't help but put them on display. Any chance to use my cupcake stands.

Good chance to use my cupcake carriers too. Cupcakes to-go. Have cupcake, will travel.

Valentine's Cupcakes

I made cupcakes to take to the office for Valentine's Day. I saw the little candy arrow topper idea on Pinterest.

I even broke out the special paper cupcake liners!

Wegmans St. Patrick's Day Frog Cupcakes

It's time again for the Wegmans frog cupcakes. I still haven't figured out what the connection is between St. Patrick's Day and frogs, but the cupcakes are so good, it doesn't matter.

An entire swampful of frog cupcakes waiting to go home with someone!

Starbucks petite treats

Starbucks now has petite desserts.

Is Starbucks following my blog? Yes, I am a fan of all mini food. But look at these mini treats... I have mentioned most of these in just the past few weeks. Cake pops?! Salted Caramels?! Whoopie pies and mini cupcakes go way back!

NYC compasses & cupcakes

Tina and I are in NYC for work and i am loving these compasses that someone spraypainted at the exits of the subway stops. I am always discombobulated when I come out of the subway and can't tell which direction I need to go - these helps a lot.

They helped us find our way to Pomme Frites and Butterlane Cupcakes.

New cupcake spot - Dollop

There is a new cupcakery in town... Penfield to be specific. I got to try it out with Aprille, her mom and Joel on Saturday. Dollop is located in downtown Penfield. I like the shop's black and pink color scheme.

The cool thing about Dollop is you can choose your cake, your filling, a frosting and a topping. There are lots to choose from.

They dig a little hole out of the cake to add the filling. I want to know who is eating all the little cake plugs that are leftover?

Aprille got a chocolate cupcake with an oreo baked inside. She had it topped with peanut butter frosting and chocolate chips. A work of art!

I got a red velvet with marshmallow fluff filling and cream cheese frosting. It was very good.

Joel got red velvet cake also... but I can't remember what frosting this is. It's very pretty though!

When we stopped by they had just finished a big catering order so they were a little frazzled and there weren't many cake choices left... they were even out of vanilla, so I'll have to go back and try them again.

You can follow Dollop on Twitter and Facebook... I always like that!

Birthday Cupcakes

What a sweet birthday I had today, thanks to my friends, warm wishes on Facebook & Twitter and these cupcakes Shruti baked!

Butter Lane Cupcakes

I was in NYC for the day and Shruti and I stumbled upon Butter Lane Cupcakes. They were on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" so you know they must be good.

Yeah. They were tasty. You can pick chocolate, vanilla or banana cake and then lots of different kinds of frosting... caramel, strawberry, pistachio and more!

And they have cupcake classes!

Mini Frog Cupcakes

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!

Cupcakes in Vegas

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.

London highlights

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.

Sugar Mountain Bake Shoppe

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!

Ice Cream Cupcakes

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!

Froggy Cupcakes

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.

Cupcake Stand

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.

Cupcake Christmas tree ornaments

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.

Happy Birthday Tina!

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!

Mummy cupcakes

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.

Cupcake stand

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.
