Cupcakes-They’re Not Just for Eating!

by mb on 05/07/2009

I love cupcakes-I guess that’s obvious.  Cupcakes represent more to me than just a delicious orb of tastiness!  They represent innocence-the kind you see when a little child smiles from ear to ear when you give them a cupcake.  They are like a giant loop of family show reruns from the 50s and 60s.  I’ll bet Leave it to Beaver had cupcakes on the set and June just loved baking and decorating them while wearing pearls, high heels and an apron.

I wish I could say that even ONE of these lovely creations is mine, but alas they are the creations of wonderful, talented crafters from all across the internet.  Each photo has the link to the creator’s site/blog embedded in the larger photos below {not the gallery images-I couldn’t figure out how to do that}.  Be sure to visit these links for more inspiration of not just cupcake stuff-but a plethora of great ideas.  That being said, I bring you cupcakes from around the net-some to eat-some not to eat but all to enjoy!

Oh my gosh, how cute are those apple cupcakes?

What is it about cubcakes? I always wondered. It’s true it has to do with innocence, just pure innocent joy, for some reason. I guess we just respond to cuteness that way. And they are cute, super cute.

Oh thank you so much for the pictures and link for the cupcake plantings, those are my new favorite teacher/hostess gift. LOVE it.

I made cupcakes for the first time in years last week and everybody loved them. Something about a cupcake….

I love (with extra big poofy hearts) cupcakes as well!! They are so nostalgic! I do not make them a whole lot, but I enjoy splurging once in while at a fancy bakery and getting a really pretty cupcake! I do make some cupcake tassels as well. They are always a hit!! I recently found some cupcakes that rescemble the cream filled cupcake picture you have. I’ll be making some tassels from those in the summer! You should check them ou!
Happy Mother’s Day!!

The Superkid cupckaes are SO COOL!!! I want one… or three or five!!! :-)

I think what’s so appealing about cupcakes is that you get to have your very own little personal cake — you can eat the whole thing yourself and not feel guilty at all :-)

I love cupcakes! There is just something about them that is so wonderful! Maybe the best part is no over feels like they have to share one!

I love cupcakes! Love! Did I say love?!
Even better when they’re just fun foody items.
The apple cupcakes are adorable. I was planning on making
“dirt cupcakes” (choc. frosting, crushed oreos, gummi worms) for my daughters class next week on her birthday. Now I just don’t know. Those apple ones are speaking to me.
Thanks for sharing.

This is adorable! I thought that felt one was real.

What a great post! I have to try the cupcake planters…too cool! I can’t get enough cupcake info! I made a cupcake out of diapers and a baby blanket one time. LOL

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

What a fun post! I love cupcakes, who doesn’t really :) I love fancy decorated cupcakes, but never make them myself. My mother-in-law gave me an adorable cupcake book recently with tons of recipes and decorating ideas, haven’t tried any yet but love looking at the pictures! These were great to see!
