Cupcakes

Has anyone been watching  the new show on TLC called DC Cupcakes? Or the cupcake challenges on  Food Network? K and I are completely hooked on both of them and think it would be so cool to own our own bakery....a lot of work, yes but so, so cool.  If I could I would open one in a second....or maybe Sophie and Katherine are looking to add to their staff and we can move to DC and work for them. I know, wishful thinking! It's not so much the eating of the cupcakes that would make me happy but the decorating and making them works of art. K said she'd take care of the eating part. :)

I was surfing around last night and look at how pretty these are...

 

Creation Cupcakes

Hello, Naomi

Wedding Bee
  
They really are works of art and I seriously would have a hard time biting into one of them!   

So since I won't be opening my own bakery or working in one anytime in the near future I thought I'd whip up some pretty paper cupcakes instead. Not nearly as pretty as the ones above but I did have fun making them.

 

I made a sheet of embellishments (they will be listed in my Etsy shop today) along with a coordinating card. I used the cupcake image from Papertrey Ink's Baby Button Bits and did a little papar piecing with the DeLovely collection from Cosmo Cricket. For my roses I used Raspberry Fizz felt and for the stems Martha Stewarts rose leaf punch.

 

I'm on a cupcake kick lately so I'll be sharing more of these soon! Have a wonderful day and thanks a ton for stopping by!

Your cupcakes embellies are so cute! Love those fun colors!

And those pictures-gorgeous! I've had a few cupcakes from that bakery in DC--so good! I haven't seen the show yet though.

Very cute cupcake embellies and card. My daughter and I love watching DC cupcakes and Cupcake Wars too! We have also been talking about opening a cupcake bakery as well. Having ran my own baking business before I know how much work goes into it so for now it is just a dream for us too.

Those Wedding Bee cupcakes are gorgeous. I don't think I could convince myself to bite into them. The card is darling.

Oh love those cupcakes would they taste as great as they look?
Your card is super love the colors!

I don't know... I think your cupcake embellishments come pretty close to the real thing! Perhaps you should contact cupcake shops and sell your cupcake cards there. I think you'd be a sweet success!

I've never seen such gogeous cupcakes! Great inspiration for your yummy card!

I love your creations so much and always enjoy receiving a post in my inbox! The cupcake are adorable!
Thanks so much for including the book list. I have read The Help and couldn't put it down! I am also currently reading Same Kind of Different As Me and it really has caused me to deal with a current life situation with forgiveness where I could easily be very bitter. I am very appreciative of you taking the time to write the titles down and I plan on working through the list!
Also, like your new pic!
