valentine's day Conversation heart valentine's day cupcakes, plus pumpkin pie, film festival and pretty flowers by Mon Petite Cupcake

These cupcakes are all from the Facebook page of Minnesota custom cupcake company Mon Petit Cupcake. Yes, expect to see lots of hearts in the days leading up to valentine's day ! The pumpkin pie ones look adorable...and one of the great things, in my opinion, about custom cupcake companies is that if you see something you like, you can have them make it (or something like it) for you. They can be reached at monpetitcupcake at yahoo.com and their cupcakes can also be found at:

Bluff Country Co-op 121 W. 2nd St. in Winona, Minnesota and Good Food Store, 1001 6th St NW, in Rochester, Minnesota.

valentine's day Poinsettia cupcakes

I had the honor of meeting Lora from the food blog Diary of a Mad Hausfrau in New York at the Bakerella book signing, followed by an adventure at Magnolia Bakery in Grand Central where my iPhone got stolen (still have to blog about that!). I was so honored to meet her and think that one of the best things about running this blog is getting to meet so many fun cupcake lovers from around the world.

So direct from Germany, here are some of her poinsettia cupcakes - click through to see them all! You can also follow her @ofamadhausfrau on Twitter.



Lora writes:

The shapes I cut out freehand using a knife and then used it to create the indentations on the leaves and petals. I used 4 green leaves and 6 petals for each of the Poinsettias, pressing then together in the middle. Using the yellow fondant, I rolled a few tiny balls and pressed them n the middle.

I glittered them with red, green and gold disco and hologram dusts by dipping a small paintbrush into vodka and brushing on the glitter.

Every other cupcake was adorned with a fondant poinsettia. I swirled the frosting on the non flowered ones and once the icing hardened a bit, brushed on gold hologram dust.
