Buffy Summers’ 30th Birthday Party

valentine's day Up inspired New Year's balloon cupcakes

How fun are these cupcakes, inspired by the movie Up and made by Sarah-Lyn at the blog i Bake Cupcakes (via Flickr)? She writes:

I love the animated movie UP and have wanted to make UP inspired cupcakes for a while now. New Years seemed like a great time to do them because the movie has such a wonderful inspiring message I think, perfect for the new year. Simply, live life with no regrets and appreciate the journey you've taken because every journey is grand in it's own way.

valentine's day Tron cupcakes by B Sweet Catering in Los Angeles!

I will freely admit to you that I hardly know what Tron is; I'm not saying I'm against it, maybe I'd like it, and I'm dimly aware that TRON: Legacy is about to be released.

But even though I'm not sure what "old school" and "new school" mean in relation to Tron, I do love cupcakes, and I'm sure some of you will be intrigued by these cupcakes by Los Angeles custom catering company B Sweet, who also have an extensive sandwich, food and other dessert offerings, along with cupcakes. They're based in downtown LA but deliver all over the Los Angeles area. These photos are all from their Flickr account, with a bonus non-Tron reindeer cupcake photo thrown in, because it was too cute to ignore!

valentine's day Steampunk vegan chocolate cupcakes with top hats, goggles, gears and Tootsie Roll modeling chocolate

Blogger Bakingdom made steampunk cupcakes with a top hat and goggles (!) for the holidays, using a vegan chocolate cupcake recipe and Tootsie Roll modeling chocolate. Visit Bakingdom for step-by-step instructions. Photos via Flickr.



From Bakingdom, which you really should check out to see these cupcakes in all their glory, and learn about the detail that went into making them:

I know it probably made sense to do something holiday themed, but I decided to make steampunk themed cupcakes, because...well...I wanted to! I love steampunk stuff, and there really aren't a whole lot of steampunk themed cupcakes out there, but also because the brown color wouldn't be much of a hindrance with them. I kept things relatively simple with just an adorable top hat and goggles, accented with little golden gears. Is it wrong of me to say that I freaking love how they turned out?! Seriously, I just think they're so cute! Plus, they were shockingly fast, once I figured out just what I wanted to do!

By the way, those perfectly steampunked cupcake cups came from (where else?) Bake It Pretty! I was a little worried at first that they would be too tough to get the cupcakes out of, but they peeled away beautifully (and in one piece)! Plus, you don't need a muffin pan to use them! Just space them evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, fill them with two tablespoons of your favorite cupcake or muffin batter, and bake normally! Aren't they the cutest?!
