Cupcake Allure

Is it just me, or do CUPCAKES seem to be making a big comeback?  It seems that the Web is spilling over in delicious cupcake mania, especially with all the blogs about luxury cupcakes.  If you haven't been aware of this trend, go type "cupcake blog" in a search engine and you'll see what I mean.

Personally, I've had MAJOR cupcake cravings during pregnancy.  Not necessarily cake, but CUPcakes!  I think it has something to do with childhood memories and thus tapping into the cycle of life.  Or maybe just because they are so darn cute. 

Here's my own little Cupcake Girl (click to view in Full Size in my Gallery). The pattern for the body pieces is from Sandra Evertson's book, Fanciful Paper Projects.

Maybe if I make art about cupcakes, I won't be eating them! Smile

Hi Marney -- You're absolutely right about cupcake's being all the rage right now!  My daughter knew that and has been having a blast making all kinds of designer cupcakes lately, look out diet!  I just added my latest cupcake-related item to my gallery if you want to check it out at Harqn2 -- it's the Creativi-Tea Bag and has a cupcake named desire on the tag!  Go Cupcakes!!!  Hurray for Cupcake Art!

MMMM! they are delicious. There is something about them that the most beautiful cake doesn't have and I happen to know something about baking since I graduated from a culinary school in Pastries. But to keep the waistsize small i'll take cupcake art.

They are and I think they are deserving. Little packages of yumminess. Portable, pretty, and delicious. Who could ask for more? :)

I'm a vegan and one of the most popular books out right now is called "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World". I really think they are. hee hee hee
