I used these cards today and it reminded me of a bunch of cute cupcake stuff that’s crossed my path recently. These are letterpress cards from Dingbat Press. If you’ve been following the site for a while, you’ll remember these she made for me a while back. I love letterpress. Love it. It’s so substantial and makes writing much more fun. Check out her site and you’ll find a ton of other gorgeous designs.

See this bag. It’s a camera bag that was offered to me by Tracy Joy Designs. She had one cupcake design left and gave it to me for the price of shipping. Now, I usually don’t like pattern stuff. I’m a solids kind of girl, but I thought what the heck… that’s a pretty good deal… and maybe I’ll do a giveaway with it or something.
It arrived the day before I went to Oklahoma to visit the Pioneer Woman and as it would happen, I needed a carry on bag for the flight. How convenient! It was perfect. Lots of pockets for lenses that I used for stuff and a long strap to hang over my shoulder so I could lug two other bags full of cake pop supplies.… Kinda smooshable so I could stuff it under the seat in front of me. Needless to say, I’m not using it for my camera and I’m not giving it away. It’s my new travel companion. (sorry)
And, here’s the best part – that I didn’t even notice until I was on the way home. The flap is removable. You can switch it up with different designs. Cute, huh! I don’t think this style is available in her store, but I bet you could do a special order. And if not, she has other cute bags.
Oh no. I was wrong. I just went to their site to get the link for you and it turns out they are closing shop. Serves me right for waiting so long to post this. But, the good news is they are having a BIG sale on all their remaining inventory. Maybe you can score a deal.
Now, control yourself. These are really adorable.
Heavy metal cupcake measuring spoons. Look at the inside and the handles. Eeeeeeeek! Keeeeeuuute!
Look at their bottoms. And look at the handles, they have tiny hearts on them.
My new friend, Pioneer Woman Cake Pop Demonstration Winner, and blogger… Starwoodgal, gave them to me. She found them at a charming little store in Arkansas called Signed Sealed Delivered. I looked on their site and couldn’t find them, so here’s another place
to get them.
Recognize these little guys? They’re from Cakespy. You know how much I love Cakespy and her L’il Cuppie character. I have several of her paintings and now I can spread the sweetness with these little cute note cards. She also has buttons, magnets and a bunch of fun paintings.
How could you be blue with this hanging around your neck. I bought this vintage necklace with plastic cupcake pendant recently from Very Happy Everything. They just got started on etsy, but have tons of cute necklaces. I’ll warn you, though. You need to have a little whimsy in your bones for some of the designs… like the Hammerhead sharks with bow ties. Oh, to be in their brain for a few minutes.
Crocheted cupcakes! A reader sent me these the other day. Hi Jackie from New York. How are you? Thank you so much for these and all the time it took to make them. I’ve never crocheted anything, so I have to say, I’m super-impressed.
Cupcake Pops! Nope. They’re actually cupcake soaps on sticks. LoveLeeSoaps gave me these. They look pretty real, huh? You should see some of the other stuff she makes. It’s all crazy cute! I promise.
I also found this in my pantry today. Sprinkles cupcake mix. Sprinkles was very thoughtful to start selling a mix version of their fabulous cupcakes at Williams-Sonoma. Especially since I have been waiting FOREVER for them to open a store anywhere within a day’s drive from me. I had the real things once, and I’ve been thinking about them ever since.
But, here’s the problem with this mix and things like it. If you notice the expiration date on the right, you’ll see that I’ve had it for quite a while… way before that date even. It’s a quirk of mine. I find it extremely difficult to open cute packaging. I would rather just look at it contained, than open it. Quirky, right?
Here’s another example of really cute packaging from Chronicle Books. Take a look at this Cupcake Kit
! It’s so cute, I haven’t even opened the box to hold and look at all the fun stuff inside.
But, guess what?! I have two of them.
So, maybe you can help me out. If I give one away, will you open it and tell me how fun everything inside is?
Please, because I’m going to put the other one on a shelf and stare at it.
Okay, it’s settled. One of these kits is up for grabs. But which one of you wants it? Let me know.

It’s comment number…

Congratulations eRika! The goodies will be in your hands soon. I hope you have fun with it.
Now, guess what?! I’ve decided to go ahead and give the second one away also. That’s right. Two winners. Why? Because you guys are always so great and I know I will just be staring at mine on the shelf. I think I would feel guilty knowing how badly so many of you wanted one.
And the second winner is comment number 40. Ooooh, a low number this time. Who’s it gonna be?
Jenni, of course. And, I’d love to see any results from your new cupcake kit.
Thanks everyone who entered and graciously agreed to tear into this box for me. Some of you even have the same packaging problem as I do. (Yay, I’m not alone.) And, some of you… well, let’s just say I wouldn’t want to come between you and any sort of wrapped gift. But, it would be fun to watch. There were a total of exactly 2,800 entries for this giveaway and it was one I really enjoyed reading. Made me laugh, smile and wish I had even more kits to give. And Carissa, even though you didn’t win, and you were “number two-thousand-four hundred and fifty,” I did read your comment. Hi!
shoot! i won’t have any problems tearing into that box. i’m like a little kid at christmas time when i get new “toys”….forget about the box..just dig right in for the good stuff.
http://eispydesserts.blogspot.com/
I am the same way with mixes in cute packaging…I never want to open them..
Here’s what I’d do … I’d open that too cute by half box and in the gorgeous Greek sun I’d take pictures for you, one by one, of everything inside. Then I’d make those cupcakes … eat a couple myself and share all the rest. Wanna bet it could start a cupcake craze here in borderline paradise?
I’d love one of those kits!

It’d be hard (I have the same quirk about things in cute packages… I still have chocolate coins with my school’s logo on them- i got them at orientation 4 years ago), but I think my love of cupcakes would outweigh my need to keep the box pretty.
anything cupcakes,bring it on looks great…

Love your work!

I tried cupcake bites today for the first time using the candy peanutbutter cup mold. For a first try, I think they came out pretty cute. Of course I will try again because they are so fun to make! I actually found them to be easier than plain cake balls. I used a squirt bottle for the chocolate bottoms and that was super easy and the dipping for the top seemed cleaner and easier than dipping the entire ball in the melted chocoalte. I found directions on your blog from last May!
Wow! Such cute stuff! I don’t suppose you’re looking for cupcake hair clips too, are you?
I absolutely want to open that box and use it (but I promise to share before doing so). Proof of this is that I purchased a Sprinkles Vanilla cupcake mix from Williams Sonoma – AND actually used it! It was for my daughter’s first birthday.
http://www.dreamshoppe.blogspot.com for my email info and a picture of some of my own yummy cupcakes. Thanks for sharing yours with the world, Bakerella! We love you!
I would LOVE this! I <3 cupcakes!!
I’d be more than happy to tear into that box. And I’m sure my 2 boys would be more than happy to tear into the cupcakes afterwards. :)
I love cupcakes! I would definitely tear into it too!

Please let the numbers pick me! :)

Of course I’d tear into that. Think I could make that blue cupcake? If so, I would.
ME, ME, Pick ME!! You guys seem to have the BEST stuff over there in the land of Bakerella! (Plus you've got…Bakerella!) I'd love to 'carefully' open that awesome package & give you a run down on what's inside, I can only imagine it's deliciousness – mmm!
Click on my name & you'll find me, ready & waiting : )
Oh, I couldn’t TEAR into it. I would open it ever so gently so I could hopefully close it back up again and enjoy it for a bit longer before actually baking it.

Ohhhh, I wouldn’t tear into that cute box… I would carefully open it and revel in all the neat goodies and then set the cute box on the counter and admire it until my husband started stacking things on it. Then I would probably tuck it away as I’m positive I could do something fabulous with it in the future.
Love your site…
