Getting Cosy!

I have to say, I'm really tempted to treat myself to one of these pretty and padded Kindle cosies. Not only are they appliqued and embrridered with the cutest strawberry cupcakes but they also have little sequiny and beady sprinkles! What more could a cupcakey girl wish for??

Designed and handmade by The Apple Cottage company, these little pretties are available from Not on the High Street, priced at £21.00 + p&p.

Bake Me A Cake!

I have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for cushions. In fact I probably own enough of them to start up my own cushion shop... if only I could bear to part with them!  And just look what I found this week... a cuter than cute cupcake cushion from those amazing people at Two Little Birdies. Nor sure how long I can resist!  Available from Not on the High Street, for £20.00 + p&p.  And that even included a luxury feather-filled cushion pad!

Pretty As A Picture!

Just take a look at what I found while browsing the internet for cupcakey fabulousness... well, someone has to do it!  Designed by Pomegranate Prints, the creation of illustrator Emma Garner, this cute hand-embellished (with glitter, my favourite!) print can be personalised with a name, or a word, of your choice.You can also purchase the print 'ready to give' in it's own handmade, white-painted wooden frame.

Available from Not On The High Street, priced from £20.00 + p&p.  There's even the option to buy a second, unframed print for only £15.00!

Cupcake Queen

To celebrate 60 years of the Queen's reign, baking brand Dr Oetker teamed up with food artist Prudence Staite to create this amazing 'Cupcake Queen' portrait, using 2012 cupcakes... and each and every one was decorated by hand.  Whether you're a fan of the royal family or not, you've got to admit that's some achievement!
