Cupcake naming immortality awaits you

Help Jules Cupcakes name a vanilla cupcake! And do make sure to regularly check out our Flickr pool’s message boards for fun stuff like this, as well as if you have queries about cupcake baking or selling. I don’t have an exact photo of the vanilla cupcake in question, but these are chocolate and vanilla mini cupcakes by Jules Cupcakes (via Flickr ) that were too cute not to post: You can also email julescupcakes at yahoo.com and check out their site – it’s under CUPstruction!!! Fabulous. And another one to add to my October San Francisco cupcake tasting tour

Cupcake crawl snapshots

We wound up going to four bakeries on Saturday: Connie’s in Mount Kisco, Perfect Endings Bakery in Armonk (they were sadly out of cupcakes but had some fun giant cupcakes on display and other yummy stuff – plus they are doing the cake for the Cake Wrecks Barnes & Noble event in October, oh my!!), Dream Cakes Bakery in Cortlandt Manor and Flour & Sun Bakery in Plesantville. I can’t do justice to them all right now but in the interest of getting something posted (will blog more when I have time, sorry, plus post video interview from Flour & Sun), and also didn’t get to try all of the over 20 cupcakes we bought, but I will share some photos (have to get permission on the Perfect Endings photos, but can definitely say that they tied with Connie’s in the cuteness department – both had very fun, well-decorated, inviting atmospheres that went far beyond cupcakes): Inside the chocolate peanut butter cupcake from Connie’s – rich, gooey, delicious, good for sharing Cupcakes from Dream Cakes…that I didn’t get to try. I guess I’m a bad blogger but maybe my friend can report on how they were

Lady bird (or ladybug) cupcakes

These are by Flickr user pink4roxy2 – I was a little confused because she called these “lady bird cupcakes” but I only know these cute little animals as “ladybugs.” Wikipedia to the rescue: Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (British English, Australian English, South African English), ladybugs (North American English) or lady beetles (preferred by some scientists). Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly.[1] Whatever you call them, they are adorable on cupcakes!
