Polka dot and striped tie cupcakes for shirt company, plus zebra print, owls and flowers

These t-shirt cupcakes were made by Man Bakes Cake (via Facebook), for shirt company PVH Corp. Aren't they fun? I love the detail on each and then how all four look together. Contact them at martinez_rudy at msn.com for orders (and of course tell them we sent you!)

Cute owl cupcake - are there any other kind?

New bakery news: Midnite Confection's Cupcakery opens in Baltimore, Maryland

Midnite Confection's Cupcakery is not actually open til midnight (though I am all in favor of more late-night cupcakeries, as a night owl I'd appreciate that), but they are a new spot on the Baltimore cupcake scene. These photos are from their Facebook page. You can also find them on Twitter.

Butterbeer Harry Potter cupcakes

These Harry Potter cupcakes (the first this week of many, I predict) are by Omaha, Nebraska's PJ's Baby Cakes, via Flickr. You can find out more at pjsbabycakes.com and follow them on Twitter and Facebook. From their Flickr account:

Butterbeer Cupcakes are a buttery cream soda cake filled with a butterscotch ganache, topped with a butterscotch buttercream and drizzled with more butterscotch ganache. I adapted a few different recipes found on the internet and made an absolutely awesome cupcake. Possibly my favorite. Or maybe it's just all the butterscotch talking.

Fondant pieces were handmade by myself and one of my volunteers!

What big eyes you have, owl cupcake!

Once again, owl cupcakes prove they have giant cookie eyes and are totally adorable! This one's by Pamela Napoli on Flickr, who also takes photos for T.H.E. Fitzgerald Photography.



Pamela's Flickr caption:

I made these owl cupcakes for my dad's birthday last weekend. He collects owls (we're talking like 100X as many owls as I have Hello Kitties!) Anyway, these are chocolate cupcakes with dark chocolate frosting, Oreo cookies for eyes and ears, Junior Mint eyeballs, and banana Runts for beaks. I used a patriotic cupcake paper with red and blue stars since it was 4th of July weekend :)
