Bugs Bugs Bugs

 Some parts of the country are currently dealing with cicadas. Personally (and maybe it’s just me), but I think cicadas + cupcakes = gross. Which is why I prefer fake insects on my cupcakes. The best part about these little critters (besides not being real) is that after you’ve devoured the cupcake you still have a magical glow in the dark ring left to enjoy once the sun goes down or the lights go out. But hey, if eating real bugs is your thing, I’m sure you can fit a fun bug ring alongside a tasty cicada atop a delicious cupcake.

Snowman Cupcakes

Snow is on the ground here, and, unfortunately, it’s way too cold to go out and build a snowman. So what’s the next best thing? Making one out of cake, of course! And the best part is that you can eat these snowmen as fast as you’d like without fear of the dreaded cold-headache – and they are light years ahead in terms of taste!

These little guys were made with rolled fondant on top of a cupcake and are topped with Bakery Crafts® Winter Hat Puffy Picks. If you don’t want to use fondant, try icing or meringue or whatever creative solution you can come up with and feel free to share what you find works the best.

If you don’t quite feel up to the task of constructing these snowy creatures, don’t fret – Bakery Crafts® allows you to still churn out fun winter cupcakes with ease. Snowman picks, rings, and edible Dec-Ons® are all available from Bakery Crafts® wide range of winter and snowman themed products. And new Snow Globe Rings allow the fun of cupcakes to continue long after they’ve been eaten and enjoyed.

Christmas Cupcakes

Christmas is a big time for baking cookies and cupcakes. With Bakery Crafts® wide selection of Christmas cupcake decorations, finishing your cupcakes with some holiday flair is one of the easiest things you’re likely to do this year. It’s certainly easier than wrapping presents, assembling a tree, or dislodging a plump, bearded man dressed in red that usually resides at the North Pole but is currently trapped in your chimney – trust me.

Rings, picks, Flexi-Picks™, Treat Wraps™ and all kinds of sprinkles, glitter and quins – if it’s Christmas-themed you need, Bakery Crafts® has you covered. There are religious-themed items like Angel Puffy Jewel Picks. And there are also reindeer, Christmas trees, presents, stockings, elves, and all sorts of Santas, gingerbread men, holly, wreaths, and ornaments. Considering the possible combinations, making your cupcakes singular and special will be seriously simple.

And don’t forget sprinkles. Nothing says Christmas like peppermint flavored candy cane quins.

So this Christmas, be sure to get your hands on some festive Bakery Crafts® cupcake decorations – or ask Santa. And if you can’t find him, check your chimney.

Give Thanks for Cupcakes

The leaves are changing and the temperatures are dropping with the arrival of fall. Help your customers impress their family and friends with your creatively decorated desserts this Thanksgiving.

Start with a cupcake cake that you can arrange to any shape you desire. Frosting in shades of warm autumn colors goes a long way toward evoking the crisp, cool atmosphere. Accenting your cupcake cake with one of Bakery Crafts® fun fall POP TOPS® sets will really add that bling that makes your cupcakes stand out.

One of the hottest trends in cupcakes today is the addition of food or food-themed items to the tops of cupcakes. A pumpkin-flavored cupcake with a cream cheese-based icing that is topped with a pumpkin pick or ring will surely be a hit. Bakery Crafts® has a variety of fall-themed picks and rings to choose from as well as edible Dec-Ons® available in different autumn shapes such as leaves and acorns.
