January 2011 - Pretty Little Things (cupcakes)

I love all sort of pretty little things. Whether they be sparkly jewelry, housewares, art, food, fashions, makeup or just whatever gets my attention at the moment. This is a cute site, called allprettylittlethings, that might give you an idea of what i am writing about.

The topic for this post is cupcakes. I just adore cute little cupcakes. Baking and decorating them. Enjoying how cute they look and, yes, eating them. So much more enjoyable that a large cake which tends to overwhelm me.

So let's start simple with a basic recipe and instructions on how to make cupcakes!

You must find time to tune into Cupcake Wars on the Food Channel - Tuesdays at 9 PM Eastern. Check out this fun video from the show about Sweet E's Bake Shop in LA

It is amazing how many cupcake blogs are available on the internet. Cupcakes Take The Cake is one of the best!

My favorite cupcakes are Red Velvet! Everything else may look cute but just does not taste the same!

Lastly, here are the 5 best cupcakes in Atlanta as per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. One of my favorites is Butter Sweet Bakery especially for their Red Velvet Cupcakes. To quote a review "Their Red velvet cupcake is the moistest, reddest, most luscious version of this Southern favorite ever."
