Did someone say cupcakes?

I am a huge fan of cupcakes. Obsessed you might say. If I could do anything, I would probably want to open my open cupcake shop. Unfortunately, I kind of missed the boat on that one as cupcakes are already all the rage and shops have already been opening everywhere within the last couple years.

And even though I live a two-minute walk away from the best cupcakes in Boston and surrounding areas (Party Favors), I still bake them whenever I get the chance. I use a combination of recipes and tweak them a little bit each time, but I mainly stick to the Magnolia Bakery’s cupcake and butter cream frosting recipes. The best, in my opinion.

I think family and friends got the memo that I am cupcake crazy as these were some of the gifts I got for Christmas this year:

A cupcake dessert stand, so I can properly display my finished product.

And Crate and Barrel’s cupcake carrier, so I can travel with my cupcakes. This really excites me as I never have a way of transporting my cupcakes to parties and events. And it holds 24 cupcakes!

Any other cupcake accessories I absolutely need?

    That cupcake stand is quite cool.

    And this post is, of course, making me crave cupcakes.

    Oh Susie, I own both of those things and adore them, especially the cupcake stand! And I make the Magnolia Bakery cupcakes too, they’re my favorite.

    Can we have a baking party together if I’m ever in Boston?!
