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?

Want it: KitchenAid Stand Mixer

I really really want a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I used to be completely bored with kitchen appliances, but once I started baking, I realized how much easier a KitchenAid would make my life. Cupcakes would be amazingly simple. Cakes, a breeze. And it’s sooo pretty! I’m extremely jealous of anyone who has one of these mixers and often dream of getting engaged JUST so I can put this on my registry (that’s only kind of a joke). But, since I have less than ample counter space in my apartment kitchen and I’m not very close to marriage at the moment, I’ll have to be happy with my KitchenAid hand mixer for now. Sigh.

*Drool* And yes, I’m aware that pink isn’t a very practical color. And I don’t care.
