Break Your Baker's Block: Cupcakes

Resources Cupcakes Bakers Block Ideas

This may be the best time in the history of the world to be interested in making cupcakes.

Seriously.

Let's start with some baking tips: 

• Cupcake FAQs from the Cupcake Project.
• General cake-baking tips. If you enjoyed Emily's post about baking from not-scratch, you'll like this part: "...it is a well known secret that many professionals use mixes." Ha.

Now, some ideas for your cupcakes themselves: 

• Creative cupcake towers
• Oreos = YUM
• Oreos = ...hair?
• Supremely throwable angry birds
• Who says you can't have your cake and cupcakes too?
• Pretty buttercream roses from Sweden.
• This is exactly what I was trying to do last month!
• I told you cupcakes are a great place to practice a new technique.

 How strictly do you define cupcake, anyway? Let's question those boundaries.

• Ice cream cupcakes: inspiration
• ...and a recipe
• ...and a poser.
• Harry Potter cauldron cakes made in a standard muffin tin
• ...or in a special hemisphere pan.
• Mini layer cakes cut out from larger layers
• ...or made with two stacked cupcakes.

Just for kicks, here are a couple of random cakeish links that I just had to show you

Here's a book I'd love to sink my teeth into (pun! pun!)

Can this possibly be as fun as it looks AND taste good?

I don't know how to categorize cake sushi, but you needed to see it, so...here.
