I confess that I'm a grown up who remains to be very kid at heart. Despite the numerous priorities and tasks to be accomplished, I admit that some simple things are more than enough to make me happy. I may have a complicated life but at the end of the day, some shallow things are more than enough to raise my downing spirits and cure my unpredictable sadness attacks.
One thing that never fails to alleviate my drama and self-pity moments is.... FOOD! LOL You see, I told you I'm very kid at heart. A little food bribe is enough to alter another gloomy day. I have an endless list of all the comfort and recovery food I love. But I guess one of my favorites would be sweets, particularly CUPCAKES!
When I was growing up, we never had those artistically designed cupcakes. What we had then was the typical bread cupcakes. If I'm not mistaken, I think Cupcakes by Sonja started the cupcake trend in the Philippines. After it's establishment, bakeshops and other restaurants also started venturing to these cute and sweet pieces. Another confession to make, the cupcake addict in me haven't even tasted a piece of Cupcake from the famous Sonja's. My cupcakes' cravings some days ago made me google some unique cupcakes in the web universe. Hence, I ended up compiling these adorable mini cakes
For the sports enthusiasts
A real cupcake depiction of Cookie Monster
I fell in love with the pastel colors of these cupcakes.
If I can't have an iPhone, then I can settle for this for the mean time :)
This looks like a yummy strawberry ice cream topped with Pistachio nuts. A grouchy day can be cured by this piece of pink beauty.
I never saw anything like this in my country yet. The entire cupcake is just covered with frosted icing.
For the Japanese anime lovers, you will surely love this.
Another unique cupcake I never imagined to exist. Someone please bring or make something like this in the Philippines.
The "cheesy" cupcakes for the hopeless romantic in me.
These cupcakes are for the proud members of the female populace. Though honestly, I would have second thoughts in eating these cupcakes. I already enjoy looking at them.
Cupcakes that are so me, the little black dress addiction.
Flower bouquet cupcakes are becoming a trend in some parties I have attended
How about Disney Princesses?
Why cupcakes didn't become a trend when I was still a kid?
A princess should have her own castle. I find this simple yet very creative. I would never have thought of turning biscuits to miniature castles.
Do you love cupcakes too?
P.S. Calling the attention of my friends from the Philippines! You might be interested owning any of these books.
I'm giving them away for free. See my previous post for instructions.
I LOVE looking at all the different, creative ways cupcakes are created!! Amazing. How adorable are those cupcakes with the little shoes and handbags - major cuteness. I can't eat cupcakes very often...but when I do - YUM! :)
ReplyDeleteAren't these all adorable! It makes you wonder if the popcorn cupcakes tastes like popcorn? Have you ever eaten Jelly Bellys? The jelly beans have all different flavors and one of my favorites is Popcorn flavor! Hugs!

I didn't grow up with cupcakes either. Boy you can sure come up with some amazing designs for those things. But you know what? I think I stick with my regular round cake and place on it as many candles as my lungs can blow :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. Now I want cupcakes. *drools*
ReplyDeleteI always remember cupcakes but nothing as great as these beautiful cupcakes. The decorations are wonderful. The Cookie Monster is cool and the teacups are adorable. WOW, they are all just amazing.
ReplyDeleteTrying to pick a favorite but it's very difficult! How creative! I don't know if I can eat them!!! Patsy from

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these. They are beautiful. Cupcakes are works of art these days.
ReplyDeleteaw... so CUUUUTE! :) i'd love to have some, though i doubt i would be able to eat them!
ReplyDeleteAng cute nung Disney Princesses na cupcakes. This post made me drool. Weeee.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen cupcakes as creative as you have shown. I loved the flowered ones like the roses and the terra cotta pot with roses. My favorite is the cupcake in a cup. Looks like those must have take a looooot of time to create. In an earlier post, you showed a wonderful infinity type pool overlooking the ocean. I hope you do a post on that soon. I wanted to be swimming in both the pool and ocean!
ReplyDeleteOh you have a blog giveaway too! I wanna join because I'm curious to find out what "Chicken Soup for the American Idol" is all about. Hahaha! I'll join mamaya, but I'll promote my blog giveaway muna to you because it's a good one --- please join and invite your readers?
ReplyDeleteAnd about this post... would you believe that I've only been and have only eaten a Sonja's cupcake once? Yeah. I love cupcakes/cakes but Sonja's and the likes can be very expensive, sakit sa bulsa so icacake ko nlang! Hahahahaha! Sometimes I eat nlang yung mga sa bazaars kasi mas affordable!
Uy, join ka ha?
Cutest cupcakes ever!!

Those are the type of cupcake that make me feel destructive when I bite in. I love them! :) By the way-- Paul Coelho is such a great choice! I *love* The Witch of Portobello!
