Currently Craving Cupcakes...

I've been rather busy of late, what with final year exams, preparing for my trips to Gambia and Poland and sorting out the house ready for the big move back down South... and all this stress is driving me to cupcakes! All I'm craving right now is a pretty little cake smothered in butter icing! I've recently started up a Tumblr blog and there are so many inspiring little blogs out there filled to the brim with gorgeous, and tempting photos. If you're on Tumblr please drop by and say hello! But in the meantime I thought I'd share some of the lovely cupcakes I came across on Tumblr...

I do love a nice cupcake and cookie (or two!) and so why not adorn my ears, fingers and neck with some lovely (almost) edible treats too!? Here are two of my absolute favourite sources for all things sweet! The lovely Little Miss Delicious and Dollydagger. So, feast* your eyes on these little beauties! (*pardon the pun!)

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair - Leeds

I went along to another vintage fashion fair this week, this time it was Judy's Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair. It was held in the lovely Corn Exchange building which was a lovely backdrop for the event. While there were less stalls than the Fashion Fair I visited last week, there was a great deal more homeware, kitchenware and accessories which was lovely. There were a few polka dot dresses that grabbed my attention but in the end I left empty-handed.

I was sorely tempted by these gorgeous ceramic cake stands... they were beautiful and a bargain too ranging from £12-18. A reasonable price for something so pretty!


Tape measure brooches and scrabble rings

The Marvellous Tea Dance Co catered with some amazing looking cupcakes! Check out the lemon meringue cupcakes!

Vintage fashion magazines




I've always wanted a fancy gold mirror in my house and I had my eye on this little beaut! There's also a little sneaky shot of my foot in my floral high-tops there too! :)

End of Teaching Placement - Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes!

It was my last day of my final teaching placement on Friday and I did a spot of baking for the staff room. It was my first batch of cupcakes since before Christmas! So needless to say the boyfriend was pleased to have cakes in the house again :) I played the dutiful girlfriend and made him a cuppa with cake. I made some Chocolate, Cherry and Coconut cupcakes and some Carrot, Orange and Walnut Cupcakes and they went down a treat in the staff room!


I got some absolutely lovely little gifts from school on my last day. I was surprised and totally love them! I was given a cupcake trinket box (that is sitting happily amongst my other ones) a cucpake mug and coaster (for the staff room in my first teaching post) and some yummy praline chocolates. It was so lovely and generous of them!

Etsy - The Cupcake Social - Baking with Polka Dots!

On one of my many scourings of Etsy, I came across this delightful cupcake based shop: The Cupcake Social. There isn't much for me to say other than, it makes me smile... all those polka dots, all those pretty things... all those cakes! There were so many things that I loved and wanted in their shop that the only way I could put them all into this blog post (without it being a mile long!) was to give you lots of little pics... ENJOY!

Etsy - Cute Cupcake Collection

I love cupcakes! I love Etsy... I have combined both of these to give you a little collection of cupcakery for all the fans of the sweet cakey treat that we all know and love!

I found this delightful piece of art - She Loves Cupcakes - and I've come to the conclusion that it must have been based on me... the cupcakes, the hair, the bow, need I say any more!?


Cupcake Camera Strap - perfect for photographing your very own baking delights!


Red Bow Cupcake Earrings - anything with a cute little bow on and I'm sold!

Triple Cupcake Tray Ring - kinda kitsch, but I love it!

Why should this little fella miss out on the cupcake action? Well with this uber cute Cupcake Costume he doesn't have to!
