Colored and designer cupcake liners are currently very popular and also very hard to find. The best place to find colored liners is Confectionery House. But I have just found another online shop, called Cupcake Swirl, offering hard to find brown cupcake liners, with cheap and fast shipping. I placed an order for their brown cupcake liners on Thursday and received the order today, Monday.
Stay tuned to see my new liners in action!

This past week I had my first cupcake failure! I had decided to try out my idea for this month’s Iron Cupcake Earth’s challenge ingredient of basil, but my cupcakes sank, I didn’t have enough basil and I didn’t fully understand how to make Swiss meringue buttercream. I was so devastated, but I have gotten past that and am ready to start again.
On my next try however, I will be using some new equipment. Inspired by How To Eat A Cupcake, we placed an order for a gloss cinnamon Kitchenaid stand mixer.
We’ve also placed an order for 2 Wilton cupcake pans (hoping to get some pans that will give my cupcakes straighter, rather than slanted, sides), a decorating kit, those infamous nut & party cups and believe it or not, chocolate-brown cupcake liners. I’m extremely excited and can’t even get to sleep at night for thinking about it!
I also have plans to bake 2-3 dozen cupcakes to sell at a neighborhood rummage sale, but not actually sure if I’ll have the time to bake that many (my two young children keep me too busy!). But if I get around to it, that is definitely something I am looking forward to.

This is old news, and I’m sure everyone’s already seen these before, but I feel I need to post it since it concerns cupcakes – giant ones! Of course I’m talking about Wilton’s Giant Cupcake Pan.
I’ve been tossing around the idea of purchasing one, but I just can’t bring myself to do so. The giant cupcake sort of ruins what cupcakes are all about – small, mini cakes. I have seen some very beautifully decorated giant cupcakes, however.
