Hey Cupcake!

I don't have a cupcake obsession, really, but they just seem to be a hot thing right now. I was in Austin last week for work and we finished up shooting a couple of hours early, so I asked some of the local folks what to do and they said to check out downtown Austin and Hey Cupcake, a cupcake vendor parked in a lot on Congress. It sounded really fun, so we punched the address of the parking lot into the Garmin and took off.

We finally find it and it's basically a silver Airstream trailerhuge with a huge pink cupcake on top. I had the red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting and it was really yummy!

This got me thinking - how cool would it be to open a cupcake truck like those taco trucks that drive around and serve awesome Mexican food? I could just call it "The Cupcake Truck" and it would be like an ice cream truck, but with cupcakes! If I could charge $2.50 a cupcake like these folks, I'd be in business!

  2. Just edited my comment because I see that you've already been to Sprinkles, that other bastion of supreme cupcake goodness. No need to apologize for extensive cupcake coverage - I cannot think of a more fulfilling (or perhaps just filling) hobby.

    Hope you had a great time in Austin! And thanks for checking out my little slice of the internet.

  3. This is SO Austin! Why have I not heard of this? I live here! There is another cupcake place called Polkadots Cupcakes that my friend and I wanted to take the kiddos to but we may have to try this one out also. So cool.

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
