It's Cupcake Party Time!


As you all know by now...I LOVE a good cupcake. I love baking them, decorating them, eating them and sharing them (well, sometimes I share them hehe). I have a super serious addiction to buying cute cupcake liners and sprinkles - Remember peeking into my baking cupboard? I have tons of sprinkles, sugars, quins, jimmies, nonpareils, icing colors, liners, etc.  I just can't help myself!  Every time I see a new design or a fun cute sprinkle, I become almost obsessed...if I don't buy it when I see it, it'll bug me until I go back and get it. 


I recently received the cutest cupcake liners and sprinkles from The Cupcake Social, an Etsy store.   They have so many pretty liners and such a wide selection of sprinkles and sugars.  Everything from dog bone shaped candies to edible animal shapes and hearts to ballerina and halloween toppers and rings...so many different colored jimmies, sugars, sprinkles, crystals and quins ..... I'm in love! There are dozens of different liners too...from zebra prints, to ginghams, to swirly patterns to florals prints ..... the selection is endless!  They sell mini liners, to standard and jumbo sizes as well. 


Besides the beauty of the liners, one thing I noticed using these is that, the color never faded.  Even the yellow liner, while using yellow cake, the color stayed as bright as it was before I used it.  If there's one thing that makes me nuts when using liners is that the color fades or blends into the cake, but these liners didn't do that.  So awesome!




The store also sells packaging, twine and tags, cookie cutters, pinwheels, candles and cupcake toppers.  So Many Cute Things! I can't tell you how much I absolutely adore this store!! If you love cupcakes as much as I do, whether baking or decorating them...You definitely need to check out The Cupcake Social.com.

*Disclosure:  This review was based on my own honest opinion.  I received the liners and sprinkles for review purposes.   No other compensation was received.  The opinions stated are my own and in no way influenced by The Cupcake Social.

I should never have read this post. You know how old timey movies used to say, "You had me at 'hello'"? Well, you had me at "cupcake". Cupcakes:Eastlyn::kryptonite: superman (okay, that's supposed to be an analogy, but I can't remember if I set it up right. It should read, "cupcakes are to Eastlyn what kryptonite is to Superman." I get weak beyond belief in the presence of a good cupcake! And don't get me started on all of the sprinkles! I often wonder where those cute wrappers come from when I see new cupcake recipes on www.bettycrocker.com. I'm absolutely loving the big dot confetti sprinkles up there. I also see you're making good use of your hand-crafted serving tray, too :) I'm not even going to tempt myself by going to that store/website just yet, but I see great shopping fun in my near future (like after the new year when I start working again)! Okay, so maybe I can't help but take a quick peak for now. I'll also share this with my SIL who loves a good cupcake, too. In fact, we are supposed to go to Sprinkles and treat ourselves to gourmet cupcakes for our birthdays this week. I'll have to remind her of that! Thanks for sharing. -E

Have you tried the liners from Sutton Gourmet Paper? www.suttongourmetpaper.com They work great even with dark chocolate cake. They don't fade or bleed. amazing! Not sure how much these ones you used are, but the price of Sutton Gourmet Paper liners is very good for 50 ct.
