Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit Cupcake Kit

March 11, 2014 By Joi Sigers

Peter Rabbit Cupcake Kit

Every now and again I come across something that’s so cute it makes me just want to call it a day. It’s like, “Well, nothing I see or do today’s going to top this, might as well put on my pink pajamas and go to bed.”

The Meri Meri Peter Rabbit Cupcake Kit just had that effect on me and I can’t promise that a day hasn’t, indeed, been called.

  • Features beatrix potter’s classic illustrations
  • Coordinates with meri meri peter rabbit party range
  • Designed in England

Dr. Seuss Inspired Cupcakes

March 7, 2013 By Joi Sigers

Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

I have a special place in my heart for Dr. Seuss and his wonderful books. I taught each of my little girls to read with Dr. Seuss books, so each time I see one, very warm and precious memories come to mind.

Love that!

The cupcakes, above, are Truffela Trees and were created in honor of the late Dr. Seuss. 109 years ago, on March 2, a little baby boy was born who would go on to have special places in the hearts of parents and children alike.  Just think how many mommies, daddies, grandmothers, grandfathers, and aunts and uncles have sat with children who meant the world to them with only a Dr. Seuss book between them.  When you think about it, Dr. Seuss has an amazing and beautiful legacy!

Below is the recipe for these gorgeous cupcakes. Much thanks to Target’s A Bulleseye View blog for sharing this recipe with us!

Trufulla Tree Cupcakes

1 box Betty Crocker White Cake mix
1 stick butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
10 drops green food coloring
1 package pretzel stick rods
1 package Fruit Roll-Ups
Colored cotton candy

  1. Bake white cupcakes in mini-muffin pan according to package instructions.
  2. Beat butter for 1 minute and add powdered sugar in 1 cup intervals, beating thoroughly between each addition, until creamy. Add in vanilla and cream. Beat well for 2 minutes. Add in green food coloring until frosting is grass green.
  3. Use a fluted pastry tip to pipe grass on top of cooled mini cupcakes.
  4. Wrap Fruit Roll-Ups pieces around pretzel sticks. Place tufts of cotton candy on top of pretzel sticks using a bit of extra frosting to help stick the two together.
  5. Stick the pretzel rod carefully into the center of the grass green cupcake. Enjoy!

Buy Harry & David Cake Pops Online

July 9, 2012 By Joi Sigers

Delicious Cake Pops

Americana Cake Pops from Harry & David

The beautiful and delicious cake pops you see pictured here are from Harry & David. They were sent to me for Fourth of July, but the package didn’t arrive in time for me to review these beauties before July 4th. They’re so gorgeous and were so amazingly good, though, that I HAVE to write about them. Besides, if you go to the Harry & David (click the link), you’ll find that they have oodles of creative, beautiful, and delicious goodies for you to order.

No doubt each one is as outstanding as these cake pops were.

Notice how I keep saying “were?”  That’s because they disappeared the day we opened the package!

Harry & David Cake Pops

Americana Cake Pops from Harry & David

The first thing I noticed was how beautifully wrapped these cake pops were. If you read very many of my food reviews, you know how important presentation is to me. It sets the mood! These cake pops were wrapped beautifully and, themselves, were dressed to impress. Not only were the cake pops iced in colorful red, white, and blue icings, they were rolled in sparkling sugar (not your ordinary run of the mill sugar, of course). Sometimes it’s that little extra something that just puts an already exceptional product over the moon, isn’t it?

These outrageously delicious cake pops come with 3 red velvet cake pops and 3 yellow cake pops.  I was ready to love the red velvet cake ones so much that the yellow cake pops would be a let down. Wrong!  The yellow cake pops are actually as good as the red velvet cake pops – which is ridiculously, stupendously, outrageously delicious.

While it’s no longer the Fourth of July, I’d totally urge you to order these Americana Cake Pops from Harry & David – after all yummy is always in season.  You can order these babies through September 30, 2012.

Harry & David would be an excellent source for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas gifts and treats. Some of the tempting delicacies that caught my eye are:

  • Cookies and Brownies Gift Box
  • Peaches, Pound Cake, and Raspberry Sauce
  • Harry’s New York Style Cheesecake
  • Chocolate Gifts and Gift Boxes (yes, as a matter of fact, they ALL caught my eye!)

You’re going to fall in love with this website and all of the food gifts and treats they have.  Be sure to bookmark the website for the Holidays – they’ll be an endless source of gifts!
