Portland, Maine cupcakes: Tulips Cupcakery

I'll be visiting Portland, Maine this weekend for the first time, and am very excited about catching up with one of my oldest friends (we met when we were six), exploring, eating all sorts of food and, of course, cupcakes! I love that there's such a thriving cupcake scene there, and will be reporting back. One of the companies I'll be trying is Tulips Cupcakery, which sells their cupcakes at local farmers' markets and cafes in Portland and Freeport, Maine (I'm picking mine up at a restaurant called Mornings in Paris, a name I think is so charming, where I think I'll have to try the red velvet latte!), and uses locally sourced ingredients. Below are some photos from their Facebook page. Find out where they'll be and their flavors at tulipscupcakery.com and they can be reached at tulipscupcakery at gmail.com or 207-252 9960.

Hearts, flowers, stars and stripes in red, white and blue by Hilary Rose Cupcakes

I love everything about these beautiful vintage stars and stripes custom birthday triple chocolate cupcakes by Hilary Rose Cupcakes in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, UK, via Flickr! One of the things I love about custom cupcakes is just how beautifully detailed they can be, and how they really are cupcake art. Don't you think?
