Cute monster cupcakes and chocolate hazelnut crunch mini cupcakes
These cute monster cupcakes are by Tammie Coe Cakes, taken by me at Cupcake Love-In. I didn't try them, but did try the chocolate hazelnut crunch mini cupcakes seen below, and was told to eat mine "like a shooter." I did and it was delicious! Light frosting, a little crunch, perfect size as it was the very last cupcake I ate at Cupcake Love-In.

Get your tickets NOW for the last Iron Cupcake: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Eye-Candy Challenge edition!
Tickets are on sale today until they sell out (or February 3rd) for the very last Iron Cupcake: Milwaukee Challenge. Let's have a big internet round of applause to Sandy Ploy for her hard work in pioneering this amazing event. Bakers can register here. I'm even going to consider flying out for it! I've always wanted to go because it sounds like so much fun! It's a benefit for The Pablove Foundation. It features Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, authors of Hello, Cupcake!, What's New, Cupcake? and the forthcoming Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pie, Oh My! (they are also going to be teaching cupcake decorating on our August 2012 Cupcake Cruise). Please do pass this on to anyone in Wisconsin who might want to join in at this exciting event that I think will pay tribute to Wisconsin in a very unique, fun way (note the "no fondant" rule).
Wisconsin Eye-Candy Challenge: Wisconsin is FULL of iconic landmarks and sports teams. Whether its House on the Rock or the Green Bay Packers, there is SO MUCH TO SEE! Utilizing all of the fun tips and techniques that Karen and Alan have taught the country, whip up a creation that portrays the look and style of a truly unique Wisconsin landmark or icon. Think candy, cookies, crusts and more to tell your story - oh, and a special challenge...NO FONDANT ALLOWED. One more thing, don't forget to make it taste good as well! Be creative, this challenge will become the ultimate Wisconsin stay-cation in one afternoon.
From JSOnline:
Baking enthusiasts will create cupcakes with the theme of "Wisconsin Eye-Candy" -- paying homage to state landmarks, legend or lore, and guests will be able to sample them.
A few openings for bakers remain for the event, which runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. It includes a silent auction of autographed celebrity cookbooks, by Rick Bayless, Alton Brown, Jacques Torres and others, that will benefit the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit group focused on childhood cancer.
About The Pablove Foundation: "The mission of The Pablove Foundation is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs. The Pablove Foundation is named after Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz, the son of Jo Ann Thrailkill and Jeff Castelaz and the little brother of Grady Gallagher. Pablo was six years old when he lost his valiant yearlong battle with bilateral Wilms Tumor, a rare form of childhood cancer. The reason that this foundation is so close to IronCupcake:Milwaukee is because our very own Too Much Metal Fred is close friends with Pablo's family and has been a vital part of the success of the Pablove Foundation. What better reason than to support him. Imbued with his spirit and inspired by his strength, Pablove is dedicated to the daily, global fight against childhood cancer and the suffering that comes in its wake. "

Hello Kitty Mini Cupcakes
On my daily tumblr trolling routine I was overwhelmed by the cuteness that are these Hello Kitty mini cupcakes. I mean, come on. Seriously. How can you resist the charming miniature nature that these baby Hello Kittys are emanating?! Did I mention they're made of strawberry cake and decorated with cream cheese frosting? Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that they are as delicious as they are adorable!
These ridiculously Hello Kitty-rific treats are brought to you by I heart baking!
Cupcakes On Franklin Avenue in Brooklyn
Finally I found cupcakes in my neighborhood of Crown Heights. Lily and Fig is a tea shop and bakery on Franklin Avenue. I got a carrot cake cupcake and spoke briefly with the owner. She told me that red velvet cupcakes are the biggest seller and she also bakes a vegan chocolate cupcake. You can find Lily and Fig on Facebook and Twitter.
