Princess Cupcakes

I admit, I have fallen victim to the cupcake rage that's sweeping America.

I have purchased cupcakes from Caboodle Cupcakes (our local cupcake store here in Terre Haute).  They were so very TASTY!  I drool like Pavlov's dog every time I drive by their store.  I have day dreams about their Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting.  I yearn to have endless hours to enjoy their cute little store.

I LOVE cupcakes.  I admit I can't get enough of Food Network's Cupcake Wars.  I have purchased so many Cupcake Cookbooks including What's New, Cupcake? and even a "few" of those magazines you can buy at the checkout line at the grocery store that are entirely focused on Cupcakes.  I am embarrassed to show you my cupcake book library.  But it makes me happy.

So every party that I throw has to have cute cupcakes.  I admit, I don't always succeed. (You remember the Bowling Pin cupcakes I made right? I keep trying to erase that memory.)  But I try.  It's so fun to make cupcakes to go along with the party theme.

So when I was thinking of my Princess Baby Shower, I had to do something as sweet and cute as our new little princess herself.

I started by buying the Princess Chocolate Candy Picks Mold.

I painted out the mold's indentations to be pink for our little princess and then cast the crowns in white chocolate.

When they were ready I pushed them into my 2 cupcake styles.

To dress the cupcakes up a little more, I added our Princess Crown Cupcake Wrappers.

Now, if only it were Carrot Cake it would be perfect!
