Katy Perry loves cupcakes.
No kidding, right?! She is the cupcake princess!
Katy Perry has inspired a wardrobe of cupcake, with her famous cupcake bra, her stunning little cupcake purse, and of course she is a lover of eating the cupcakes too. There is no doubting an obsession when you see it!
But has she gone too far? Live on stage in Malaysia she danced in front of icecream (a banana split to be precise), cupcakes, macarons and lollipops, all part of her Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired stage.
Yes, we are hungry, yes we love cupcakes, yes you have the cupcake princess title, stop doing this to us, we cannot take much more! But apparently more cupcake or sweet inspired imagery is on its way as Perry’s new album Teenage Dream is all about the sweet stuff.
However she says, according to Ok magazine, that “For my next album I’d like it to be about meat and I want to be on the cover wearing a bacon bikini. Also I want my records to smell of sausage or pork. CDs are over, but not if they smell original.”
If you say so! Hmm, move over cupcake and macaroons, apparently the next trend is bacon!

According to the New York Daily News, the Duncan Hines Daytime Emmy Awards held their Cupcake Contest Cook off at a popular New York City bakery this week. Ten hopeful bakers competed for the top prize of a trip to L.A. and to have their cupcakes made (and eaten!) by their favorite daytime celebs at a red carpet party reception for the Daytime Emmys.
The cupcake cook off was held at the Cupcake Café on West 18th Street. The contestants used Duncan Hines cake mixes to create delicious cupcakes and added their own special touches.
Wondering who won? (So were we!) The lucky L.A. bound winner is Katie Rousonelos from Madison, Wisconsin. She baked and designed a yummy red velvet cupcake with a chocolate filling and vanilla frosting – with a fresh raspberry on top! Just hearing about this yummy cupcake is making our mouths water! And red velvet cupcakes sound just perfect for that red carpet for the Daytime Emmys.
What could be more perfect that an event full of your favorite daytime television stars – and cupcakes? How exciting to think that the winner’s cupcakes will be made for a special reception for the stars. This is a cupcake contester’s prize like no other. There must have been lots of entries and yummy cupcakes to compete against. But Ms. Rousonelos’ scrumptious red velvet cupcakes were chosen as the #1 cupcake and she has won this glamorous and glittery prize. We hope she has a wonderful time on that L.A. red carpet rubbing shoulders with her favorite stars, eating her cupcakes!
We’re sure there will be lots of red carpet glamour and excitement in store as Ms. Rousonelos heads to L.A. to see the Emmys and enjoy her cupcakes at the special star-studded reception event. Congratulations to all of the entries and to the winner!

Ms. Holmes plays Jacqueline Kennedy for the History Channels exciting new mini-series – that’s already getting a big “buzz” and lots of excitement.
The red velvet and grasshopper Curly Cakes are considered the “most popular” at the restaurant. We simply had to find out more about this yummy cupcakes – and the Luxist.com reports this June “Whatever you do, DO NOT miss the cupcakes…” Read the rest of their article about the restaurant here.

Everyone knows what it is like to long for “a taste of home” and there’s nothing like sharing it with friends. Especially when it comes to cupcakes, who wouldn’t love a delivery of sweet cupcakes while they were far away? These unique red velvet and grasshopper cupcakes sound sweet, indulgent and simply delicious!
