Toronto’s Most Beautiful Cupcakes

by Sprinkles on December 17, 2010

If you happen to be heading to Toronto, or live in the area then you will need to know where you can buy the most ‘beautiful’ cupcakes in town and if you don’t fit into either category, then these cupcakes are great for inspiration!  Toronto Life recently relaunched its ‘Food Porn’ column and one of the first subjects was cupcakes!

The task was set for many of the cities bakeries to come up with the best cupcakes they could, cupcakes that represented ‘beauty’.  The cupcakes below were selected and come from the vendors (in order left to right, from the top) SweetThings, OMG Baked Goodness, Wicked Little Cake Company, She Takes the Cake, Whole Foods, SweetThings, Eini & Co, The Cupcakery and LPK Cullinary Groove.

To see more photos from this cupcake collection, check out Sifu Renka’s Flickr page (author of the article).

Hungry Caterpillar Cupcakes!

by Sprinkles on November 7, 2010

If you are looking for a new cupcake idea for a kids party then look no further than these ultra fun and funky Very Hungry Caterpillar Cupcakes by the talented girls at Earth and Sugar.  Their cupcake store differs from most by focusing on organic cupcakes and cupcakes which are vegan and/or gluten free.

It is such a great concept for a kid’s birthday!  Or my birthday, I still totally adore the Hungry Caterpillar book! You can see more of Earth and Sugar’s cupcakes on their Flickr site.
