I have featured cupcake hamburgers before, but what about the cupcake sandwich! Today I have a visual gallery of cupcake sandwiches! Probably not the healthiest thing for the school lunch, but they sure do look interesting!
So whether you fill them with fruit, ice cream, cream cheese, frosting or fondant, why not try a cupcake sandwich? I can’t really go past the strawberries and cream!
This cupcake and ice cream sandwich is from the Cupcake Project's blog from a few years ago when they did a round up of cupcakes and ice cream. This one in particular is from Little Ivy Cupcakes and is a massive contender for the largest cupcake sandwich.
More traditional looking this cupcake sandwich is from 'Hector's take on Rose's Heavenly Cakes', which also uses ice cream to fill it.
My final example of the cupcake sandwich is this picture. The cupcake here was designed by Chrissy but I found it on the 'I Heart Cuppy Cakes' blog as part of the September 09 Cupcake Roundup.

Have you ever noticed that cupcakes get eaten much faster on party tables than any other dessert? Especially kids’ cupcakes.
Cupcakes have become very popular. The cupcake rage has reached America, Australia, England and Canada. These little one-portion cakes have charmed the nations these last few years. Shops dedicated to the small wonders have been popping up everywhere. Each has its own decorating style but all are scrumptious.
Why not have a cupcake party? A cupcake party can start a trend within your circle of friends and family. Served with coffee or tea, they are good conversation starters as they can be topped in very wacky ways. Anything can help stir your imagination for scrumptious icings and toppings.
Strawberry Dipped Chocolate: distopiandreamgirl
It could be a theme cupcake party. Bake a nice fruity batter with fresh fruit added and top with icing to make them look like fruits. It could be a good strawberry cake with a nice creamy pink vanilla icing topped with a fresh strawberry, or my favorite: dip the strawberry in semi-sweet chocolate! Yum. Try a banana cake with chocolate icing and top with a candy banana – chocolate goes so well with banana. It also goes nicely with pear. A moist chocolate cake with chocolate icing and caramelized slices of pear on top wouldn’t be bad either. Lemon meringue cupcakes: wow!
Pig Cupcake: Megpi
The next person on the list having a cupcake party can go with something completely different. Pig cupcakes. Yup, you read right. The pig is a respectful farm animal that suffered a bad reputation for many years. We now know pigs are clean, do not necessarily smell bad and boy are they ever cute! Especially little piglets. Now who doesn’t find a piglet cute? Go crazy with pink icing and candy to make eyes and snouts. Make them happy piglets with smiles or have them play in mud and splash a little chocolate icing on their cheeks! Give them friends and make cat and dog cupcakes for the animal lovers in your circle.

You can also make traditional cupcakes of vanilla cake and butter cream icing topped with chocolate shavings or colored sprinkles. Place them on a cupcake three-tier stand and voila! You just created easy cupcakes that look fabulous when placed elegantly on a stand. Bet your friends will ask to borrow your cupcake stand for their next party.
Have a kids’ cupcake party. Gather all the children you know, bake a nice batch of cupcakes and supply them with tons of icings of different colors and all sorts of candies and nuts so they can experiment and decorate their own cupcake. They will eat lots of toppings while they work: just a warning.
Cupcakes are fun, versatile and good to eat. They accompany kids’ parties, weddings, christenings, baby showers, Halloween parties, Christmas dinners, Easter brunch, or just plain afternoon tea with friends.
Enjoy baking them, decorating them, see where your imagination will take you with different topping ideas, let your creativity flow and of course, eat them with pleasure. Eating them with people you love will make cupcakes taste even better.
