Creative Parties Cupcakes Merchandise

While at lunch yesterday afternoon, I strolled over to Creative Parties on Woodmont Avenue to visit a girlfriend who works there. While waiting for her, I was looking around the store and wouldn't you know it! A couple of cute cupcake items caught my eye!

The first were these little "Sweet Time" Kitchen Timers. These adorable little things come in four different colors - chocolate, vanilla, mint, and strawberry. I was trying to figure out, via a Google search, exactly how much they cost (since I forgot to look while I was there) but I couldn't find them online!

The other item I saw was this Hand Embellished Matchbox! Now you can be fashionable when lighting those birthday candles at your friends party! Is that really necessary, you ask? Yes, yes it is! Which is why I bought a box. They sell for $4.75. The company that makes them is ME Art & Design. (Forgive the pictures - I took them at night so the lighting was bad!)

Aside from carrying great cupcake-related items, Creative Parties is an invitations and event planning company. Their store on Woodmont sells a lot of great knick-knacks though, like Kate Spade stationary and cell phone holders, Rhinestone-studded wine stoppers, cherry-blossom printed sticky notes, etc. etc. Definitely wander in if you're ever in the area!

MoMA Cupcake Canisters

One of my Cupcake Meetup Group members, Liesa, showed me these modern looking cupcake canisters from MoMA Store. Thanks Liesa!

The small canister is made of laquer on plastic, and the large canister is made of laquer on wood. They're hand wash only, and aren't suitable for hot foods or the microwave. The small one sells for $16 and the large for $38. Check them out by clicking here!

Anthropologie Cupcake Apron

You can always count on Anthropologie to have adorable things, like this cupcake apron! The Baker's Delight Apron is made of cotton and has a darling cherry-topped cupcake print. The apron has 2 front pockets, is machine washable, and sells for $32. It even comes in a kid's size, which goes for $24. Happy Baking!

Cupcake Dessert Dishes

All my posts on Cupcake goodies thus far have been rather pricey (5K purses, 1K necklaces), so I thought I would fill you in on some adorable cupcake stuff more in the average gal's price range! And seriously, how darling are these little dessert dishes???

These hand-painted plates come in a set of 4, are dishwasher safe, and packaged in a cute little gift box to boot! The best part? Only $19.95! Pick yours up at one of the three Sur-La-Table locations in our area: their DC store on Wisconsin Avenue, their Arlington store in Pentagon Row, or on the 2nd floor of Tysons Galleria, across from the Juicy Couture boutique. Not close to any of these locations? Save money on gas and simply click here to buy them online!

My Favorite Cupcake Carriers

How much do you love the little Cup-a-Cake Containers? These adorable little things are so cute and convenient, you've got to own at least one. They're available at Linens N Things, The Container Store, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, and Kitchen & Company in Bel Air, Maryland. I'll let you in on a little secret though...just go directly to the Cup-a-Cake website (http://www.cupacake.com/) to get the best deal. Those big name retailers sell only select colors, and for $2.99 each, while Cupacake.com sells all the colors (White, Pink, Green, Yellow, and Blue) in sets of 4 for $9.99.

How about the Cupcake Courier? Genius! This amazing portable device holds 3 stackable cupcake trays, with each tray holding 12 cupcakes. There really is no better way to get those cupcakes to your next party or gathering unharmed! They come in Petal Pink, Lemon Grass, Saffron Yellow, and Soft Blue Sky. Though currently out of stock on http://www.cupcakecourier.com/, you can find them at Target, Dillards, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bloomingdales, and on Amazon.com.
