Saffron Cupcakes

I found a great creative idea for Saffron cupcakes along with the idea to put a wristband around the cupcake as a gift! Genius! Now thats a creative idea..

Saffron cupcakes sounds amazing. Just one thing where do you find it? can you buy Saffron at anywhere? As far as I know its expensive? The Band around the cupcake is an excellent idea!Would be great to give a cupcake to friends with a special message on..Please tell me more about Saffron.

Essie - Yes, saffron is expensive, but you can find it the spice section of most supermarkets.

Hows that for a creative idea?? Excellent

Cupcakes & Coffee

Cupcakes are of course One of my fave pick-me ups.Having said that one of my other favourite treats is coffee. I say 'treat' because there is so many creative ideas that can be dreamed up. Lately I absolutely love using cinnamon as opposed to sugar. I also really enjoy almond syrup. Nothing like a delicious, creamy , aromatic cuppa accompanying cupcakes. For an interesting creative idea/take on the above make a vanilla cupcakes (see origanl recipe on my blog post "QUICK CUPCAKE RECIPES")add cinnamon to the cupcake batter. Put high quality instant coffee granules in vanilla icing. Decorate cupcakes with a sprinkling of cinnamon & a coffee bean & voila! Quick, easy, creative cupcakes (stylish too)

Awww SWEEEEET!!!

 











Like the title of this post suggests, when I saw this pic I just HAD to share it..its so squishy..OK, so its not a cupcake cake BUT it is GORGEOUS.

Mind you looking at cakes & dresses all the day makes me wonder when if ever it will be my turn!!! Ive been seriously single for so long that at this rate Im going to run out of creative ideas to bag my own 'cupcake'

HAVE to put out a personal AD:

Cupcake baking, slightly loony with too many cats (kidding, only dogs)SWF seeks companion who enjoys cupcakes for breakfast(seriously I polished 4 for breakfast this morning..Im not even going to try & justify myself). Im only joking..sort of. Are you single? Would love to hear your comments(read moaning)!Are you planning a wedding? I would love to hear how you met..so I can start a hate blog..just kidding!!

Seriously though theres alot to be said for being single..for instance this morning I snuggled in with my cupcakes & cocunut squares(alas, Im a sinner), with a cup of sweet tea (not very creative but im all out of ideas so early int he morning). I have my freedom which wives & mums don't have much of...now Im rambling big time.
Still as much as all my fellow married friends try to convince my how 'lucky' I am to be single (I know they are right), I still get a bit warm & fuzzy when I see ultra nunu, squishy pics..sigh!

Oh well if will excuse me I have some frogs to kiss...For some creative ideas Click Here!

SAVOURY CUPCAKES

 

This morning as I was contemplating a lazy Sunday breakfast (scrambles eggs & toast..few things more satisfying than scrambled eggs...or leftover cupcakes...or Malva pudding..sorry Im rambling)it occurred to me that a cupcake tasting evening for guests could be fantastic, then I thought, what if I made savoury cupcakes? Such as: Cheese cupcakes topped with cream cheese & smoked salmon...yummy(&maybe a dash of spring onion for garnishing).

I just want to try & turn the traditional cupcake upside down. How about vanilla cupcakes topped with cream cheese & strawberries??

OR....Spinach & feta cupcakes topped with Avocado & sour-cream.

OR....Bacon, feta & tomatoe cupcakes topped with mozzarella & cream.

Or..butternut, feta & loads of garlic with roasted pepper cream cheese on top.

Anyway that's what Ive got so far..if you have anymore ideas to add please dont hesitate. I would love to be inspired by you.

CUPCAKES CARE

My friend Sam & I were discussing how its possible to use simple things to change & uplift your community. Now before you say oh no! not another blah blah change the world story. Just think about it. In your case(& mine)cupcakes are a wonderful & creative idea/tool toward promoting change. You are probably thinking how?? I don't have time.. I have nothing to offer. If all you have is the ability to make cupcakes, it enough.

The truth is we all have something to offer & its entirely possible to make/find time. If you find yourself wondering what is the point to life? What is my purpose? Why am I on the earth? You are asking the wrong questions. Your fulfillment could lie
in something as simple & trivial as giving cupcakes to people.THINK.ABOUT.IT. Everybody loves cupcakes. Everyone needs to feel valued. Everybody can get inspired with one great creative idea. CUPCACAKES!

Let me give you some creative ideas:

1: You could host a cupcake tasting event(selling tickets or perhaps a raffle) at your child's school & the proceeds could go to the local soup kitchen etc.

2: You could spend take cupcakes to your old age home to cheer up everyone's day.

3: You could start a kindnes campaign giving out cupcakes to strangers & encouraging them to give something (creative ideas) to others.

4: You could get a list of underprivileged children & plan a picnic or cupcake party (see my ideas QUIRKY CUPCAKES FOR KIDS) for them that will never be forgotten

5:You could go over to a neighbour or family that's going through a tough time & take them a tray with their favourite cupcakes & a card from you family to let them know that there is support & love when thy need it.

Creative ideas are endless...

The above is really just some ideas, you will know you community & how cupcakes can bring joy to others. I recently spoke to a lady who was brought up in a orphanage. She wasn't bitter or angry, in fact she reminisced about those years, because some youth evangelists took the time to listen & counsel every child/teen. They were taken on picnics & outings. You never know how far a cupcake & a smile can go in someones heart & life. That kind lady that I met is who she is, because someone cared enough to take the time to do something creative, execute the idea & instill confidence & value in who she was & is, as a person. Of course the biggest difference in her life is Jesus Christ. But you might be able to make that difference for someone with something as small & insignificant as a cupcake. You just might have a purpose & a calling after all.
