Let's Have Cupcakes...craft, make or to buy!


Cupcakes are such a wonderful addition to any doll play collection and today I am thinking about Cupcakes for dolls and their girls!

 I have made many of these cupcakes for my nieces as crafts to share in the dolly world and written about cupcakes for dolls on Etsy. Today I am sharing with you how you can bring more cupcakes into your doll play by making some like from my tutorials (Click here to see how to make your own for your dolls) or from the tutorial links provided below or by purchasing some ready made on Etsy. As well as how to incorporate doll cupcakes with real cupcakes for a birthday party or tea party.
For a very small investment in some oven bake polymer clay such as Sculpey from your local craft store you can make your own doll sized treats from my tutorial 
A while back a reader introduced me to Jessie Raye's Etsy Shop and her cupcakes are some of my most favorite doll sized treats to order and send to friends and family. This cupcake is one of my favorite's I love the soft colors and the way it sparkles. Offered at $3.99 this is a true delight for a doll lover and these wonderful treats fit perfectly in a Halloween treat bag, Loot bag or Dolly Advent Calender and Stocking.
 Jessie Raye has a wonderful assortment of dolly cupcakes you can buy one or you can buy a bunch, she is great with custom orders as well click here for her shop and let her know I sent you!


For those of you talented with a hook why not try crochet for dolly cupcakes. I wish I had this talent these are fantastic and this free pattern is from HooksandYarn's Blog Click here to find out how you can make your own! Once you figure out how to make these girl sized treats try to make a smaller version and share with the dolly's too!


For those of you like me that are a fan of two sticks...ie Knitting how about this fun free pattern click here for free pattern from knittingpatternsgalore!

I do hope that today's post has not given you O.C.D but if it has I would love to see what  you make! Be sure to email me a photo at karennmowen@gmail.com

  1. These look great!
    You could stage a doll food fight with the knitted/crocheted ones. Of course, that would be a waste of a perfectly good cupcake. ;-)
