Cupcakes Anyone? Let's Teach From The Begining!

I woke up thinking about cupcakes this morning and how to teach young aspiring bakers the art of cupcakery and stumbled on this fun book on The Book Depository. Offered at $12.09 ($15CND) this book is a great resource for those 7 and up looking to make fun cupcakes for bake sales, parties and more. With this years doll Grace opening her own side business I thought this would be a fun book. I can not wait to get this one and make those piggy cupcakes!

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!
