I Wanna Cup Your Cakes

Mmmm cupcakes.  Everyone loves them.  Okay, maybe not everyone but the people who hate cupcakes are the same people who hate puppies, hugs, mixtapes and laughter. 

Today, I stumbled across these cupcakes on Dorie Greenspan’s blog and squealed like a little girl.  It’s embarassing but I’m weirdly obsessed with panda bears.  Half because they are such lazy cuddle monsters and half because that was my nickname in college.  I used to do somersaults in the hallways.  Umm, for fun?  (Sidenote: I was/am a fan of the drink.)  These agile acrobatics were referred to as “panda rolls,” and from that the Panda nickname was born.  Also, I’m Asian and my friends are racist. 

Penguins are also cool but only because pandas + penguins = PANDENGUINS.  Once, my roommate drew me a birthday card and there was a pandenguin on the front of it.  I wish I still had it so I could show everyone what it would look like if a penguin and a panda did the nasty.  But, I digress.

Sooo, these little bundles of edible cuteness all come from the book, Hello Cupcake! which is full of great ideas for jazzing up your cupcakes.  Also, I saw it on Martha Stewart and she knows her shit … you know, from being in the clink.
