Barbie® Adores Katy Perry…and Cupcakes!


Deviating a little off topic, but still in the general cupcake area, I want to introduce to you the brand new Katy Perry Cupcake doll, which has stolen my heart and put itself right at the top of the 'things I want most at the moment' list! (or the TIWMATML, if you want a nifty acronym)


It's so brilliantly girly, it's untrue!

Designed by Amy Lee for Mattel, this doll is a one off limited edition, which is currently being auctioned in aid of Project Angel Food, a charity working to help feed men, women and children, suffering from life threatening illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and Cancer.

Each cupcake has been individually crafted and hand painted (or so I read) to create a perfect scaled replica of the dress worn by Katy, during the first leg of her California Dreams Tour earlier this year.

Ahh it's soo pretty - I want it - it'd look amazing in my Barbie collection!


The perfect purchase for any Katy Perry/Barbie/Cupcake lover!

The only down-side is that it's expected to go for somewhere in the region of $15,000, (£9,617) which is great for the charity, but not so great if you're me - ah well!
If you want to bid on it for me (or yourself) you can do so here: http://www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/barbie/catalog_items/291300

So as Katy says, bid now to benefit a very worth while cause!

Happy Baking!

Celebrity Birthday Cakes

If you're rich and famous, then you're gonna want a cool birthday cake - and boy do these guys know how to buy cake... Take a look at some of the best celebrity Birthday Cakes of the last twelve months!

1. Fearne Cotton
There's only really one word for this cake and that's 'Wow.'
Made by Fancy Nancy Cakes in Essex, this is probably one of the best cakes I've ever seen!

2. Darren Criss
I love this picture for so many reasons, but mainly because it contains my two favourite things - Darren Criss and Cake! (Yay on both accounts)
But look at the cake... It's a giant pair of Pink Cake Sunglasses - Even if you're not a Starkid that's got to be Totally Awesome? Yes? Yes!


3. Katy Perry
Made for Katy Perry by the incredibly talented Albert Kahiau Ontiveros at Kahiau's Kakes, this Willy Wonka inspired masterpiece is certainly one to take your breath away!
- I think I'm a bit in love with it, it's sooo pretty :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the oompa Lumpas


Finally...

4. Gary Barlow
Take That legend Gary Barlow is 40 - who knew?! I certainly didn't, but just look at this beautiful cake - I adore it - Especially the little sugar craft figures - very cute!


Feeling inspired? I know I am (and everso slightly jealous...ahem)
I don't know if I'm ready to attempt cake art just yet, but who knows, maybe one day... until then I'm happy enough to wow over these!


If you have any comments drop me a line, but until next time... Happy Baking!
