Gorgeous and delicious cupcakes from Frosted in Honolulu, Hawaii

I owe you a longer post about Frosted, based in Honolulu, Hawaii, which is coming, but before I get a chance to do that I wanted to share the beautiful and delicious cupcakes I got to taste, courtesy of Frosted owner Melissa, while I was in town. They were gorgeously decorated and, without being heavy, were wonderful and rich, the kinds of cupcakes you want to finish, but don't need to finish in order to feel like you've eaten something delicious. The first three photos are by me, the rest are via Facebook, and the last photo is of custom music cupcakes, via Frosted on Facebook, by KAI-PHOTO HAWAII. Frosted does custom cupcakes and cakes and asks for several months notice for weddings. Find out more at frostedhawaii.com.

Sparkly s'mores cupcakes every which way by Amanda Cupcake

One of the things I'm most excited about regarding my first trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin this weekend is getting to meet blogger and baker Amanda Cupcake of Waupaca, Wisconsin, who bakes up all kinds of sparkly cupcake and cake pop treats. S'mores is one of my favorite cupcake flavors and she does them in all kinds of ways, as you can see below: extra blinged out glittery cupcakes, cupcakes in jars, cake pops (okay, a marshmallow pop), ice cream cone cupcakes! I love her spirit and that on her about section on Facebook she describes herself as "Cupcake Artist/Chemist/Bringer of Happiness."

Visit her at amandacupcake.blogspot.com and on Facebook for ordering information and I'll have a first-person report soon. All photos via Amanda Cupcake on Flickr. She can be reached at msamandacupcake at gmail.com or 920-915-3409.
