Twitter cupcakes on the first day of SXSW Interactive

These Twitter cupcakes aren't actually related to SXSW, the film, music and tech festival going on in Austin, Texas, starting today, but they are related to technology so I wanted to share them and ask you if you're doing any special SXSW cupcakes. I saw on Twitter that Baked by Melissa will be; I'll be in Austin from Saturday to Tuesday, and while Cupcakes Take the Cake isn't having a party this year, we'd love to keep up with the cupcake giveaways and any news. Email us at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com with "SXSW" in the subject line or Tweet at us @cupcakeblog on Twitter.

The interesting thing about these cupcakes by London's Crumbs and Doilies is that I saw them a few weeks ago when someone posted them on Twitter, made for, as you can see, @jinen, but they've also popped up on the Crumbs and Doilies' blog. They're fun and personal. Sweet, right? Find out more about Crumbs and Doilies at crumbsanddoilies.co.uk and, of course, follow them @crumbsandoilies on Twitter.

Yes, Mother's Day cupcakes are already here, plus kids' cupcake decorating class in London

We haven't even gotten to St. Patrick's Day or Easter, but already cupcake bakers are touting their Mother's Day cupcakes, so for the big planners out there, here are two examples of what I'm sure will be many more Mother's Day cupcakes.

If you want to learn how to decorate your own Mother's Day cupcakes, they are holding a Mother's Day cupcake class on March 27th for kids! "Our kids cupcake class will teach your child not only how to pipe using different flavoured buttercreams but also decorate cupcakes using edible glitter, dragees and sugar flowers. The class will be held on the 17th March between 12pm-2pm by our Pastry Chef Kate Donnan. Your child will enjoy a fun and creative class and at the end take home 12 cupcakes that will make Mother's Day that extra special."

Fashion week cupcakes! Leopard print for Beyoncé's label House of Dereon and fashion designer cake pops, including Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour and Vivienne Westwood

It's New York Fashion Week, so even though these London fashion cupcakes and cake pops were made in the UK, they count for the spirit they bring and the fun style, and fashion is international, anyway.

They're by Molly Bakes Cupcakes, via their Facebook page. Their cake pops are sold at Selfridge's and they do custom orders; find out more by emailing info at mollybakes.co.uk or calling 02072411740.

As if that weren't enough, check out these fashion designer cake pops, which were made for a British Fashion Council Christmas party, via Facebook.
