Cupcake Fun!

Once again its time to revisit cupcake fun! Over the last month or so I've notice more cupcakes making it into our everyday world. When you're looking for it, its surprising how prevalent they actually are! So for a bit of fun and and little relaxing here are a selection of free roaming cupcakes, free of the shackles of conformity.

First we have cupcakes on clothing. Actually this is something that I see quite commonly. Seems like cupcakes are doomed either to be eaten or worn. My mum and I were out looking for clothes for my little niece Sasha and we happened to come across some cute cupcake motifs.

Last week I checked my mobile usage through virgin online and surprisingly cupcakes had infiltrated there too! What do cupcakes have to do with mobile phones anyway? There she is hiding in the bottom right hand corner, quietly scheming and plotting how cupcakes will rise and one day take over the world!

Cupcakes aren't for humans only! Here I was thinking that only us humans could truly enjoy and appreciate a good cupcake. The people at Perfect Pet have tapped into the dog cupcake market and now our pets can enjoy a tasty treat too! The great thing about this cupcake is that it squeaks when you bite into it. I wish regular cupcakes could do that!

On a totally un-cupcake related topic I recently went to The Alchemist Bar on Brunswick street for a few drinks with some friends. I work as a scientist to pay for my food exploits and this bar was a little quirky for me. At work I use beakers to make up all sorts of things, but at Alchemist they use them to serve water...weird! So I had to take a photo.

And if you look closely you can see connect four in the back ground. It was a great night, we drank beer and played connect four! I felt like I was 15 again!

Nooo you don't want real cupcakes to squeak when you bite them.. then everyone would know if you were sneaking in a secret cupcake!

I love how companies are now using cupcakes to lure you into their sites and stores. The dog chew toy looks pretty real, though!

Drinking out of a beaker would definitely by spooky for me, maybe the more you use them for yucky purposes the stranger it is to drink out of them. Great cupcake photos - they must be taking over the world if they've infiltrated your phone service.

Unbelieveable! Now you point it out, I have seen cupcakes everywhere!

I love Connect Four - I always fancied myself a bit of a champion with that game - and Battleship too! Am SO buying the cupcake squeaky toy for my puppy hahaha. And I just noticed that everytime I read your blog I want a cupcake! Even when you're not actually posting about edible ones! =op

After what I put in beakers at work, it would be a bit difficult drinking from one (also a Scientist). What do cupcakes have to do with mobile phones? weird... but funny
