She Sells Seashells by the Seashore

Birthdays and other special events by the beach call for an appropriately-themed cupcake.  For this occassion, I topped theCaramel cupcakes with dark chocolate truffle seashells, starfish and seahorses.  The rich truffles perfectly complemented the dark chocolate cake and sweet caramel sauce in the center of the cupcake.  Plus, you can never go wrong with a little extra chocolate!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

On my neverending quest to find cupcake accessories, I think I may have come across the piece de resistance found only within the delicate confines of a robin's egg blue box.

Tiffany & Co. makes this adorable silver and enamel cupcake charm and bracelet.  The charm can be purchased separately (a great option for those who already have a Tiffany charm bracelet or wish to wear the cupcake as a pendant.

It's officially on my wish list <3
