Honestly, who doesn’t like cupcakes? Even my burliest of guy friends have decided there’s no better food to wash down with a beer than a pretty pink cupcake. Decorating cupcakes can be quite time-consuming, though. The last time I made some, I ran out of time, and therefore only brought nine to the party. But rather than throw the other three out (*Gasp* Sacrilege!), I popped ’em into the freezer to use later…
…Welcome to later! When my friend (who is a self-professed shopaholic) turned 21, I knew exactly what to give her as part of her present– a personalized cupcake.
The whole thing is edible, right down to the glitter… however, my friend was very reluctant to eat it; she told me she wanted to keep it forever. (Once she did break down and eat it, she said it was delicious. So if you were curious, the vanilla cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes take over the World freeze quite well.)
Because I didn’t feel pressured to churn out twelve or more perfectly-decorated cupcakes, I was able to take my time and enjoy creating the one. I see many personalized cupcakes in my future! Perhaps I’ll even go into business as a “Personalized Cupcake-Decorator”… hehe put that college education to good use! 🙂

What could be better on a birthday that an personalised pink cupcake?
It is sooooo cute! I totally understand why your friend didn’t want to eat it (although I am sure it was scrummy).

That is beautiful! You seriously make the most amazing cupcakes ever. And what a great tip to freeze them!
Exactly what recipe of frosting do you make from VCTOTW? I have not had much success with any of the white frostings.

Edible glitter! YES! This cupcake rocks down to every last detail. It’s much better than a giant cupcake, in my opinion. What a perfect birthday present! You are so thoughtful.

I would’ve had such a tough time taking a bite out of that cupcake, too. It’s just TOO PRETTY! I can’t get over how detailed everything is – even the “j. Crew” is perfect :o) Your friend is a lucky girl, and you are one talented CCV!

Wow, that’s INCREDIBLE. I wish someone would make that for my birthday! And you’re right, even the strongest of strong people buckle under the temptation of the mighty cupcake 🙂
The Vegan Snorkeler says
I am in awe of your cupcake decorating skills. I can see why your friend didn’t want to eat it at first! I didn’t even know edible glitter existed!
Mihl says
You are too cute! And a very talented baker.
Kumudha says
Delicious cupcakes!
Animal-Friendly says
Freezing cupcakes for later? THIS IS THE BEST IDEA EVER!!!! I love making cupcakes but usually don’t need a full dozen and half of a recipe only makes 6, which usually isn’t enough, so freezing the extras is such a good tip!
The cupcake for your friend is soooo cute. I don’t think I would ever be able to eat something so pretty (okay….that’s a lie. I’m sure it’s too good not to eat!)
Cookiemouse says
That cupcake is a work of art.
Bianca says
Cuteness! I love the idea of eating glitter! Your friend is super lucky. And thanks for the tip about freezing cupcakes, though they never last long enough in my house to freeze.
Happy Herbivore! says
