Earlier this year I posted a cute candy button display that my friend Julie made following a tutorial on a website called Bake it Pretty. And even though I had heard of and seen their site, I had not really looked around it all that much… until recently.

**Warning… enter their site at your own risk or else you might just leave it with a whole bunch of stuff you didn’t know you had to have…

IMG_6274

… like these superty-duperty cute baking cups.

They sell lots of fun designs you probably won’t find in your local craft or grocery store…

IMG_6277

… unless you can read this.

IMG_6278

or know where to find these.

IMG_6253

If you visit them, you might be tempted by shiny things.

IMG_6207

Or these. I was forced to buy them in several colors…

IMG_6255

… and sizes.

The website made me do it. I promise. I mean if I just bought one color, which one?

Red? Of course, but what about black? How often do you come across black gingham print baking cups? Or orange? Or blue?

You know… I didn’t even need any more baking cups. Like for the next couple of years … I’m good.

IMG_6214

But, then there’s these. I mean how cute can you get?

It’s funny – right before I found them I was wanting to make some popcorn bucket cupcakes, but figured I would have to make my own wrappers because I knew I would never find any with stripes. So instead I made these flat brownie popcorn bags. Then, right after making them, voila – perfect little cups.

And now, I can’t bring myself to even bake in them. They’re so cute I don’t want to be without them. I just want to look at them. Is that weird?

Don’t answer that.

IMG_6280

And the cute little poem doesn’t hurt either.

IMG_6235

More baking cups. These, like the striped ones stand up on their own. You can place them right on a baking sheet and go.

However, I haven’t used these yet either. I have a problem.

IMG_6263

I worked my way through all the sections of the site and couldn’t leave without having these tapes and twine in my life.

IMG_6238

And look at these cute little twist ties in pink, purple and tiny hearts.

Adorable.

But they don’t hold a candle to these…

IMG_6240

Dying over here. Plus, they’re kinda perfect for packaging cake pops.

IMG_6224

You can even make your drinks look cute. Love these straws.

If you want to see them in action, check out how good they look with Tartelette’s ice cream sandwiches. Not that her pictures aren’t already perfection.

IMG_6286

And look, a button mold.

I had to have one of these, too. You know – just in case I ever want to make my own candy button display like this one.

IMG_6288

P.S. – I may or may not have also purchased these not exactly kid friendly candies. But, if I did – the website made me do that, too.

  1. I cannot stop buying workout skirts. Everytime I see one in a new color or style I have to have it!

  2. gel tints for frosting & ribbon – I use ribbon for scrapbooking pages & cupcakes.

  3. Scrapbooking stuff!! I haven’t scrapbooked in over a year (a bit difficult with a 2 year old who wants to touch EVERYTHING) but whenever I see cute ribbon, buttons, stickers, paper, whatever, I just have to buy it (“For when I start scrapbooking again”…) It’s a disease!

  4. Cute T-shirts. I have way too many.

  5. I can’t stop buying cake mixes! I also couldn’t help myself from buying party wigs for my Birthday. :) Great giveaway!

  6. Books, books, books!

  7. I can’t stop myself from buying cute crafty things. mostly yarn, for knitting and crochet-ing, but also colored chocolate and sprinkles. I L O V E sprinkles!!

  8. I can’t stop myself from buying cookbooks!

  9. I can’t stop buying dresses for my 4yo granddaughter. But come on! Cute seersucker sundresses at the thrift store for a dollar or two! How could I not buy them?!?

    And I TOTALLY get the -not wanting to use it because then I won’t HAVE it- thing, I do that all the time. I have actually had sprinkles SPOIL because I had had them for years!

  10. Shoes…a girl loves shoes.

    And cookie cutters! A friend recently asked me to bake some carnival shaped cookies for her son’s 1st birthday party this August, and I told her I was so excited to have a reason to buy cookie cutters! She told me I was obsessed. But the husband won’t mind me buying more if I HAVE to for a friend :)

  11. I love the Green Apple Star Party Cups… so cute!

  12. Oh my gosh! Crossing my fingers that I win! I can’t help buying muffin cups and colored sugar! mm mm!

  13. I am addicted to lipstick. I don’t know how many times I’ve bought a new tube only to find out that I already have that shade.

    As I announced at work a couple of weeks ago, the world would be a better place if we utilized more cupcakes!

  14. I love buying cute cupcake papers, but then hate to use them!

  15. I would have to get all of the the moustache items. Love the moustache lollipop mold! Then of course, I would need the items to make the moustache lollipops. Oh, I need the sticks for them also. I could keep this up all day.

  16. COATS! I have so many, and now that I get major hot flashes (I just had a hysterectomy) I never wear them! :( Doesn’t stop me from wanting to buy them, even in the summer! Wierd, huh?

  17. I am obsessed with cupcake liners and sprinkles too! I buy them even when I don’t need them!

  18. I have a problem with cupcake wrappers. I have liners for every season, holiday, or just because.. I can’t stop myself when I see a new pattern. I just have to have it! I could probably bake cupcakes everyday for 2 years with what I have right now!

  19. I have used the larger size cupcake papers that stand on their own – they’re awesome!
    I’m gonna have to check out that website – I need some of those things.

  20. Kitchen Gadgets….My husband just rolls his eyes … but his belly sure likes my obsession!!!

  21. How adorable is EVERYTHING on that site??? I ordered three sets of baking cups…. I’m glad I could stop myself there (mostly because my boyfriend was looking over my shoulder and judging). But if it were free… imagine what I could get :)

  22. I MUST buy stationary on a regular basis. I also can’t pass the scrapbook aisles without getting some little something…it’s the little pleasures! :)

  23. cute, cute, cute!

  24. these are so cute, I would love to win this

  25. Cupcake liners! A cute little boutique/ garden cafe just started selling my cupcakes! I love the ones on this website! More to buy!!!!! (sigh). I also buy cake decorating toys and cookbooks. This is my weakness now instead of clothes! I may have to make my liners into clothes one day(lol). THanks for this new site.

  26. What an amazing site!…almost as interesting as yours!

    I think I love the edible glitters.

  27. OMG…I Love the Bake It Pretty website! I would have to buy as many cupcake baking cups as I could. They are absolutely adorable. My husband would kill me if he knew how much I spent on baking supplies!!

  28. I can’t stop buying… um, food? I’m a college student with absolutely no spending money, so I’ve been forced to cut back a LOT of what I want. But if I won that voucher… well, I don’t even know what I’d get, but something pretty, like some silver stand-alone cupcake cups or edible flowers. So cute!

  29. What WOULDN’T I buy? I love the ties, the jimmies, the baking cups, the cupcake kits, the cupcake floss(!), etc.

  30. I love your appreciation of cute things!! I couldn’t stop from buying cute Korean and Japanese stationery sets. More recently, I’m realizing I am always ALWAYS buying chocolate! I can’t stop…I’m a shopchocoholic!

  31. I’ve bought a bunch of cooking tools that I feel like I need, but I can’t think of a reason to use them more than once a year. But I love them.

  32. I love the popcorn baking cups. Too cute!! I can’t stop buying stickers. They’re great motivation for my 2 year old…I am almost sad to give them to him though because they always end up stuck on the bottom of a shoe…

  33. I love all cupcake wrappers i just did my son’s 3 birthday! With Red Fireturcks. I love all the things that go on top to decorate them!! AWESOME!

  34. Lately, I have found myself hoarding cupcake papers, sprinkles, and all other kinds of cupcake adornments (I really like edible glitter, too!).

  35. Shoes, kitchen gadgets, and bags/purses. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those popcorn liners and button molds! How precious!

  36. I love this! They are adorable! I often find myself wandering down baking aisles picking up all sorts of cupcake liners and this site may have me looking for hours :) The one thing I can’t stop myself from buying is purses. Oh my! If I walk through target and they have a 30% off purse I can’t resist it.

  37. about a year ago I started to make cakeballs and everyone at work has gone crazy for them. My family also loves them. Now I am making 100 for my little cousins first communion this weekend! Wish me luck.

    PS I pre-ordered your cake pop book on amazon.com

  38. PICK ME! PICK ME! I can’t stop myself from buying patterned rubber spatulas! =) they’re my favorite and make my crock look extra pretty =)

  39. Books… and kitchen gadgets-definitely kitchen gadgets.

  40. I can’t stop myself from buying anything for my kids. But I’m also a chronic returner. I always have buyers remorse and end up taking anything I buy for myself back. So, if someone else is buying it, I can keep it :-)

  41. I can’t stop myself from Cake decorating tools and cookbooks

  42. Recently, I’ve had to learn how to stop myself from buying nearly everything, but previous “must have” purchasing obsessions include:

    -vintage wall hooks
    -pretty gemstones for jewelery I plan on making someday, but may very well never get to (seriously out of hand collection)
    -interesting salt and pepper shakers

  43. I couldn’t pick just one of these adorable things! I absolutely love all things cute & cupcake-worthy!!

  44. You are hilarious! I love reading your blog. I would for sure have to have about fifty different kinds of baking cups!!

  45. I can’t stop buying solid colored v-neck t shirts! You know the ones at old navy for like $5? I don’t know why, I think I own the whole rainbow by now. But I always convince myself they’re such a bargain and go with anything…and then I never wear them. At least my closet looks cute?

  46. Shoes….but I’m sure that’s a pretty typical answer from most women, right? I’m motivated by the fact that I can eat as much cake as I want and my shoes still fit even when everything else doesn’t :).

  47. Oh my heck! I’m in love with this store! What have you done Bakerella! I’m going to go broke for sure!

    The one thing I can’t pass up purchasing is paper. I love paper. Colored paper. textured paper. Origami paper. Handmade. Sketch. Tracing. I love paper.

  48. it’s just all so pretty! I can’t decide..I need..more…time!!

  49. I’m a sprinkle junkie. Can’t resist sprinkles. Also, cute paper and cardstock. That stuff is adorable!

  50. Such cute stuff!!

  51. I am a sucker for cute packaging! Which includes judging books by their covers.

    And even if I don’t win, thank you Bakerella for your website. I’ve been reading since it was a wee blog and you have been so inspirational. :)

  52. OMG, everything you got is soooo cute! I also have a “problem” with cupcake liners, so that’s where I would start if I go to that website.

    exoduslaughin -at- yahoo -dot- com

  53. I used to be addicted to scrapbooking stuff, but now baking stuff is taking over, I love everything you posted, I need it all!

  54. I can’t stop buying different sprinkles and cup cake papers. I haven’t baked in about 6 months but that doesn’t stop me from collecting!

  55. I am so in. I love all the baking cups and even though my shelves runneth over I’ll manage to fit more in.

  56. Earrings. I love adding to my collection. And they have to be dangly. I just went on a two night trip and took about 8 pairs of earrings because I didn’t know which ones I would feel like wearing. I’m a sucker for purses and dressers too, but the cost makes those more prohibitive.

  57. I can’t stop myself from buying baking pans. There’s always an excuse to add to the collection!

  58. I love everything…. I have just starting baking for others and every time I turn around I am buying something that I “THINK” I just have to have. The bad thing is, my husband is right beside me saying ” get this or get that”. He’s such a big help. I can’t wait to show him all the baking cups. I can’t stop buying things that I think I will use someday on a cake, cookie or even cup cakes. My selves are full and I don’t know were I can put anything else. But I keep on buying. Gota Love it!!!!!!

  59. I’m not addicted to buying any one thing, but I love pretty things and there are so many pretty things at that website. (The pink & red popcorn buckets are adorable.) Thanks for a great giveaway!

  60. I can’t resist buying craft supplies… it’s a major weakness of mine!

  61. Love the cupcake liners, have been searching for cute ones, and these are by far the cutest!!

  62. I LOVE the cupcake tins and the I love chocolate twist ties!

  63. i often dream that we are best friends and have the greatest time playing in your kitchen. my mom always told me it’s not polite to invite yourself over to someone else’s house – but oh please, can i come over?!?!?!
    these finds are just to-die-for!

  64. ME ME ME!! Please random computer program pick me! This is the perfect way to treat myself as I enter my last week in my 20’s!

  65. I can’t stop buying cocoa powder!

  66. COOKBOOKS! and, oddly, Stamps…. I can’t seem to find a cookbook or a stamp I don’t need! We all have our vices… oh those popcorn buckets and that twine, they just make me swoon! What a find!

  67. Anything food related! I love the cupcake liners.

  68. I love Bake It Pretty so much! I ordered some cupcake wrappers awhile back but it’s definitely time for more!

  69. Lately, I cannot stop myself from buying cake sprinkles! I might need black and white cow confetti someday for something you know! Thank you so much for the chance Bakerella, have a great day!

  70. Almost anything for baking or cooking I have a problem with self control when it comes to shopping.

  71. This giveaway is pretty much my dream come true!

    I am have been eyeing lots of packaging items at the site. My wedding is coming up and I have visions of using the cute retro popcorn bags filled with goodies in the welcome suite.

  72. I love to buy plastic boxes or containers to keep in them whatever I can find to store…I love the container isle on stores like Home Depot or Lowes…I almost always leave with something from that isle!!!

  73. Plates and bowls
    I still live at home with my parents while I’m in school, and so there’s absolutely no use for them. But I keep thinking ‘one day I’ll use them. One day I’ll need them.’
    one day is at least two years away, but I’ll have tons and tons of plates when that day comes.
    I also have a target $1 bin addiction. I can’t walk through without buying something.

  74. I can’t help buying cookie cutters. If I see a different or unique cutter I must have it. I go nuts for them.

    I love the different colours

  75. The two things I can’t keep myself from buying are books and treats…they get me every time!

  76. I love cupcake wrappers!!

  77. Anything on sale! Clothes, trinkets, clothes for my daughter, books, pretty much anything on sale and my control is gone….but hey-at least it was on sale!

  78. Oh my gosh, I am having a heart attack here, I want all of those and a lot more. I started praying to win this time, I never wanted to win anything this bad. Oh God, pleases, please, please, let me win this one …….

  79. Shoes and cake mix… I heart cake

  96. I love those baking cups! The shiny ones are my favorite. I can’t stop buying books. I’ve already filled all my bookshelves. At least it’s easy to give used books away or donate them to the library so that others can enjoy them too!

  100. Wow, all those cups are so cute, and the buttons? Please!

  101. Oh my gosh….this stuff is so adorable!!! I am an avid scrapbooker and love to have parties so I am constantly buying anything that I think that I could theme a get together around. One of my biggest annual get-to-gethers is I host BUNCO in May every year….and every year I HAVE to do it bigger and better than the last. These products would be perfect!!!!

  102. I have trouble stopping myself from buying chocolate! And it’s hard to pass on good deals on cute baby stuff for my one year old daughter.

  103. I love cookie cutters. My favorite is a little caterpillar cutter I bought for our youngest’s 1st birthday party. He loved “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” book by Eric Carle (still does!). I made a caterpillar cake too…both turned out great!

  104. I am seriously addicted to containers – any containers: baskets, boxes, bags, bowls, pitchers, suitcases, hat boxes, tins, picnic hampers! I love to sort and organize. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!

  105. Okay, I’m in trouble now! I’m a fool for paper goods full of cuteness. Napkins, paper plates, notepads and now cupcake liners!

  114. oh. my. goodness. wow. too cute.

  115. Yay!!! Who can resist these things! I have to say, My breathe was taken away when I saw the white and red striped baking cups… the ones that look like teeny popcorn buckets… Finger’s crossed!

  116. I am definitely most likely to go overboard on baking cups! And anything that will make my food adorable :-) I just can’t resist! I’ve been told that I might have a problem… but since baking hasn’t yet been acknowledged as an addictive activity, I’m going to assume I’m fine!

  117. my #1 thing to buy is SHOES!!! ahhh i cant stop!!! but let me tell you that everytime im on the computer i stop and take a look at what your doing on here cause i just might need to bake that night!!! the damask cupcake papers are fabulous!!! muah!!

  119. I cannot stop buying candy molds and cupcake liners! I have my own cupcake business and everything is so cute and it has become an addiction!

  120. OK, I’ll admit it…handmade soaps. I just love them and blame my friend for hooking me on these.

  121. I think I’m in love! I seriously couldn’t stop looking. I finally settled on 2 cupcake kits – the circus party and the bridal shower. Seriously, so cute!

  122. OK, here goes:

    Catie

  125. Hello, just wanted to say thanks for all of the inspiration. My friend turned me on to your site not too long ago and I love it.
    These baking cups are so adorable. And don’t worry, if you’re strange than I am too. I love looking at all my cute little baking supplies. It does become hard for me to use some of them. I can’t stop myself from buying anything for the kitchen. I love new gadgets and baking supplies! I tell my husband he has his tools, I have mine.
    Thanks for all of the great ideas!

  126. Chocolate molds and food colors and pretty baking cups, oh my!

  127. I have a big problem with CLEARANCE items. Even if it’s something I don’t necessarily need if it’s a good price I just can’t NOT buy just in case I might need it later!

    I love everything with dots… or cute stripes… or flowers. And I buy a lot of kitchen stuff. I might have a problem. But the cta stuff makes me happy ^^

  132. Good question. Actually at the moment I don’t have a good answer. I have had to use much self control lately and haven’t bought anything for some time. I can’t remember what my weakness is. :) Oh well, I would certainly have fun buying cute baking stuff if the opportunity became available!

  133. Can’t stop buying books- any of my favorite “how to books. How to paint, how to sew, how to make cards, how to bake cupcakes and all other goodies!!!! Can’t wait for your book to come about either!

  134. can’t stop buying colored marshmallows! Love to make MM fondant and buying different colored marshmallows means I don’t have to knead in color. I buy a bag every time I see them!

  135. I have a problem with scrapbook paper…I have hundreds of sheets!!I love it!! the only problem is sometimes…I love it so much that I dont use it cause I just dont know if I can find a better project for it….its a sickness really! :)

  136. I can’t stop buying shoes and cute bento/lunchbox accessories! Thanks for having this giveaway!

  137. Oh wow! I can’t stop myself from buying anything with vintage flower prints… anything! Love it.

  138. I have a craving for scrapbook paper. Mainly solid color cardstock. I just can’t help myself! And when it is on sale…….well, what can I say?

    I love to bake too, and these are just the cutest ever!

  139. i am in LOVE with the sweet candy cutter, the twine, the animal print baking cups, the tea cup cakes! Really there’s just too much to want!

  140. ever since i discovered your website, (and cake pops!) i can’t stop buying tiny candies!! any and all differently shaped, colored, sized candies….you never know when you just might need that particular one!!!!

  141. the one thing i can’t stop buying is coca-cola, it’s my only real addiction.

  142. Can’t stop buying yarn. Am a knitting junkie.

  143. I can’t pass up Brighton jewelry. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I know there will things at this website that I can’t pass up, too. I just can’t show it to my daughter, or she will want everything, too.

  144. I just bought the gingham cupcake liners, and I cannot live without some type of cute cupcake liners. I would love some great americolor gels and pretty much everything on bake it pretty! I have a long wish list there. :)

  145. Oh my gosh! I don’t know if I can live another day without those adorable popcorn bucket cups!!

  146. I love Bake It Pretty – their stuff is so cute! I’m addicted to baking supplies too…..maybe there is some type of support group for people like us! My husband thinks I need help :)

  147. Oh, those baking cups. I would go crazy buying those.

  148. Bare Escentuals makeup… I hate the price, but LOVE the way it feels.

  149. I love the peacock liners! Super cute. I love to buy everything related to baking/cooking…even if I don’t need it. ;) I also love to spend money on traveling!

  150. I’m usually pretty frugal, but my most frequent splurge is cake decorating supplies! :)

  151. Hi Bakerella :-D
    So I’m reading down through this posting .. trying hard to be good… but finding myself making a mental “to purchase” list… and wondering whom, if I forwarded the email to along with my “I want list”, might actually order the stuff for me ( o;-p) …and then I see that YOU are willing to. How wonderful is that?!!! How generous!

    So, what would I like to order? Our grand daughter’s first birthday and party is coming up near the first of June, and I am making cupcakes. I was thinking of making a bunch of the mini size as well as regualr size ones. See her uncles are our sons whom are now all in their twenties. We had four sons. But now there is a grand daughter!!! :-) So I can get away with doing ‘girlie’ things, and “the boys” don’t tease me quite as bad if I also make some their preferred size. I’m thinking of using white with pink polka dot papers and filling them with my home made choc. cake, with choc. cream cheese/butter frosting, and then adding white and pink polka dots (made from other frostings) to the top.

    But I also REALLY liked those gingham type of paper cups!!! We are again doing the food for our church’s Labor Day retreat come fall, and we do one picnic themed meal – cupcakes in red and white papers for dessert would be a huge hit!!!

    And then …. goodness. I’d best stop o;-p

  152. I keep saying i’m going to stop buying cute things for my kitchen, but it never seems to work!

  153. I can’t stop buying anything cake and cookie related! However, lately it’s cookie cutters…I have over 400 and counting.

  154. I can’t stop buying deals. Whenever I see a good deal, I fall for it and stock up. 99cent sodas, 2 for 1 cake mixes, buy one get one free, 2 for $5, Buy one get one 1/2 off… It just gets the best of me…. :)

  155. I love the Best Ever Cupcake Icing Kit! I want to get better at icing and need some guidance!

  156. I can’t stop myself from buying fun pens — I LOVE them… Staples is the devil!

  157. You may have just created a monster… I had no idea how badly I need all of the things you just posted!

  158. I cannot stop myself from buying cupcake adornments and cute things such as gable boxes, paper straws and other super cute party accessories.

  159. anything welsh corgi related, love it!

  160. Love these! I was saying OMG with every picture! I soo need the pink gingham cupcake holders!! I cant stop my self from buying anything girly and pink and i used to hate pink! Ever since having my daughter almost 2 years ago i have been obsessed and time is almost here for her 2nd birthday cake. Of course PINK CASTLE And now cupcakes in the pink gingham!!!

  161. Too cute!!! I can’t stop myself from buying so much “stuff” at the grocery store. I really need to make a list when I go!!

  162. I had to laugh about the “not-so kid-friendly” item you happen to get in your order….I LOVED these when I was a kids, they were so fun to play with and EAT, okay & CHEW. LOL!! I liked the white hard ones because you could burn them and it tasted like roasted marshmellow. Thanks for the flashback. :)

    PS. I really enjoy visiting your webpage and seeing what you are making. Been following you for only 2 years and it’s been a strain on the wasteline.

  163. Oh I have this problem too — I have more cupcake liners than I could use in a year yet I’m still obsessed with them. Those red and white striped cups are adorable — I’m going to have to get some but I think they will be perfect for candy cane cupcakes at Christmas – if I can hold off on using them until then.

  164. I am addicted to Fiesta Ware! I registered for Fiesta for my wedding was blessed with many gifts. I only live an hour from the Fiesta Ware plant and I count down the days to the Tent Sale!

  165. I love to buy scrapbook supplies. I like scrapbooking, but buying beautiful papers and embellishments is just as much fun. :)

  166. I just got a few cupcake liners and sprinkles in my school colors from Bake It Pretty to make my own cupcakes for graduation from KU. I don’t want to pay for some expensive and horrible-tasting cupcakes from the grocery store! But really, it’s the liners that get me.

  167. I love the kits!!! I love to bake and use any excuse to bake. Now that I have found a website with cute wrappers I think I’m going to have to buy a bunch of them and bake up some super cute pirate cupcakes, I mean, how cute are they?!

  168. Oh man. I have an absolute *problem* when it comes to perennials. Apparently I just can’t have enough. And even when I say “NO MORE! You have enough plants!!” I wander through a store or garden center (innocently enough) and end up finding a package of bulbs or plant I just have to have… This even just happened on Saturday, when I bought 5 new packs of bulbs (all of which need to be lifted in fall – making my life easy, that’s what I do *sarcasm*) And have created a new garden area in the yard out of necessity lol… see… problem buyer!
    I’m not even going to GO to that site – I’d surely *have* to buy a few things!

  169. I can’t stop buying anything baking related. Pans, baking cups, sugars, decorating sets, toppers, cookie cutters, etc. It’s so much fun to be creative, especially when you have kids to participate in the process and to enjoy the finished product.

  170. I’d get the India Tree Natural Food Coloring Set

  171. aww how cute!! i’d love to be able to pick some of these things!!!! :)

  172. I know it seems silly, bt I can’t stop myself from buying cloth diapers for my son. I bought a full stash – an even generous one – before he was born but there are soo many new things even since then and I want to try them all. Cloth diapers are addicting! Of course, I would probably be unable to stop myself from buying everything on the bakeitpretty website. That stuff is so cute I can’t stand it.

  173. anything for my new baby!

  174. My wee girl is due 1st September and I CANNOT stop myself buying her clothes. Toys; enough already (man i’m good) all the rest; getting there. But.. clothes.. had enough the day I started! I got her the cutest wee suede moccasins though; couldn’t resist! …. sigh…. whens my shopping spree!

  175. clothes and iced coffees/cappucino and sugar cookies!!

  176. Kitchen gadgets, vintage glasses and scrapbooking supplies. Oh, if it’s on TV, then my husband buys it! What an awesome giveaway!

  177. J.Crew
    hairbows for my kid
    cookbooks
    and now, I am sure Bake It Pretty… love it!

  178. Scrapbooking paper, and I don’t even scrapbook anymore!!

  179. O.M.G.!!!! I love EVERYTHING on that site!
    I have an addiction to buying several different things – kitchen stuff, office supplies, and scrapbooking supplies (which I rarely actually DO, but I have LOTS OF STUFF).
    Love you Bakerella – you’re such an inspiration!

  180. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to decide and would have to have it all – like you!!! This is the cutest stuff. I will have to have the popcorn buckets – I’m thinking Halloween with minature popcorn balls, cellophane and a ribbon just waiting for Trick or Treaters!

  181. Super cute stuff! I want all of it! I can’t stop myself from buying sprinkles.. I make cake pops all the time and have to try every diffrent kind of sprinkle!

  182. I want every cupcake liner available. I have been obsessed with making cupcakes for family and friends over the last month!!!! How cute would my cupcakes be with those liners!!

  183. I have a weakness for dishes!

  184. Oh how cute! I can never resist adorable things like these!

    The thing that I cannot stop myself from buying would definitely have to be stationery – coloured pens, pencils, adorable notebooks…I must have enough in my room by now to open my own shop! (.^_^)v

  185. These are adorable!!! I love the button molds and the popcorn cups are sooo cute! How do you find all of this cool stuff and have such awesome ideas every week?

  186. My weakness is stationery – paper, pens, erasers, etc., but especially notebooks. They come in so many sizes and shapes and colours and there’s just something about their emptiness (ready to be filled-ness) that is completely irresistible. I could stop buying notebooks now (although I won’t), and I probably wouldn’t use up my current supply until 2020. Kitchen gadgets come in a close second – I just imagine all the deliciousness I could make if I only had a dinosaur-shaped springform pan (just for instance)!

  187. i have a weird obsession with collecting pens… in pretty colors, grips, looks, and widths. and then they just sit around for a few years before i can use them…

    but i also love pretty papers, wrapping paper, scrapbook items.

    everything on that website is super cute.. i think i would have a hard time choosing what to get. cute overload.

  188. Thank you for writing about Bake It Pretty. I was actually looking for popcorn wrappers for VBS. These are cuter than others I have seen.

    My favorite things to buy are books (we homeschool, so I think I must need every book) and craft supplies, which includes cake stuff.

  189. Like you I cant help but buy cute baking items! I adore buying new cake pans all the time! I think my favorite is my giant cupcake one from Wilton, ahh the addiction!

  190. I have a shopping addiction in general. I can’t go anywhere without the urge to buy something!! I can see how this website might be addictive!!!

  191. Love the cupcake holders, I think they are so cute.
    Hope I win.

  192. Cookbooks, magazines about cooking, books about cooking, I’m out of control! I can’t wait to buy your book either!

  193. Ohh! so cute:) I know what the text on swedish saying too, i live in norway… I buy ALOT of unusual stuff. But i love stawberry Yoghurt Ice cream.

  194. I cant stop buying anything food related. I love to bake so this website Bake it pretty is perfect. I went there and it is so cute and I just want to buy everything.

  195. I just can’t resist buying cute papers for cupcakes. I think I’m going to need those gingham ones in every color, as well!

  196. I must admit that I collect baking cups/cupcake liners like a squirrel hoarding nuts!

  197. Bake it Pretty is a regular fav of mine!! I loooove oggling everything on there. :)

  198. Love all the cupcake holders and I think they are so cute. Hope I win.
