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…
… 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…
… unless you can read this.
or know where to find these.
If you visit them, you might be tempted by shiny things.
Or these. I was forced to buy them in several colors…
… 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.
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.
And the cute little poem doesn’t hurt either.
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.
I worked my way through all the sections of the site and couldn’t leave without having these tapes and twine in my life.
And look at these cute little twist ties in pink, purple and tiny hearts.
Adorable.
But they don’t hold a candle to these…
Dying over here. Plus, they’re kinda perfect for packaging cake pops.
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.
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.
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.
Want to pick out your own stuff?
Want me to foot the bill?
Okay, you talked me into it.

YAY guys! Have fun shopping. And thanks everyone for sharing your shopping compulsions. I’m in good company.
I have looked around on that site, and its like Christmas morning!! I cant stop from buying baking pans, especially springform pans.
I can’t stop buying cupcake liners and sprinkles!
Wow! So many things people like buying. I myself am a notebook girl. Any type of notebook. Size, shape, paper don’t matter – I even have one that’s a notebook necklace.
I just bought my 1st home and I can’t stop myself from buying furniture, art, blankets, and decorative pillows- I am out of control
Shoes!!
I have enough nail polish to help all of America get their nails done.
I love buying cake decorating tips….even though I have never used them in my life. I figure one day I might NEED them. Also anything craft related….
I cannot stop buying candy melts. I have a cupboard full of them, so the next time you post an adorable cake pop, I’ll be ready!
can’t stop myself from buying.. scrapbooking stuff like cute stickers!
Oh my that stuff is so cute I can’t stand it! My weaknesses are lotions, soaps, girly stuff like that.
For me it’s food. Honestly. Anything new I see in the grocery store, or anything that looks interesting. My grocery bill is outrageous :)
I can’t stop myself from buying children’s picture books.
I can’t stop buying cookbooks- but I just need to start using them more!
Shoes! There are so many options, a girl can never have enough! Plus, shoes can make almost any day better.
I could do a lot of damage on that website… It’s a good thing I don’t have money to spare haha.
I’m a sucker for anything baked goods. I’m always buying chocolate chips and cake mixes etc to make goodies with.
And coffee.. That’s just a necessity some days though. Haha
Candy, you name it if it has sugar it’s in my basket. Also cook books which is odd because I don’t like to cook. I like the precision of baking. I feel really bad too, like I have an orphanage of cook books. :( Maybe if I ever get married I’ll open one up. :)
Oh pleeeez pick me, I dream on her sight weekly, the stuff is sooooo cute! I will cross my fingers!
I can’t stop myself from buying “little” things that aren’t supposed to be little. For instance, I would love to live in a dollhouse and have all that tiny stuff!
Oh that site is a doozy for sure! I LOVE buying baking supplies… I looked around for way too long, adding things to my mental shopping cart!! I loved the Cupcake Wrappers, especially the Midnight Stars Cupcake Wrappers and the Blue Parade Wrappers. Of course I’d order the Animal Print Baking Cups (stinkin’ cute) and MINI-SIZE Vintage Damask Baking Cups and MINI-SIZE Tilt-a-whirl Cups, just thinking of the tiny little cupcakes in their cute little cups, I wouldn’t want to eat them either!!! And the party straws do rock!!
I find myself buying cake decorating supplies, especially, fondant in arrays of pretty colors. Oh, and cake decorating books. I can’t stop looking at the beautiful pictures!
I can’t stop myself from buying most anything crafty. I’ll get an idea in my head of something to make, buy all of the supplies, then get distracted and think of something else to make…
i can’t stop buying makeup!!! ahhhh
I have been on the this site before and shopped their adorable merchandise. I went a little crazy! Would love to go back with a gift certificate and get everything I missed! I can’t stop myself from buying stuff on eBay. Love it love it!
Ok, so I can’t seem to resist buying those fat quarters of quilter’s cotton they have at the craft store. It doesn’t matter what I go in there to buy, I inevitably lave with at least 3 squares of fabric. I have no idea what to use them for sometimes, I just like the cute patterns.
I definitely can’t stop buying muffin cups….all kinds, all sizes, you name it. You’re not the only one that can’t bear to bake in them. I just like having them. I understand your addiction. I also am addicted to sprinkles….love, love, love having a rainbow of choices although I have the same problem with bringing myself to use them. Oh well, at least they look pretty in the clear containers.
Wow……. what a great site, I see some order placing in my future……….
Awesome loot! I can’t stop buying scrapbooking papers! HELP
Oh my goodness, everything on the site is so adorable! I think I’ve fallen for the mushroom candy molds in particular.
I can’t stop myself from buying fabric. I keep buying more and more pretty cloth and never seem to do much with it because I’m afraid I’ll ruin it!
Yarn. I have so much yarn sitting around my house waiting to be knit into something fabulous. And let’s not even get into how many knitting projects I have going at the same time…
I can’t resist sprinkles! And then, mesmerized by their cuteness, I have trouble actually using them.
There are two things that I can’t seem to help myself from buying. 1) Baby clothes; everytime I walk into Target I am drawn to the baby clothes section to buy for my daughter who just turned one. 2) Scrapbooking stamps, paper, and accessories. I am trying not to be a paper “collector” and actually use it =) Thank you for having these great contests! Your site is so much fun!
I can’t stop buying scrapbook paper and get this…I don’t own a single scrapbook! I can’t stand it though it’s so pretty! Sure i’ve made a few cute cards and a few other cute crafts but no where near the amount of scrap paper I buy! It’s cheap, it’s cute and it stores in a drawer! Now that I’m moving though I have to face the reality that I possibly have a problem!
I also like to buy cheap kitchen dodads…and I also have a mental list of kitchen dodads I’d buy if I had real money to spend…this giveaway could help me alot with my problem with scrapbook paper…I could start buying more kitchen stuff! Yay!
Super cute stuff by the way!
I cant stop buying cupcake liners. I love making them for friends and they are so easy to give away!
Dear Bakerella,
I am absolutelly in love with stuff from Bake it Pretty!
I went to take a look at their website and found even other things that I adored, besides the ones you had choosen us!
There are a few things there that I really need to have and even if I don’t win here, I will have to buy them because they are too cute to live without! rsrsrsrs
The mini size Designer Baking Cups in Liv and Elizabeth patterns, the Metallic Damask Baking Cups in blue and pink, the sweet flower baking cases, the tea time cupcake fairy cake cases, the circus tent stripe party cups (like the ones you have purchased) and paper twist ties with red and pink hearts are just “can’t live without” items!
Thanks for showing us this treasure shop and I hope I can be picked! That way I will just pay for the international delivery which is usually a bit expensive….rsrsr
Kisses
Table linens are my weakness … tablecloths, napkins, runners . The colors, the textures …the creativity is limitless!
Sprinkles! I have every size shape and color you could ever imagine!!
I love the twine and the twisty ties! They would be so cute to use when wrapping up baked goods!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! I think I would have to follow in your virtual footsteps :) the baking cups are to die for…the twist ties…the treat cups…Even if I don’t win this I am going online! HELP! I can’t stop myself… Lori from Canada…I hope they ship there or I’ll have to get them sent to my Aunt Kit in Pennsylvania!
I could spend hours on BakeItPretty.com!!! It’s hard to even pick what I’d have to have because there is something from every category i would want.
I cannot stop buying kitchen/entertaining related things…bowls, cups, glasses, baking utensils….it’s like I need one of every color!
Depressingly enough, I can’t seem to stop buying books for school. I can’t wait to be done with finals!
Cupcake liners, I am always looking for the best and prettiest. Also Magazines, I put myself on a fast from them for 6 months and went to library to read them instead of buying them and saved a lot of money to buy more liners…lol
Anything that has to do with cupcakes, cookies and candy mold!!! *sigh* I just can’t STOP!!!
I am hopeless in any paper store- wrapping paper! note cards! ribbon!
I love those straws, by the way!! :)
I love it all!! I will have to get some cupcake liners, and those too cute boxes so that I can give them as gifts. Love it!
white cake plates! I have so many white cake stands, they fill up two entire cabinets in my kitchen. They make any cake look divine!
I LOVE ALL OF THIS!!! They would cause me to go into a baking frenzy, and then I would have to figure out what to do with 2500 cupcakes :) I can’t stop buying iced coffee…even in the winter. It is addicting.
yes, well … i too have a very very big cupcake related buying problem. and well, like you said… some of the stuff after purchasing is just too cute to use!! its crazy!! i have the button mold myself…. its just too cute! a complete necessity for everyone to have!
its very easy to get “out of control”. i mean how many cupcakes can you really make…. but you don’t want to miss out on the cuteness, then decisions decisions on colors, you just end up buying one of each!
i really like bake it prettys candy molds, they have a lot of unique designs that you can’t find in the craft stores. and i have a big problem with the mini cupcake liners. they are mini!! and cute! i like the gingham. and the retro looking dots and the plaid… an the swirled looking lines. i prefer the more retro styles. and then theirs the sprinkles… don’t get me started! ridiculous! =D
Most times I’m out shopping, I buy a birthday card that really speaks to me (not literally, of course) even if I have nobody in mind to give it to yet. It gives me a nice supply from which to choose when a birthday does come up.
I can’t stop buying stuff for my wedding and also stuff for the summer at our riverhouse. I love buying new and fun things for the outdoors!
I’m dying from the cuteness!
I love the red & white striped baking cups. They’d be cute to hold little handfuls of popcorn for our weekly movie nights!
Cake stuff…any kind of cake stuff…I’m obsessed! Oh and the Target $1 aisle! LOL
I would have a hard time saying no to the baking cups they are so cute.
magazines!
Those stand-up-by-themselves-striped baking cups are awesome!!!
Little girl sundresses- my 2 year old could wear different ones for a month!
Honestly I can’t resist buying books…lots of books, cook books, kid books, self help books, you name it I buy it. That and purses. Purses are an obsession for me! I get it from my mother. You should see my closet I have a section specifically for purses.
I can’t stop myself from buying “samplies”, you know small sizes of whatever. Food, cosmetics, skin care. If’ it’s a “samply”, I’m all over it. Of course, this isn’t a samply, but I’m not sure I could stop myself from buying this from Bake It Pretty: http://www.bakeitpretty.com/item_819/Picnic-Plaid-Cupcake-Carrier.htm
What Cupcake Queen wouldn’t want to show up at a picnic with their cupcakes in a gingham box like that, tied with the perfect twine?
With these kinds of wrappers anything you make would look pretty.
Pick me! Pick me!
I’m afraid to visit their site – I can feel my credit card getting hot already.
I make the jumbo cupcakes and have a very hard time finding the bakings cups in anything other than white or foil. The PINK PIGGIES went wild when they saw the bright PINK ones. I would sure love to dress them up in those beautiful PINK cups. The PIGGIES are very particular, in what they’ll wear.
I can’t stop buying cupcake sprinkles and cupcake liners and strawberry licorice (twisters)!
I just love different cookie books and sprinkles to go on cookies!
You’re such an enabler. I’ve visited the site before, oohed and aahed over stuff but never bought anything. But today, I. must.buy.
I love to bake and am an avid seamstress. The website you’ve shown will allow me to put so much of my loves for beautiful fabric and buttons with my baking! Thank you!
i can’t stop myself from buying scrapbooking things, baking stuff, and clothes for my little boy.
I would be “forced” to purchase some adorable baking cups and a couple of the themed cupcake kits.The Mermaid cupcake kit is beyond cute!
Usually candy………. or chocolate………….. or baby clothes.
I’m a cookie/cupcake decorating junkie, so I buy sprinkles, cupcake liners, cookies cutter……
Mimi
I must say craft and cook books are my downfall… and sprinkles, I am pretty OK using plain cupcake liners (I lie, I love the shiny alumninum ones) but must have cute sprinkles…
Cooking utensils! How many slotted spoons and gadgets does a girl need?
Oh Bakerella – this is not good! I’m gonna have to buy a million things from Bake It Pretty now!
I have an obsession with food coloring – I find the CUTEST colors, ones I’ve never seen before, neon, bold, pastels… I can’t stop myself.
Thanks for the new site, Bakerella – I can’t wait to purchase something!
Any type of cake supplies…I really have no control over myself.
If it is a new cake decorating tool, book, sugarpaste cutter or item for my kitchen then I get it. Love baking and cooking
I cant’ stop myself from buying music from Glee on itunes!
I can’t stop buying cooking supplies! I’m running out of room! :-)
Midnight Milky Ways. Just millions of the tiny ones. And then I put them in the freezer.. YUM.
Yipee! These rock! Pick me!
I also can’t stop myself from buying baking/cupcake/cake supplies!! I have gotten sooo addicted…. I LOVE THEM!!!
*I’m soooo gonna be hittin’ this site up…. ;)
I can’t stop myself from buying sharpie markers or anything in the $1 bin at Target!
I have been looking for paper cups like those red ones for months since I saw someone use something similar so thanks for the link :)
As for things I can’t help buying, books and I’ve developed a new affinity for baby boy clothes with a 3 month old at home!
All of those are SO adorable! I can’t stop myself from buying chocolate melts! I have started a little baking group in my area and we use them in everything! Gotta get them while they’re on sale at Michaels!!!
ugh I’ve been experiencing a cupcake overdose lately, so anything ADORABLE like the liners you have pictured totally weaken my defenses. I am heading over there right now to scope out the goods!
Pretty much any kind of baking supplies from pans to ingredients to cookbooks. My kitchen cabinets are bursting at the seams but i wouldn’t mind adding some of those adorable cupcake wrappers.
cute outfits for my two girls!
have some graduation activities coming up and love the cupcake liners, would make everything so cute
thanks
Anything cute and and in my line of view at Michaels…:)
Shoes, definitely. I hate to sound cliche but with Payless now stocking Christian Siriano’s line, I’m done for!
I can’t seem to stop myself from buying flip flops… for some reason i can always find a reason to buy a new pair.
Now I just have to figure out how to fit all the things I want in my suitcase when I fly back to the UK!! What a fun site.
I can’t stop myself from buying shiny metal scrapbook supplies. Just to have them. Not that I’ve actually scrapbooked in the last 5 years…but I still *need* these things =)
I love Baking Cups every colors & sizes.
Books. And craft supplies. – Stickers? Patterned Papers? Need to stay away from Michaels at all costs? That’s me.
Dishes…definitely dishes. I love cute colors, cute patterns, fun sets of glasses. It’s a problem to be sure!!
Two things… clothes for my 2 year old and tote bags. You can never have enough bags. This stuff is really cute though!
I can’t help buying really really really good vanilla, and crazy mustards. I have a thing for mustard, there are at least 7 jars in my fridge at any given moment, and not a single one of them is the same. i <3 mustard.
I have ordered stuff from there before and they have the cutest things! Pick me! pick me!
I can’t stop buying clothing for my children. Their closet are overflowing.
I have no will power when it comes to sprinkles and candy molds.
So cute!! Love all this stuff. I am a sucker for any paper products (stationery, etc.)…which I buy and then can’t bring myself to use!!
Oh my goodness, those are so cute! The little popcorn cups are my favorite. When I see a sale, that’s when I can’t seem to help myself. If I see “70% off,” my eyes glaze over and I feel I must have it, even if I don’t really need it.
I’ve been getting really into cake decorating after taking a class, so anything that has to do with cake decorating!
I CAN`T STOP BUYING COOKIE CUTTERS AND NOW SPRINKLES FOR MY CAKE POPS, QUESTION I MADE SOME CAKE POPS BUT THE CHOCOLATE IN SOME OF THE BREAKS WHAT DID I DO WRONG?? THANKS
baking things! so addictive
For me, there’s more than one “habit”… The first would be sewing stuff – tools, notions, pretty fabric. I had to return some fabric to the store yesterday (a whole uncut bolt) because I’m not going to make what I had originally bought it for; in the car on the way home, my fiancé had to give me a pep talk about how it was better to return something I don’t have the storage space to keep and might ruin a future project with it because it’s close-but-not-exact but-I-should-use-it-because-I-spent-money-on-it.
The other thing(s) I can’t stop myself from buying are Pampered Chef kitchen tools. But I let that one go, because they’re responsible for me becoming a better cook/baker!
I am in dire need of some electric blue cupcake papers, and now I absolutely MUST go look at the twist ties, too… I am making cake balls for wedding favors for my wedding in August!
I love Bake It Pretty! Such a cute site! There’s so many things I can’t stop buying – flip flops, all things pink, makeup – too many things I’m addicted to buying!
I am addicted to books. I walk into any bookstore and no matter where I start I always end up in the cooking section. I’ve got cake books, cupcake books, ice cream books, brunch books… BUT, I could really use the tools to make some of the things listed in those books! I think I have three different cupcake books dying to put a batter in some of those paper cups…
I can’t stop buying trident layers of flavors gum… its addicting!
I can’t stop buying clothes for my daughter. I love all the cute little girl dresses and luckly she loves dresses.
I love Bake it Pretty. I have purchased so many products that my husband thinks we live in a bakery.
I can’t stop myself from buying small toys. Quirky, little things supposedly for my kids. I love all things tiny, and love to surprise my kids with a small toy mouse the size of a dime sitting in a matchbox on their pillow. I can rarely resist.
Oh my goodness, everything looks amazing!!!! I am off to check Bake It Pretty out right now! :-)
Handmade jewelry from places like arts festivals and farmers markets. I love unique stuff!
WOW! This is hard. I would probably pick the mini loaf pans & floret baking cups (I do lots of baking to give away). I would give the balance to my 12 yr old daughter. She LOVES to decorate cakes/cupcakes, so I’m sure she’d have a ball spending the balance on much less practical things. :)
I can’t stop buying presents for my mom. If I walk into the store and see something she would love, I just have to buy it for her. Sometimes I’ll give her the presents right away, otherwise I’ll wait until Christmas or her birthday. I think last Christmas she had 5 presents to open from me: )
Makeup!!! I love to buy Makeup!!!
I can’t resist cute cupcake liners, especially if they are on sale. I make cupcakes for EVERYTHING…. church bake sales, birthdays, snacks after baseball and soccer games. Love to bake!
SHOES! And cake decorating supplies and gadgets!
I see more cupcake liners in my future. These are too cute to pass up!!!
I love to buy the holiday baking cups. My kids always have parties for holidays at school so that is my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Oh, and you have to have the sprinkles to go along with all of the baking cups. If I buy Halloween cups then I can’t resist the little bat shaped sprinkles!
I can’t stop myself buying books!!! Any books!!! Guess I have to invest in an iPad instead of another book shelve.
Books!! I’m a sucker for books.
I am in love with the cute cupcake wrappers, especially the damask ones. I think my husband is not going to be too happy with me buying more baking stuff. LOL
Oh my GOODNESS! Aren’t these just the cutest?! I don’t make cupcakes that often, but I might have to start with these adorable wrappers and cups. It’s been a long time pet peeve of mine that cupcake papers don’t look pretty and nice once the cupcake is baked in them. I’m looking forward to trying some of these that claim to stay bright.
Pick me! Pick me!
I would love to have the baking cups, they’re so unique and cute!
I’m always attracted to cookie molds, I have lots of them and most of them still new and never use yet that doesn’t stop me from collecting them!
What a cute site!!! I Love to buy gifts. Lots of cute things to have around when I need a gift for someone…AND I have to buy Chocolate!!
I have a book buying problem. Lately it’s cookbooks, but have had fits of fiction, memoirs, and even sci fi. It’s a heavy collection to have!!
I bet you felt like a kid in a candystore. Every looks very tempting. My swedish is good enough to translate the recipe.
Plum-muffins (ca. 15)
Stir 100 grams of melted and cooled butter with 2 dl (table)sugar. Add 2 eggs while wisping. Add 1 ½ dl crème fraiche and 3 ½ dl flour at which you added 1 teaspoon of kardemom en 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
Devide 2 plums and remove the pit (?). Cut them up in little pieces. Add to you batter.
Devide the batter over the baking cups. Sprinkel with pearlsugar. Bake them for ca. 12 minutes in an 225 Celsius heated oven.
Enjoy.
magazines….
I think I would have to get some new cookie cutters and maybe the cupcake decorating kit!
These are all sooooo cute!!! I would and am going to go crazy at this site!
I’ll just tell my husband Bakerella made me do it :)
OH, LOVE THAT SITE!!! It makes me want to bake things.
The popcorn cupcake holders are far too cute to pass on. Since I’m in charge of snacks at my son’s preschool the last week of school, I feel compelled to do something fun, that would be it! Actually any of the paper baking cups because they’d also be handy little goodie bags for parties too. For my daughter’s party, I’d have to go with the cotton candy polka dot cups.
The cakewich really takes the cake though too!
OK, I have to stop looking now…
I too love baking cups and any kind of sprinkles or decorations…pretty napkins and cute cookie cutters…love certain things for my kitchen and cake pans…office supplies…books of all kinds…scrapbook supplies to make cards and invitations…and cute baby socks…!
BIP is one of my most favorite sites!!! Cupcake supplies are definitely my binge purchases!!
Cute tops, jewelry, shoes, makeup, and anything to do with baking…can’t resist!
I have a hard time passing up fun extracts in brown glass bottles. Orange to hazelnut, I think Jalapeno might be next!
I can not stop buying books, romance novels, cookbooks, almost any type of book!
Way too much cute stuff! Would love to win! Thanks~
I am all about buying anything cute and mini, but my absolute obsession are stickers – I have so many stickers and I can’t seem to use them, or share them (it hurts too much). I use to go the yearly warehouse sale at Mrs. Grossman’s to get my sticker fix. Don’t know if they have a support group for this ;)
Baking related I can’t stop buying cupcake/muffin cups…they have such cute stuff out there now.
Uncontrolled buying? Baking stuff, Bare Escentuals makeup, baking pans at Williams Sonoma and shoes!
Those are so neat!! The one thing I can’t help from buying is Cheddar Jack Cheez-its!! Love those things!!!
Too cute!
I would go crazy over the cup cake papers. The cuteness factor is off the chart. I think you’re right about the site ‘making you do it’ because I hear it calling my name and forcing me to browse.
Oh my are those not the cutest! Thanks for introducing us!
I can not stop buying white wine, sugar, flour, butter, coffee & balloons. The balloons are for my almost 2 year old who is obsessed.
I’m a sucker for baking cups! Gimme some!
I am having a carnaval birthday party for my 2 yr old next month – those striped cups would be perfect!!!
Looovee these cute baking items! Adorable! I usually can’t stop buying anything from Jcrew or cookies…mmm cookies!
That site is dangerous! Anything on there is what I cant stop myself from buying!
That and kitchen gadgets!
So many choices! So much fun! This will be a favorite shopping spot.
Right now I can’t stop buying dresses. Mostly dresses to wear to work. My goal is to be able to wear a dress almost everyday to work this summer. They’re comforatable and easy to accesorize and make getting ready for work fast in the morning. But it’s proving to be a tough challenge finding work appropriate dresses that won’t break the bank!
First I have to say that I completely understand your desire to just look and not bake with all of the cute stuff you bought!! You bought them to use, but if you use them then you no longer have them to look at. It is quite the predicament! And I can’t stop myself from buyin sun dresses!! I love them soooooo much and want to be able to wear them every day i the summer!
Very cute. Like you I’m afraid to go to the sight – I know I will want to order it all.
Clorox Wipes…my husband says I should be a walking ad for them! Wierd I know!
I am so happy I stumbled upon this site. I LOVE to bake and within a couple of days I have already made cupcake bites and pops :) SO FUN!! I am making the 14 Layer cake next weekend for my husband, step son and daughters birthday party (they all fall within a couple of days of each other)
My birthday is tomorrow the 27th…..I would love to win some guilt free shopping! I am almost afraid to click into the site….My mind will be racing with new ideas :)
I love all those awesome goodies you found!! For me, I love to buy cute scrapbook paper. But then if I really love it, I have such a hard time using it.
Sugar sprinkles! Really, anything that can be shaken on cookies and cupcakes. I can’t resist!
I cannot for the life of me stop buying flowers for my gardens. Especially now that it’s spring…it’s a sickness!
I can’t stop buying film for my old camera. Something always goes wrong, so I have to buy new film all the time (which is quite expensiv,e but the times that the film actually DOES work, it’s worth the hassle and money.)
I cannot stop coats and jackets – I just love them. It is an addiction!
I can’t stop myself from buying cookie cutters and cupcake liners and decorative sprinkles. My favorite cutter is the state of Minnesota cookie cutter. I love living here!
p.s. All of the things that you posted are soooo cute. Love your wbsite!
I am a sucker for doilies… I keep buying them in all different sizes. But I have never seen them as cute the ones on bakeitpretty!
How adorable!! I fear that even if I don’t win, I will be spending $50+ there very, very soon!! For me, I can’t stop buying sweets even tho my waistline tells me not to. Bad, bad kitty! ;)
Hmmm… There’s nothing that I obsessively purchase. I’m SO cheap, and rarely spend money on myself. But I do treat myself to iced coffee a couple times a week!
I’d love to win these pretty pretty baking accessories!
Yarn…I’ve gotten into a knitting/crocheting frenzy and can’t seem to help myself….the only way to avoid it is to not go into any yarn/craft stores and avoid the online yarn shops that I love…….~ Kathy (Oregon)
Uncontrolled buying…non food related…sunglasses!
Food related…cake pans!
I cannot stop myself from buying new books to read. I cannot go into a bookstore to get something and not come out with a new book for me. I have tons stuffed in drawers, just waiting for me to pick them up, but am always adding to the options. I guess it is a good thing I love to actually read them, or we might have a hoarding problem at our house. ;)
I love the twisty ties and the little brown cupcake papers. Darling!! I am just just just starting the whole baking thing and the prettier the better. I cant stop myself from buying the button mold. Toooo cute!
Lordy Lordy! Where does one stop?! This stuff is GREAT!! :) LOVE IT!!
I can’t stop buying anything that I can use to make cupcakes or anything that has a cupcake on it.
I am a sucker for cute baking cups. I want to go to the website but I’m afraid my husband will not forgive me if I do. ;) I also love buying different kinds of sprinkles. I finally made a list of all the colors and such that I have so that I don’t get too many of one color if that’s even possible. :)
Anything on SALE…I’m a sucker for clearance items! Love crafting goodies…love making homemade gifts! New obsession is candy molds….
through this entire post, i kept thinking “I want that. I want that too. Oo! and that!” Those are soooo adorable! :)
Well Bakerella, to be honest I don’t think you need any help with the cuteness factor…but I am sure that it saves some effort on your part….love the posts, keep ’em coming!
My computer had a moment…not sure if my comment posted!
Children’s literature! I love kid books! All kinds; bath books, board books, elementary chapter books, picture books, etc.
Amazon.com & I know each other well ;)
Cheese popcorn. I love it and can’t walk by it without having to have a bag.
It’s fabric for me! I don’t sew all the much but some things are too cute to pass up!
I’m addicted to the feeling I get when I buy things to use later. Just like you felt with the striped paper liners, I can’t bring myself to use them because there might be a better project later that it would be just *perfect* for. I would love to start buying many kinds of cookie cutters so I can make the perfect cookies for any occasion!
I can’t stop myself from buying stuff for my two puppies, specifically treats and cute toys!
I can’t stop myself from buying paper crafting items. Like pretty papers, punches, etc. And, like you, some of them I just like to look at and not use—-they’re too pretty!! LOL
How dare you post up a store that is going to be my ruination!!!!
Oh how my heart races just looking at all this stuff!
ok. . . here is my confession. . . it is herbs. . . i can’t help it. . . If i am at the garden store and see a herb i don’t have the herb MAKES me buy it. . . a couple of them didn’t make it over the winter. . . sooooo i just had to buy more! ;-)
Oh, I love their stuff so much. It is so cute!!! :-)
I am getting married next year so I can’t stop buying bridal magazines….it is crazy!
I can’t stop myself from buying kitchen gadgets! LOVE THEM!
I love wandering the aisles of my local grocery stores just to see what I can find. And I usually end up buying whatever catches my eye. At least they’re consumables so I’m not overwhelmed with stuff!
These are PAINFULLY cute! I love them. But…when I scrolled down to the button mold, OMGOSH! I NEED that and if they have more cute molds I have to have (I mean NEED to have) those too! I love molds and stamps and anything textured. If I see it, I buy it! Oh, someone save me from myself!
Those scalloped cupcake cups are adorable! And I love all the twist ties too! I can’t stop buying crafty stuff that I find on clearance:)
i cant stop buying anything having to do with cupcakes!!!
hi bakerella!
i’ve just discovered your blog through a friend of a friend’s blog, and i’ve hooked my sister onto it, too.
i’ve always been quite frugal, but in my life i’ve bought way too many PENS! coloured, gel, archival/waterproof…you name it. and, of course, pens that write on icing! genius!
I can’t stop myself from buying fabric for quilting. And now that I have a long arm quilting machine, you can add thread to the list. And books and garden plants would also be on the list….
I can’t stop myself from buying cute little tins. I have rows of them sitting on a shelf, for every holiday and season. Someday I will do something with all of them.
There is a gas station on our way to St. Louis that carries the candy cigarettes. I can’t help but buy a few packs when we travel there. I remember my dad buying them for me when I was a kid. By the way, I never took up smoking! :)
I LOVE the tic tac toast stamper! My kids would LOVE THAT! There are too many things that I LOVE to name them all ; ) I can’t stop buying decorating things of all kinds, home, garden, baking, photography props….it’s a real problem!
I have been going on an online clothes buying binge lately…

i can’t stop buying clothes for my son- he has plenty- but little clothes are just to cute!!
I cannot stop buying milk glass, vintage tea pots and tea cups for my sister’s upcoming bridal shower & wedding!
I can’t stop myself from buying stuff for my kids. They don’t need a thing, but I love giving to them.
