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.

  2. cookie cutters and cookbooks. seriously. I think I have a problem. :)

  3. they are so adorable.
    the colors, the designs.
    i’m stuck with plain white cups.

  4. I can’t help buying girlie, sparkly stuff! Love it!!

  5. Oh my goodness this stuff is cute!
    I have MAJOR compulsive shopping problems with anything crafty! For scrapbooking, DIY home decor, baking, sewing, you name it! But mostly, its the DIY books! They’re all SO good!
    Thanks for the chance to win! :)

  6. shoes. and chocolate. more chocolate just becasue they’re cheaper than shoes.

  7. I can’t stop buying paper baking cups !
    I love them !

  8. Cauliflower! I’m on a cauliflower kick but it’s so expensive!

  9. I wish Australia had suppliers of amazing baking accessories like these! How pretty :) Baking is just that much greater when it’s pretty!!

  10. Shoes. And Ikea boxes. Too put my new shoes in!

  11. These cupcake liners are the cutest! For me, though, it’s books that seem to keep creeping into my shopping baskets, both real and virtual.

  12. I cannot stop buying really tiny cookie cutters. I use them mostly for fondant work but have started using them on my top pie crusts for venting.
    I also buy way too many craft supplies, most of it being skiens and skiens of yarn. My husband raises his eyebrows at me whenever we are watching shows about hoarding because 9 times out of 10 it seems that the homeowner will not part with half finished crochet projects just like myself.

  13. SPRINKLES! sprinkles, sprinkles, and cupcake liners! I love them all. I can’t stop. I must have more. There are just too many cute ones out there!

  14. Anything covered in glitter.

  15. Pocketbooks and anything baking related are gulity pleasures that i cant resist :)

  16. I have a lot of baking cups… and just like you.. I cant use them.. I love them so much just like they are.. Im afraid to use them hahaha… so I go crazy with baking cups!!! <3

  17. Clothing! I love finding good deals and I just can’t resist!

  18. You’re so inspiring! Thank you

  19. cheese! chevre, gouda, extra sharp cheddar, roquefort, camembert….SO GOOD.

  20. Those baking cups are pretty darn cute!

  21. Cuteness overload… I can’t even handle the plaid baking cups! I have a tendency to make my way into the baking accessories aisle at Target and argue with myself over how much I really need a rep spatula shaped like a hippo. But then I buy it anway, and can’t bear to use it!

    I’m also hooked on buying used books. I can never pass up a 25¢ paperback… or 10 or 20! :)

  22. stop stop stop! Umm.. tartan cupcake papers – can I just say Punk Cupcakes? And leave it to your imagination!

  23. What can’t I stop from buying? Ugh! Lots of things! Especially anything baking related and cute. I’m a sucker for a cute mold, cute pan, or such. That, and crafts. I’m also a sucker for most clearance departments ;)

  24. i can’t stop buying icecream!

  25. Popcorn cupcakes?? I must make!!

  26. OMG…I can’t live without candy melts, in every color…I bought a 44 Quart and filled it with every color I could get my hands on. Because after all you can never , ever have enough candy melts!!

  27. I could get in BIG trouble on that site. I’m lovin’ all the cupcake papers, esp. the popcorn bucket ones. I can think of several things to do with those.
    Debra

  28. Oh, wow! I *need* some of those twist ties. I’ve been on a lollipop making kick lately, and all I can find to close my wrappers are plain white ones. So not cute. So, clearly, I must obtain cutesy colorful twist ties.

  29. Dog toys… every time I go to the store I have to buy my dog a toy… seriously he must have over 200 toys… but if I come home with any type of bag and there isn’t a toy for him… Oh I just can’t deal with a sad puppy.

  30. I can’t stop buying clothes for my kids. And soda, it is a problem.

  31. omg i NEED those cupcake wrappers.

  32. WOW how cute i have speent some time in germany and always found way cute baking supplys!! so happy to have a web site to buy them from and your web site to see how to be inspired to use them!!

    i can not stop my self when i see differnt sprinkles, and candy molds then i have to have candy melts to go with them all its a bad circle of see buy see buy then explain to my hubby LOL!

  33. Candy.

    And anything on Amazon. Once I see it, I fall in love. And then I can’t stop thinking about it until I own it. It’s kinda like a chocolate craving but with stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.

  34. hearts – all things hearts…and red

    and where do I begin?

    With the Sweetheart straws…..

    The Tilt-a-whirl baking cups in red (reminds me of another favorite thing, the rides on the boardwalk at the shore)….

    The Valentine’s Day baking cups…..

    BakeItPretty is a feast for the eyes, and one hopes eventually the stomach –

    Edible heart quins – all styles and sizes and I cannot wait to try the Edible luster dust.

    Hope I win! Thanks so much for the chance….

  35. Oh everything is sooo cute! As far as what I can’t stop myself from buying, it would have to be anything with cute packaging. And shoes of course! :)

  36. I can’t control myself around sprinkles! I have so many shapes, types, and colors, but I always can find an excuse to buy more! Oh, and sugar free jello is my second obsession =]

  37. Chocolate !!!

  38. Cupcake liners to make sharing them all the more special. These are SO special!

  39. I can’t stop buying ideas…like the bags of button candy or the sugar molds. The problem is when you buy ideas it is never just one item. You end up buying all sorts of items to bring your idea into fruition. My husband says “I just don’t know when to stop”. He might be right, but I can throw a killer party.

  40. I cannot stop buying scrapbook items – paper, stickers, stamps, embellishments, and mostly idea books and magazines. it’s a sickness I tell ya! i only wish i had the time to actually scrapbook with all the lovely things i have!

    Thanks for the contest – so much fun!

  41. I can’t stop myself from buying clothes at Anthropologie and really silly gifts for my friends! If I win I’m going to be totally stoked because I NEED a bunch of Bake It Pretty stuff for my friend’s Bridal Shower (like the paper straws, swoon). And a few things for myself of course!

  42. That is one of the cutest websites! I want so many things! :) I can not stop buying anything baking related… pans, cookie sheets, muffins. If it has to do with baking I want it! Right now I’m trying to find a nice donut pan. You know a place, please let me know!

  43. i love the wonderful cupcake wrappers! i hope i win!!!!!!!!!

  44. I am a sucker for sprinkles but this post has made me realize the need to branch :)

  45. I am addicted to anything pretty! I really want those pretty cupcake liners! Shoes, skarfs, jewlery. You name it!

  46. I love all your stuff and omg i have an addiction to all things cupcakes….but i cant get any of this stuff where I live….i just wish that I could win….stay amazing….your stuff rules

  47. Love the cups that stand on their own I’ve never seen those before.

  48. Wow! Love the twine! I just realized that I have a serious infatuation with twine and neat tapes. Also that button mold it pretty darn cute.

  49. I can’t stop myself from buying Chunky Monkey ice cream!! And a cupcake on the side would be pretty delish!

  50. Thank you for introducing me to this site! I love it ALL, but I especially love the 7 Deadly Sins gourmet spices! I love the chocolate/chili combo, because that is how I make my brownies! (with cinnamon, too!)

  51. All of these are soooo cute!

    I can’t stop myself from buying craft supplies. I already have a cabinet full but I just can’t pass them up!

  52. Oh man, it has gotta be shoes. Not just any shoes though, the more unique and colorful the better! In fact, i couldn’t help myself and got some comic inspired pumps recently: http://www.mamstore.co.uk/templates/imagedirectory/ironfist_ohno_platform_purple_large.gif

  53. cookbooks, kitchen gadgets and adorable papers & baking cups, supplies, sprinkles, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

  54. Oh. My. Goodness. I think I’ve died and gone to cutness heaven. Let’s see…gott have the polka dot and animal print baking cups, and the mini bali candy cups…and OMG the folded paper baking cups! Those are awesome! And the chocolate molds…I’m already planning on the difference these will make in my Christmas candy trays! And I will probably not survive without the Cakewich cake mold. Time to break out the credit card…momma’s goin shopping!

  55. I can’t stop buying treats and toys for my dog. Seriously, if I’m this bad with him, imagine my future children…….!

  56. Ahhaa, for some reason, I can’t stop myself from buying bathing suits. Lol, I alread have a bunch but whenever I see a cute bikini, gotta have it!!

  57. oh those are precious! I would be one happy winner!

  58. I can’t stop buying fabric.

  59. OMG – I was looking for candy ciga… errr sticks :) for my 80s party last Saturday and couldn’t find any!

    and I can easily see how quickly all those adorable little things add up. Maybe I don’t want a gift certificate… NAH! Bring it on – oh the goodies I will make and decorate! :)

  60. I am addicted to all things CAKE! I love my local cake shops! I spend way too much money but I can’t help it!!!
    I love love love those cupcake liners! I can’t find ones that stay the “true” color once baked!

  61. Hmmm… Purses, clothing for my daughter, and my very favorite…school supplies. That is why I am a teacher lol.

  62. I love shopping period! :) Especially for purses and shoes. Although, lately I find myself buying more kitchen gadgets, cute cupcake cups, different design ribbons, cake pans, etc. I just can’t stop myself! Especially if I find something for a real good deal!

    ***I just want to say Thank you for giving us the inspiration to create beautiful treats!***

  63. I love your blog and pictures! Too cute for words!
    I can’t stop myself from buying sprinkles and I keep them in spice jars since I bake more than I cook. I also love chandelier earrings and cocktail rings. I love things that make a statement.

  64. i can’t stop buying food!

    but w/o it who could enjoy life? D:
    anyways, i love bake it pretty~ its like the porn of baking

  65. I can’t stop myself from buying cute office supplies (graph paper, tape, paperclips, tape dispensers, pens! pencils.. the list goes on and on).

    thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway!

  66. I can’t stop buying cookie cutter…., I wish I win this gift, I want to buy that cupcake liner for my son’s birthday….

  67. I love bake it pretty, every few days I go in and check that everything’s in it’s place, so so cute. And I can’t stop myself from buying unsalted butter for cupcakes haha, I have the whole dairy isle in my fridge.

  68. scrapbooking stuff! and ive never even made ONE scrapbook page!

  69. Little girl things…for my adorable little miss!!

  70. Heye,
    I am from Germany and I really LOVE your Website.
    And I have to say I can’t stop buying Books and baking stuff. I wondered why I still have any money. My kitchen is more then full.

    Love Gloria

    P.S. Thank you so much for inspiration

  71. I love scrapbook paper. I do use it though! Right now I’m also decorating for my baby girl’s nursery. So all things pink are tempting.

  72. I can’t stop buying cookbooks!!!

  73. thanks so much for this! i’ve been on a hunt for cuter packaging and these are absolutely adorable!

  74. Oh! My! So cute! I love all the cupcake wrappers. I must have some!

  75. I have an OBSESSION with buying new makeup even though I hardly wear it, I still buy it! Oh, and cleaning products. Weird, I know

  76. I can’t stop buying cake pans and sprinkles.

  77. I’m loving the cupcake kits – especially the fairy one…those fairy picks are so completely cute.

  78. Bake it Pretty is my ultimate weakness! i cant resist the cupcake toppers :)

  79. Depending on the time of year, winter is cake plates, spring is for t-shirts to make these:
    http://www.facebook.com/seriouscakes#!/photo.php?pid=142598&id=100000391151395
    Summer would be seeds that I’ll forget to plant, and fall is when we make rounds of local used bookstores to buy books we forget to read.

  80. Oooh I love all the liners! I can’t help buying baby clothes for my son and niece. Also, shoes!

  81. Oh my goodness. What couldn’t I stop myself from buying? Is everything a good enough answer? These are just too cute and the little poem on the sides makes it just so perfect.

    I think my favorite is the popcorn bags. Oh oh oh and the little turn table toppers http://www.bakeitpretty.com/item_251/Turntable-Toppers.htm
    Oh goodness. If they weren’t sold out they would be coming home with me right about now. The cakewich and the teacupcake pans are also excessively adorable.

    You weren’t lying about your warning….

  82. Books, especially cookbooks, can’t wait for yours!

  83. Kitchenware… and i don’t cook!

  84. I am so tempted to buy all those! I am constantly buying jewelry because I feel as if they make an outfit. They are good accessories that make an outfit pop, just like these baking cups! [:

  85. Oh my goodness. I can’t stop looking at the website…this is dangerous.

    I would love all of the luster dust in gold and silver. Perfect way to make a simple cupcake look expensive and ritzy!!

    Also…how can you resist the CUPCAKE BANDAGES!! Way too cute!!

  86. OOOOOoooh! SO cute!! :) I would LOVE to go on a shopping binge at this website, lol!

    I am obsessed with buying clothes for my children…even though they have plenty, and I’m seriously running out of room for them, I keep buying! I just cannot pass up a cute skirt and a sporty polo…especially if they’re on sale!!!

  87. Oh these items are so adorable! I love buying anything baking-related!

  88. used books at garage sales! I know i won’t read half of them, but I just have to buy them.

  89. cake pans.

  90. What can’t I stop myself form buying? Headbands and cupcake recipe books! I am obsessed with both! :]

  91. I love everything! The cupcake holders are just addorable and the striped straws are so cute!

  92. OMG, i love their stuff!!….everytime i enter to that page i want to buy it all!!!
    I love to buy kitchen gatgets..
    Cookie cutters
    Any kind of baking book, cookies, cakes or cupcakes, anything…

  93. I have an addiction to buying decorations! I just got married in october and every holiday—-and I mean literally EVERY holiday—I have to go out and buy all the decorations needed to express the holiday in every room of the house! My husband things I’m crazy, but I love it!

  94. Toys for my son! I love to see his little face light up when he realizes he gets to choose a toy and take it home.

    After that, everything possible to make my own jewelry. I’m a kid in a candy store when it comes to the rows of beads, findings, pendants, and more. It would be baking goods, but my doctor wouldn’t be too happy with me.

  95. I’m a sucker for Cookbooks. I can’t walk by a bookstore without poking my head in and perusing the cooking aisle.

  96. Paper! I can’t resist all the beautiful, fun, cutsey, elegant scrapbooking paper that’s out there. It doesn’t matter how many sheets and pads I own, I have to buy more every time I walk by a display. Its a sickness, I tell you. I’m cursed…

  97. Hmm..what can’t I help but buy…baking stuff! Whether it is sprinkles or pans and definitely cookie cutters(over 150 for sure so far). The other thing I am hooked on buying and cannot help it is homeschooling things from online in pdf(mostly) formats. I just can’t help myself when it comes to these two things!

  98. I can’t stop buying books at the school book fair. And if I went to this website I might need a lot of really cute baking supplies!

  99. I love collecting wrapping papers! I don’t know why but whenever I’m at the bookstore or at any specialty store, I grab anything that takes my fancy! You never know when you can use them :) Aside from these, I also love collecting frosting tips for my baking use! SO IT WOULD REALLY BE AWESOMEEEEEE IF I GOT THIS CHANCE! these are soo adorable!! :>

  100. I can’t stop buying anything that is pink and adorable…if it’s pink and polka-dotted that’s even better :o)

  101. books, outdoor gear, and really nice cycling socks! Looking forward to becoming a baking gadget addict as well :)

  102. I can’t resist buying cupcake liners…i have them in all sizes and colors…like you, i probably have a two year supply…can’t help it…they are too cute!

  103. Books and clothes! I just cant help myself when it comes to books and clothes:)

  104. well i just bought a bunch of stuff from BakeitPretty and regret that I didn’t buy more! I just bought the button mold. I’d like to get another one. And the straws were out of stock so I’d like to get some of those. I really like the suitcases too. So cute! They would make excellent backdrops for cupcakes photos. But what i love the MOST is the disco dust. CANT HAVE ENOUGH!

  105. I can’t stop buying candles, air sprays and scented plug ins. Not that my house is that smelly, I’m just obsessed.

  106. I really enjoy buying toys for my son…I can’t help it, there are so many awesome things out there.

  107. I am totally in love with all of the cupcake liners available at Bake it Pretty…to die for! I could easily by all of them!

  108. I can’t resist buying scrapbook supplies, well any craft supplies really. Wish my house was big enough to have a craft room.
    I hope I win! I’ve never won a contest before but one day I will and maybe it is this one :) Fingers crossed.
    I love your cake pops, make them all the time and everyone loves them. I always send them to your site :)

  109. hey bakerella!
    i can’t help myself when i go into the dollar store! coffee mugs, nail files, dog collars… so random! it’s like i need everything when i’m in there! thank goodness everything is a dollar!

  110. My current compulsion is buying anything related to planning my kid’s birthday … & those pop corn bucket wrappers will fit the carnival theme I’m planning. So Kewl!!

  111. (looks sheepish) Had to post again… I can’t believe I forgot books! I have them everywhere — don’t even come close to having the shelf space for them. Need to buy/make more bookcases soon. They’re taking over!

  112. I’m kinda scared to go to their website..i might just buy everything!

  113. ohmygoodness those popcorn cupcake cups are delightful!
    i a d o r e just about ANYTHING cupcake related.
    they’re wonderful.
    so when i’m not buying lovely cupcake accessories, i’m buying BABY stuff.
    we just found out we’re having our first baby after many, MANY years of trying and waiting.
    so when i find the softest baby blanket e v e r, of course i have to buy it.
    and then those little onesies! i have to buy them and add ruffles. or a baby tie.
    and those little socks that look like mary janes/sneakers?
    oh my.
    and the perfect vintage baby dresser off of craigslist?
    had to buy it.
    even if it IS in a town 2 hours away.
    sigh.
    the things we do for love. babies and cupcakes.
    :)

  114. these are so awesome, i’m afraid to go to their website…but here i go!

  115. I can’t resist from buying FRESH baked bread. I like it still warm. The bf is pickier about the texture, but me? I’m all about the warmth and smell. It makes any day a happy day!

    Fresh donuts come veeery close. I’m reminded of my childhood with my grandma at her neighborhood Krispy Kreme “factory” with the conveyor belts and oodles of icing. I will always remember my first fresh donut right off their line! :)

    I’m about to graduate from undergrad at U.Texas in Austin. Can you tell I gained my freshman[through-senior] 15? ;)

  116. oh my god, too much adorableness…… must run away before it pulls me in! Oh, and I can’t stop myself from buying kitchen stuff — gadgets, pretty things, etc. Always have great plans to learn how to decorate cakes and such, so I have a bunch of cake decorating supplies I haven’t had the time to use. Which is exactly why this is the website I need to stay away from… but it’s sooooo pretty…

  117. You picked out such adorable stuff! Chocolate is what I can’t stop myself from buying! Candy, cookies, brownies, if it’s chocolate, I want it!

  118. Books!!!! Books!!!! And craft supplies, any craft supplies, I’m so addicted.

  119. Jackets. I have a problem. Also knives. Do I need 5 paring knives? No, but they’re pretty!

  120. Oh, goodness. I really didn’t need to know about that site. Waaaay too cute! In the realm of cooking/baking I can’t quit buying cake pans – love all shapes and sizes. In the (smaller) realm of life outside of cooking/baking I can’t quit buying books. BOOKS! They are overflowing all my shelves, but I must have more!!

  121. My compulsion is “sour cherry” candy. I’m searching for that elusive taste from childhood!! I love the little mini popcorn buckets, how cute is that!!

  122. Love this post and all from your site. I enjoy your recipes … as I am addicted to baking and eating … therefore I must go to the gym at least once a day if not twice!

    Hope I win! Thanks for the contest!

  123. Yeah! I would love to win!

  124. Anything PURPLE! That is all I am looking for right now for my daughter’s “Purplicious” 4th b-day party. The purple polka dotted cupcake liners, and the purple fine sanding sugar would be perfect things to purchase if I win!

  125. Pita crackers from Trader Joe’s and blueberries. I don’t eat them together…although….

  126. I can’t stop accessories! I have so many brighton earrings and charms including the cutest cupcake one ever that I never have time to wear them all! I have so many necklaces my jewelry armoire broke and some I forgot I had!

  127. I guess my biggest weakness is books. I now actually review books and get as many as 20+ per month free to review and still am tempted to buy more. Pretty dishes and stuff for the kitchen and baking are also temptations even though my cabinets are full. Why else would I enter to win a gift certificate for more?

  128. At this moment, I can’t stop buying diapers and wipes (newborn twins!)

  129. I can’t stop buying pens. Pretty ones, anyway. I’m stationary obsessed!!

  130. Oh my! This stuff is too cute! I don’t know if I can resist!

  131. I just generally can’t stop shopping for EVERYTHING. I shop for anything that strikes my fancy! I sure hope I win!

    Thank you!

  132. i can’t resist different and unique baking cups! i always say i’ll use them and have ideas and then i don’t use them and keep buying more. i got all kinds of sizes tiny ones, regular ones and even giant muffin ones.

  133. My weakness would be cake pans… Now that I have ALL of them, I now go to thrift stores. Whoa. New weakness for collecting stuff has happened…

  134. I have a hard time turning down cookbooks and spices!

  135. I can’t help buying pens and pads of paper! I have all kinds of color inks – my favorite are the glitter ones. Plus pads of paper… especially if they are personalized. Love it!!!

  136. Love that site, they have such amazing products!

  137. Tilt-a-Whirl Baking Cups

  138. I can’t help myself…I seem to always want to buy more things to drink…bottled water, sodas, juices, teas. It’s as if I think I might run out of beverages!

  139. I cannot get enough pens. I have every color you can think of and constantly buy different ones whenever I’m at the store. I have an addiction to all types of pens/markers. too weird…But I am currently a nursing student so having different colors while taking notes helps me out big time!

  140. I was a teacher before I had my little girl, so I can’t ever stop myself from buying books!

  141. Holy mackerel those are cute cups! I totally know what you mean about too cute to use – I do that too. At the moment my can’t stop is anything for crafting. It is impossible for me not to buy fabric, ribbons, baking, paper. Even if I have no idea what I’d do with it, if it’s cute and crafty, I’m compelled to get it.

  142. Pretty colors. They grab me & tempt me to buy. T-shirts, yarn (for knitting), dishes, doesn’t matter. I’m sure pretty colored cupcake papers could be the death of me.

  143. I want what you got!

  144. I can’t stop buying Legos. They are the one thing my son who was recently diagnosed with Autism, plays with. I am constantly talked into buying more.

  145. Those cupcake liners are so pretty!

    There are so many things I just can’t stop myself from buying, especially earrings and baking items. I always tell myself that I “need” these things. *sigh

  146. Even though I have never done any illegal drugs, I imagine that this is the sensation one would get upon trying it: Everything is fantastic and highly addictive! lol Now I just need to figure out which organs I can sell in order to buy everything in my “cart”…

  147. Dark chocolate covered pretzels from Trader Joes. SO. GOOD.

  148. loooove the cupcake holders!!! and i cant stop buying clothes here and there… ha! guess im a typical girly-girl at heart! =)

  149. I can’t stop myself from buying anything covered in glitter! Somehow I never grew out of the love of all things sparkly! :)

  150. I have recently gotten back into my baking which I love! And I cannot stop buying baking ingredients. I have to have everything so if the mood or occasion strikes my fancy, I can whip up ANYTHING! Take that Martha! **grin**

  151. I have a serious problem of buying and trying all the new snack foods at the health food store behind my house. I mean, everyone knows what a Ding Dong tastes like, but when you see Agave Sweetened Butter Shortbread cookies or Key Lime Pie made with Avacado— you HAVE to try them, right?

  152. I want some sprinkles! My daughter would just love them!

  153. I need new cupcake cups!

  154. I am such a HUGE fan/stalker of yours! :) I am totally lovin all of the fun stuff you just featured. Oh how I would LOVE to win!!

  155. Loved all of it, especially the things from Sweden. My sister and I travelled there a LONG time ago, and what did I buy? Cooking utensils and an Swedish cookbook (Storabakboken) in Swedish. Can I speak Swedish? No, but picked out a couple of recipes that I made!

    Thanks Bakerella!!

  156. I LOVE THOSE TWISTY TIES! SO CUTE! How did you control yourself…?

  157. Oh my!!!! those are soo cute!!! Cookbooks are my weakness for sure!!! everytime I go to the grocery store I’m always grabbing those little minicookbooks they always have…they stare at me calling my name!!!! lol

  159. I LOVE the decorating bags, and ways to present the things I bake, it just makes everything look so professional!

  160. After seeing those pics, I completely understand each and every one of your purchases. CUTE!

    New things for baking are always on the agenda, but the one thing I am always buying (no matter how much I already have) is stationary. Paper, cards, blanks notes, I love it all. In the electronic age I’m still a fan of the handwritten letter.

  161. OMIGOSH! these are soooo cuteee! i cant help buying fun unique kitchen utensils! like a flower spatula….pink silicone brush…alligator cheese grater….ANYTHING cute! :D

  162. I can’t stop buying anything in miniature. The most ordinary thing, when reproduced in miniature is enough to make me squeal with delight.

    I was thrilled on the weekend at a tup.per.ware party to receive miniature versions of three of their items. I could have died a happy woman :)

  173. My best friend doesn’t know it yet, but I plan on making her a Pretty Princess Cheesecake Castle for her 25th birthday and I would love the rainbow candles, long and skinny candles, crazy sprinkles, luster dust, toppers– okay, so, I pretty much want to make her entire cake a Unicorn Cave abomination, is that bad?

    I would die to have a cake like this for my 25th, but I know none of my friends will make it for me. :( So I have to make it for one of them.

  174. Cake tins. All kinds of cake tins for all kinds of occasions. Not obsessed at all. Maybe just a little….

  175. All the stuff is very tempting. Hope I win the gift card

  176. I have only one question: Why didn’t I see this a bit earlier??
    Today is my final test in my culinary institute. In a couple of days I will earn my Pastry Chef Diploma (am very excited). The theme of my test is Alice in Wonderland – Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and what a party I could have if I was able to get in time these silicone Teacupcakes molds, or the “Eat Me” and “Drink Me” lables. Last but not least, the Garden Party Wire Cupcake Stand….. mm… perfect!!

  177. I cannot stop buying toasted marshmallow jelly bellies. Somehow they keep ending up on my desk, especially during exam week. Oh the stress!

  178. Have you seen the TeaCupCakes baking molds?! Those are the best things ever! *Dies* You’re correct- the website MAKES you buy things. Lots and lots of things (Scary.)

  197. Black shirts. They are my weakness. And cute, charming bowls.
