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?

Just found this blog today, and oh my god, I absolutely love it to pieces! Fantastic creations and I have totally bookmarked you :)
And it made me giggle when I saw the Swedish baking cups. I have a billion of them in I dunno how many sizes and themes. And I do know what it says on the back of the package, not as hard when you’re born and raised and still stuck in Sweden, haha!
Awesome blog! I am gonna keep going back and read (and drool) more!
Oh! I love to bake, and you know that thing you couldn’t read, its Swedish :L
Love your blog. :)
Just have to tell you, I have no problem at all reading what’s on the back of that baking cup. Just let me know if you want it translated…
I know exactly what you mean about loving the wrappers so much you don’t want to use them. I do the same thing with fabric!
Oh I love those Kalasfårm , and being swedish I can totally read what it says underneath and it’s a nice recipe for cup cakes. :-)
(If you want me to translate, let me know! )
Love your site btw, soooo much inspiration and it just makes me wanna run out in the kitchen and start baking! :-)
/Emy
Holy moly! Everything is mega adorable, how could you not help yourself to the cuteness!?
I LOVE this site. I do cakes from home and love the button mold for baby shower cakes. Even for my sister who is a seamstress I am planning a button cake and this mold would be outstanding. And the jewelry candy is going perfect on a two years olds birthday cake this month.
hahaha, those baking cup from kalas-fårm are from sweden, i’m from sweden and the text on the back says: Plumcupcakes, and they contain butter, 2 eggs, cremé fraîche, flour, brown sugar and more… :P just for your information.
and i know this because i am from sweden. like your site btw, i get alot of good tips and inspiration from it. thnks!
Wow.. these things are so cute I would just love to give them a try .. My daughter and I would have a blast coming up with creative things to use.. and the straws I love thes straws they would make a wonderfull photo prop for my daughter next photo session !
Sweet jebus…I’m gonna go broke…I MUST HAVE those popcorn buckets…
plomonmuffins sound awesome! im totally going to “google translate” that! i would buy one of everything they had in pink! too many to choose from.
oxoxoxox
I love Bake It Pretty! I get one of their surprise bags every two weeks. You get a whole lot of stuff for about $6! It’s awesome! Last time I got those blue and gray damask cupcake liners, some basic white jumbo liners, some chocolate brown and gold striped liners, and polka dotted liners. PLUS I got a beehive cookie cutter and some cute cupcake decorative things. I LOVE Bake It Pretty!
I love all the cute cupcake liners!
I was a bit surprised when I found the baking cups from Sweden in you blog. I have the same ones in my baking drawer. But I can read the recipe on the backside because I am from Sweden :) It’s a recipe for plum cupcakes so I don’t think you miss much by not being able to understand.
Thank you for a lovely blog!
The recipe is in Swedish, and I am from Sweden, that was funny 2 see!!

Hey!
The picture that has the “…unless u can read this” inscription. I can read it ;) From Norway, and thats Swedish! It’s a pear-muffin recipe !
I am SOOOOOOOOOOO visiting this site RIGHT NOW!
Those cupcake holders are so cute!!
P.S. I know it’s too late for the contest…but I just wanted to say that I’m sure you’re only one in THOUSANDS of people that won’t use their cute stuff because they don’t want to be without it. :) I’m the same way! I have an adorable dish towel that I won’t use because I’m afraid it will get stained.
lmao sweet story bro.
I can TOTALLY relate to not baking in the cups…I don’t think that is weird at all! I GET IT!!! Can’t wait to shop this site!
Man I can think of a million things I would buy from that website if I won. I LOVE FOOD

As one of your Swedish readers I really appreciate the Swedish cupcake liners! They are super cute :)
Well thank you very much, I am now going to be eating peanut butter and jelly for a month. All the money I spent at Bake It Pretty, but it was fun. I have a few bake sales coming up and this will help alot. And I do remember those candy ciggies, use to eat them all the time as a kid. Love your site and all of the great ideas. At least twice a month I am asked to make cake pops for someone, again thanks.
I love cake platters! I can’t stop myself from getting new ones everytime the gourmet gadget shop gets them in
LOL I can indeed read it. Do you want a translation?
is this of interest/use to you http://www.vestlihouse.com ? Seen seen the cupcake liners in various swedish websites but havent tried them myself yet. (nor found them here in ireland :) )

Hey! that’s Swedish! in Sweden you can get those in the store, for once there’s something posted here that I can easily get, yay! I love this blog, but we don’t have as much fun baking-stuff here in Sweden… I translated the Swedish text, it’s a recipe for plum muffins:
Mix 100 grams of melted, cooled butter with almost 1 cup brown sugar. Add 2 eggs while whisking. Add a little more than 1/2 cup of creme fraiche and 1 1/2 cup of flour mixed with 1 teaspoon cardamom and 2 teaspoons bakingsoda. Cut 2 plums into cubes. Add to the mixture. Put the mixture in the baking cups. Top with pearl sugar and bake in the oven 440 degrees for around 12 minutes.
And again, thanks for a great blog!!
Oh my gosh all those comments…thousands of them! I always miss your contests. You post an entry and I see it and then come back each day….but see the same post…
so I go away for a day or two in which you decide to have a one or 2 day contest!!!!!
Grrrrrr………………………one of these days I’ll get there at the right time.
cookbooks! and fictional books!
OMG! Those cupcake baking cups are so beautiful.
Underwear!! lol. very practical. very cute designs. very cheap at 5 for $25 sales at American Eagle Outfitters.
Books. I CANNOT walk into a (used) book store and leave empty handed. I love, love, love books.
My daughter is an up and coming entrepreneur. I am pretty sure it will have something to do with baking so I would love to win this for her.
My weakness is pens! I have hundreds, but that doesn’t stop me from a weekly trip to Staples!
Darn! I wish I had won – I just spend $55 there, and had to stop myself after 20 minutes of perusing and adding to my cart. Great site! Thanks for letting us know about it. I hope they send a little reward to you for all of the business you are sending their way : )
I was having palpitations just looking at this stuff!! It is amazing!!
Sooo cute! I think my favorite has to be the mini popcorn cups! Many ideas for those!
I can read that! It’s swedish and I’m from Norway (that’s the reason why my english sucks).
I cannot stop myself from buying greeting cards and stationery despite the fact that I rarely send snail mail anymore!
I would say my most impulsive desire is the edible glitter! I would love the Cupcakes 101 kit too!

That website is fantastic, pure baking heaven. I can’t stop myself from buying edible decorations. You can never have too many coloured sprinkles!
I can’t stop buying yarn! I have too much already, plus projects in different stages coming out my ears!
Also, I’m partial to coats and jackets.
And dishes!!!! How many sets do I own? Hmmmm. Lots. And they are all so beautiful!
SO sad I missed the deadline on this drawing! This is the cutest stuff I think I have ever seen!! Besides, of course, chubby-cheek babies. Combine these things with chubby-cheek babies, maybe throw in a puppy… Well, you can imagine my extreme reaction.
Wow so many colors of candy melts! I NEED them all!
Seriously! I like the vintage paisley liners, the Black Victorian liners, the folded paper liners! The list goes on and on. I can see how that website made you “need” so many items!!

I’m a definite bathing suit addict. Weird, I know.
I can’t stop buying baby clothes! they’re so cute and tiny…and a whole outfit for less than $20, I just can’t resist.
I cannot help but by Cookie Cutters and Shoes. I don’t know what it is about the two, but I’m hooked. We haven’t enough room in the house for both. My husband would like me to choose between the two ><
I’m really obsessed with buying headbands… I don’t know why I have a gazillion of them.
I have learned to be pretty thrifty however those tartan baking cups are calling my name!

I love it! Those baking cups are absolutely adorable, I’ve never seen anything like it!

I should never be allowed to walk into a Michael’s store alone. I buy cute craft stuff, even though i ahve no idea who I will give it to once it is made. But it’s on sale and it’s cute!
Shoes… oh how I love shoes. Peep toes are my biggest weakness. I am pretty sure I would have passed out from cute overload… cupcakes make me swoooooon!
Sewing fabrics! there are just too many cute ones out there, i cant choose just one!!

Ohhh… I need more baking stuff too cute to use… I knew you’d understand….
I often buy sprinkles and cupcake papers. I don’t know why, guess I want an endless supply of decorations.
I’m on a real shoe kick right now. Every time I go to the mall and pass a shoe store I’m all grabbyhands. I now have 3 (soon to be 4) pairs of Chuck Taylors and 5 pairs of Vans slip-ons. And I want more!
pens I love pens.
I can’t stop buying Tupperware/Rubbermaid/any sort of organizational containers. My cupboards are overflowing with them and my husband has forbidden me to buy any more, but I just can’t resist them! :)
i can’t stop thinking about buying the copier, food coloring toner, and rice paper that you used to make the valentines! But now i can’t wait to shop this site with all the wonderful baking stuff! For me, it’s all about the details! I hope I win!!!!!!!!!!!
Books, Diet Pepsi and Toffee. Oh, toffee.
office and school supplies!
I can’t resist buying anything sold at Target!
And now you have me in a little baking obsession since I came across your site.
I can’t resist buying books…I love me a good paperback book and warm, comfy chair! I also have a knack for spending all my money on crafty items, especially scrapbook items!
Can’t wait to see all the wonderful things you’ll make from your shopping spree!
