CLOSED-Adorable Cupcake Cuties & GIVEAWAY! Happy Holidays Gift Guide Feature!




Hey All!

I don't know about you, but I become a Latin Betty Crocker around the Holidays. I love to bake everything and everything around the Holidays. I especially love to bake cupcakes, since I love to decorate them with my teen, even though he won't admit that he likes doing it. I decorate them with fun Holiday themes and characters like Frosty or Santa or with Holiday colors and I place them on top of a Christmas tree cupcake stand I have.  I'm in the process of getting all my Holiday decorations and items out of storage, which is why I can't include a picture of my stand, sigh. You would love it if you see it. I'll try to update this post later with a picture of it. I digress...


Since I love to decorate my cupcakes so much, you could imagine my joy in learning about these amazing cupcake decorating kits by Cupcake Cuties.  I think these kits are a great gift for anyone who loves to bake and decorate. It's also a great gift just to provide a great activity for parents to do with their children as well.  I was thrilled to add to them to my Holiday Gift Guide since I truly feel they are a great gift for anyone this Holiday Season and I'm sure anyone who receives these amazing Cupcake Cuties kits will love them! These kits come adorably packaged so you don't even need to wrap them and the packaging is made of recyclable PET Material, so they are eco-friendly as well.


I had originally first heard about Cupcake Cuties on a fellow bloggers site and I was so excited when I was contacted about featuring their company in my Holiday Gift Guide. I quickly jumped at the chance!


So what is Cupcake Cuties exactly you ask? Well..it's a fabulous kit that you purchase to decorate your cupcakes that have a variety of fun themes you can choose from on their site. Each set sells for $23.99 and includes everything you need to transform 24 cupcakes into 24 fabulous yummy UNIQUE creations.


Cupcake Cuties are easy as 1, 2 ,3 for taking your cupcake from ordinary to extraordinary! You just bake up some cupcakes, wrap them in s Cupcake Cuties sleeve, and docorate! That's it! Super simple!


They really are an amazing new way to serve and decorate your cupcakes!


Each Cupcake Cuties Kit comes complete with 24 easy-to-use, self-adhesive sleeves, and all the custom toppings to complete the designated design you choose. I was so happy to to be sent the Christmas tree kit to try. It came with candy cane shaped sprinkles that also taste like candy canes and they are so cute. And the sleeves have a Christmas Trees and Snowflakes printed on them.  Another great thing is Cupcake Cuties sleeves are printed with Food Safe inks and are made in the USA. I mean really, how much is made in the USA now a days. Nothing!


It also has the best easy to follow instructions that includes pictures, so there isn't really a way you can mess up when using a Cupcake Cuties Kit.


Cupcake Cuties have a wide range of designs and themes for every occasions including Holidays, birthdays, weddings, or kits you can use to just have plane old fun to have with your family decorating.


They also offers a Cupcake Cutie of the month club membership that allows you to join the Cutie of the Month Club where you will receive a different Cupcake Cutie package each month! That can be a great help in preparing you for the upcoming holidays.

Each kit in the club again comes with Sleeves, all the toppings, a picture of the finished product along with written instructions for each design. Each kit will be shipped the on the 10th of the month, one month prior to the designated holiday. So you'll have your Santa cupcake delivered in November and your New Years cupcake in December! Again it's a great option if you know you're going to be baking a lot of cupcakes for the upcoming Holidays!

One great kit really caught my attention on their site since it's a kit that supports breast Cancer research. It comes with 24 sleeves in three varieties and pink ribbon mix confetti sprinkles and a pastry bag. 5% of the proceeds of the sale of these kits will go to The Susan G. Komen L.A. County Affiliate.


Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R) in case you didn't know, is the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.  So when you're visiting their site, please consider getting this kit as it's for a great cause!

So let me stop raving about Cupcake Cuties and let me tell you a little about my personal experience with the kit. I was super excited when I baked up some funfetti cupcakes so I could try out my Christmas Tree kit. I was praying they came out as cute as they looked on the package picture and site.


I'm happy to report that they are! They really were extremely easy and fun to decorate.  My cupcakes didn't come out as perfect as the site, but they are still as cute as can be to me. They have really taken my cupcakes up a notch. The wrapper really was simple to use. You literally just take off the backing and stick the ends together to make a circle for the cupcake to sit in. I just added my frosting and sprinkles and I was left with my very own Cupcake Cutie! I was done in no time at all.


I'm sure people will rave about how great these adorable cupcakes are when you show them off. I highly recommend you purchase these amazing kits for any occasion, not just the Holidays.  Again they make great gifts and also are a great way to spruce up your Holiday Cupcakes! I promise you will love them just as much as I do! Thank you Cupcake Cuties for allowing me to try these amazing kits! They really will be a festive addition for my family this Holiday season!
