Paging through the Cupcakes! cookbook has gotten our sweet tooth
tingling and sugared-up minds whirring! Browsing the full-color pictures
of gorgeously frosted cupcakes makes us equal parts hungry and ready to
bake, but why let the inspiration stop there? Your kids are sweet
enough to eat, so take a cue from these cupcake-inspired ensembles and
dress your little ones up to match the tasty treats you're baking for
them!
Hi-Hat Cupcakes: These chocolate and marshmallow
confections need no match, just a high cookie jar so they're not all
eaten in seconds. The brown and white color scheme these cupcakes bring
is most easily matched of all: coordinate with a candy-sweet baby's room
décor with this Chocolate Dots Bucket of Burpees or echo the cupcake's
two-tone look with the Putumayo Stripe Dress. And make sure you save a
cupcake or two for the kids!
Cinnamon Sugar Puff Cupcake: Sugar
and spice and everything nice – that's not so much what little boys are
made of, or so we hear. Keep your little boys sweet with these Puno
Twill Pants in the perfect cinnamon-sugar shade matched up with the
similarly neutral Chimu Dobby Shirt.
Lemon Poppy Seed Butterfly
Cupcakes: Match the delicate flavor of these cupcakes to your delicate
little girl in this pretty white Corfu Dress. The ruching reminds us of
the fluffy sweetness of the cupcakes, and the white ruffles can handle
these lightly-frosted treats without risk of chocolate frosting
accidents!
Chocolate-Covered Brownie Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes:
Match the sweetest candy treat with the most delectable shoes in the
form of these PediPeds Ethan in Chocolate Brown Suede. Can't get enough
of this tasty shade? Keep your cupcake bundled up with this
chocolate-brown striped Inca Hooded Pullover.
Sticky Fig Cupcakes
with Brown Sugar Glaze: So this recipe may be more suited to the
grown-ups' dessert table than the kids' – a good rule of thumb for
kid-friendly foods is to never let them near anything with "sticky" in
the title. While you're indulging in these delicious syrup-glazed
treats, keep the little ones satisfied with an Ice Bling-ky to suck on,
and wrap the youngest cupcakes sweetly up with Gimme Sugar Muslin
Swaddle Blankets.
