this fairy cake obsession

Fairy cakes, or cupcakes (it's a British/U.S. English thing) are possibly the most perfect snack ever created. Lightness, fluffiness and tasty goodness. I was alternating browsing the official Emilie Autumn fan forum (mostly to post out all my excitement about the gig at the Camden Underworld on Friday night - which I will blog about when my photographs are ready) with reading the latest posts on iCiNG. Gala Darling recently posted a couple of lovely links - cupcake shop heaven (which I imagine would be the sort of place that Emilie Autumn would escape her Asylum to hide in, disguised as a cupcake creator), and a teapot made for a wretched whore.

I decided to browse for other fairy cake goodness and was going to just post a thread on the EA forum about my findings but it got so long and I found so much lovely stuff that I decided to go all out and make it a blog post!

Beginning with interior design elements and furniture to fit our theme: Cake-case table, anyone? I'm not sure but I think it would look pretty cool in hot pink, silver, or black - the latter especially because it would be less obvious what shape it was immediately, but unfortunately they do not make it in that colour. Definitely a "talking-point" piece of furniture. If you are using a more conventional table to dine upon, you could scatter around some cupcake cushions and let your fridge in on the fun with these obscenely cute magnets, or these distressed ones. Scrawl recipe experiments into an appropriately decorated journal.

Now, what shall you wear as you pour tea and serve your friends freshly-baked delights? A fairy cake themed apron, of course, or perhaps a muffin t-shirt if you are not feeling quite that 1950's housewife today. I think I might end up buying this cupcake handbag if you don't get there first.

Of course you need some jewellery, perhaps a cupcake hairclip? I've fallen in love with these bakery earrings, and this cupcake charm bracelet. To wear them with the matching necklace might be overkill, but it is sweet nonetheless. This necklace is cute too, and there are plenty more options in the seller's store. Can we please start a new trend for dessert rings? They are really pretty and I can imagine the conversations they would start:

"What's that on your ring?"
"Dessert."
"What?"
"Dessert! It's a dessert ring, like a cocktail ring but for dessert."
"Mmm...I could murder a triple chocolate gateaux right now"
"I feel more like profiteroles myself"

Invite your friends to your tea-party with tempting notecards, and at a birthday, accessorise your presents correctly! and if you are on a diet (as if!) indulge in crocheted cakes instead. And I do wish this messenger bag and this dress came in a bigger size...
