Blue Birds of Happiness cupcake

To me, this Blue Birds of Happiness cupcake by The Lone Baker represents what I love about cupcakes: their ability to make people smile. Yes, I love to eat them too, but ultimately I think why cupcakes are so popular can be boiled down to the fact that they make people happy to look at them and to eat them. This one's made with fondant; click above to find out how it was made. Via Flickr. You can also follow The Lone Baker on Facebook.



And a bonus dippy hippy cupcake, because The Lone Baker is so cool and creative!
