Fancy Flours

While I was shopping for vintage cake toppers on the Internet today, I came across this site that has way too many fun things to bake with. I could spend a lot of money on sprinkles, dragees, nonpareils, candied flowers, picks, sanding sugar and quins...whatever the heck quins are. That's my kind of craft closet. This could be the site that launched a thousand cupcakes.

These sugar crystal pansies would be darling on individual cupcakes, or scattered all over a round cake.

Remember these? Straight out of your girlhood musical jewelry box. Perfect for a little (or big) girl's birthday.

I'm obsessed with the idea of making old-fashiony birthday cakes for my friends. Of course, that hasn't happened yet. But wouldn't these sugar flower buttons look cool topping old-timey swags of frosting on a layer cake?

I love the idea of a birthday cake completely covered with this dot confetti until you could hardly see the frosting. Cute for iced sugar cookies, too.

Please note the mouths on these vintage Halloween picks--each one is awesome. At first I thought I liked the pumpkin's grimace best--but look at the witch!

A big prize--okay, just bragging rights--goes to whoever comes up with the best use for this royal icing molded brain. Lobotomy party, anyone?
