Today we received a sweet and completely unexpected gift in the mail from our favorite domestic goddess, Bakerella: mouthwatering red velvet cake truffles...decorated to look like our own Cakespy mascot, L'il Cuppie! Seems that Mlle. Bakerella must have enjoyed her Iron Cupcake prize, a custom piece depicting her exciting segment a few months ago on the Martha Stewart Show:
Because this was certainly a wonderful thank-you to receive! And upon opening the parcel full of cheery red-topped Cuppies, we realized that Bakerella had caught all of the little guy's mischievous expressions. One thing's for certain--the moment we left the kitchen they got up to all sorts of mischief. Let's see what we were up to, shall we?
This little Cuppie made a big mess...
This little Cuppie learned to draw...
This little Cuppie went for the good stuff...
This little Cuppie liked what he saw...
This little Cuppie found Jesus...
This little Cuppie met some pigs...
This little Cuppie saw the Space Needle (but got a little melted by the sun)...
This little Cuppie does not like skinny chicks...
This little Cuppie got worried...and uh-oh, we haven't seen him since.
This little Cuppie got greedy...and ended up all alone.
Wanna make 'em? You can find the recipe for Easy Cupcake Bites at Bakerella.com!
Of course you also might like to see her sweet review of our friendship and the project here!

OMG the guy with the smooshed-in cheek frosting, painting a big mess...my favourite!
Those are just adorable, I would feel sad to eat them, but I bet their soooo delicious!
What an adorably delicious treat! I just made these and mine are nowhere as cute. My personal favorite is the no skinny chicks cuppie.
I love your drawings! You're in Seattle? Me too! :) I work in Belltown.
Have a good night!
Those are truly just the cutest little cuppies ever! What a perfect marriage between Bakerella's baking magic and your drawing magic! (I see a business partnership in the offing. . . .I'm first in line at your new boutique!) :)
I kept reading this like the rhyme, "This little piggy goes to market..." I don't think I could have had the heart to eat those cute little truffles! I bet they tasted great though!
You are hilarious! I'm so happy that you liked them. I'm just sad that I couldn't be there to play, too!
I love the artist one and the mirror one and the space needle one and the jesus one… wait, I love them all.
They are very mischievous. They should be punished. I say eat them.
I heart them so much.
You two are the cutest (I mean you and Bakerella, because of course there are more than two of the adorable cuppies, ahem)!! Can't wait to see what's next.
can't wait to see her next move
This post is hilarious! I just found you through Bakerella and now adding you immediately to my google reader! :) I can't wait to read through your blog!!!

Tanya: Yea! That's totally what I was thinking too. Wish you could have seen my face taking the pictures, I kept on laughing.
Bakerella: You're too wonderful! I can't even say how delighted I was, not only with the creations (the expressions are perfect!! PERFECT!) but with the taste as well! Mr. Cakespy wants me to say he gives his official "thumbs up" too...although he had a moment where he said "I can't do it!".

This is absolutely priceless! Thanks for starting my day off with a smile. I needed one!
Those are absolutely fantastic! Watch out for the pigs cuppie!!
So funny!! I think that Cuppie is my new favorite cartoon character. Right up there with all the animals from the Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. Keep it coming L'il Cuppie!
What a great photoshoot!
This is sooooooooo adorable. Heading over to bakerella's site now!
I love them, my facorite is the big smile with the tongue sticking out. Grannies love cute ideas to make for their little ones. Thank you.

OMG!! Way too cute!! How hilarious to have them pose in different places! Their faces say it all!!
Love it! I know I can always come here to brighten up my day!

I cant stop visiting your blog. Amazing ideas and work

I want to know how they were mailed. They seemed to have arrived in excellent shape!
Now you've done it:) I'm speechless, breathless & hysterical all at the same time. When I contain my composure, I must visit Bakerella's.
Perhaps, your visitors would like to see my new Cuppie banner composed by the maestro herself, Jesse. It's incredible! and I thank you from the bottom of my empty cake pan...
My Blog
OMWord! this is TOO funny - made me chuckle! I LOVE IT!! how did they taste?! I bet yummy but it would be SO hard to gobble up such cuteness!
Oh my god. Cuppie finding Jesus = Genius.
I think the Seattle chapter of the cupcake meetup alliance needs to have a meet-up, soon.
That's so hilarious!
You could make a cute little storybook from them, with little pop up Cuppies. :)
Ha! I might keel over from the cuteness. Cakespy is the greatest!
I had to come look at this again - it's SOOO funny. I'm going to bookmark this for whenever I need a laugh. I especially love that cuppie doesn't like skinny chicks. Awesome use of the angry eyes.
The two of you are so sweet! ; ) I love these posts and hope the two of you get to meet soon.
Is that an edible Jesus?
"this little cuppie met Jesus" was my favorite! oh and the one who didnt like skinny chicks. hahahah! u guys are so fun! I'm glad you and bakerella share your talents and passion with us. thank you!
These are per-fect!! How fun!
a day in the life...i love it.
This is beyond adorable. Kudos to Bakerella for the lil cuppie creations and I LOVE all the trouble they've gotten in. My favorite, however, is the one who hates skinny chicks-- way to show the curvy girl love.
Peter: Thanks! Glad you liked it! The greedy one is me too!
Food Librarian: You're too sweet! I concur about the 90210 girls, btw!
Happy Cook: Me too!

Sylvia: Isn't it pretty ultimate? :-)
Liz: Thank you, that is so sweet!
StickyGooey: you're so welcome!
EB: That Cuppie was definitely NOT OK.
Amywholou: Thanks! Glad you like Cuppie. He's got a bit of a dark side, huh?

Atticelf: Glad you enjoyed it on both sides!
Ramya: Wow, that is high praise! Thank you!!!
Mandy: Yup, fancy that--you went to HS with Mr. Cakespy!!
Kyla: They were packed in boxes with the truffles close together so they didn't shift, with tissue paper topping them and keeping them in the box. Then, that inner box had a generous roll of bubble wrap around it and it was all within a bigger box. A lot of packaging but then again shipping foodstuffs is an art!
Louise: Yay! Thank you! It looks so great!
Katrina: I think soon! When we get back from NJ (going to my sister's wedding!0
Owl Chick: that's the next hope!!

Aww, very cute cuppies! :)
Jessie, you made my day again, and the cuppie that found Jesus was priceless! I love the expressions. Reminds me a little of Oh No, Mr Bill! I did a similar "photo shoot" with my Willy the Eggplant. At least you got to eat the cuppies. Mr. Willy rotted from the inside out!
BRAVO!
You can't eat these little cuppies! Let them live and travel some more!
(hope that last one was really a cannibal...)
OMG how adorable Cakespy!! I don't think I would dare eat one they are so beautiful and would gather dust on my dresser top :)

I like the little cupcake who's disapproving the skinny girls. Yeah, take that! Ladies who bake have to taste what they bake, right?
I love yours and Bakerella's battle. I hope it continues for my own enjoyment...and for the delight of seeing friendship and kindness!
I want to marry Bakerella.

Who knew truffles could be darling? I could not eat them.
Oh man, so so so cute!
Your blog it too stinking funny and I had to try these cupcake bites. Made some of my own although they are not as cute as Bakerella's. Check them out. :)
I read the story to my 3-year-old cousin, and she wants to ask cuppy, "why'd you eat your friends?"
Very cute!
The last picture is hilarious. I love it!
LMAO! How cute!
