I have a thing for cupcake cakes. Even when you can't tell there are cupcakes underneath, knowing they are there, smushed together by icing, artfully designed into fun shapes, just makes me happy. It's like taking all the fun of a well-decorated cupcake and multiplying it. So I wanted to share these cupcake cakes by Polkatots Cupcakes in Pasadena, California, via their Flickr account (see more examples here). I think their appeal is also that you know these were custom-made, that they're unique and special, and memorable. Note to self: have party for no reason whatsoever (my birthday's not til November) and get a cupcake cake! Order yours or get more info at polkatotscupcakes.com, and you can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.
And last but not least, a cupcake-shaped cupcake cake:
Cupcake cake cuteness: bear, pig, clown, little girl, Obama, Just Married and a very meta cupcake cupcake cake
