Orange County based Two Parts Sugar continues to build an incredible portfolio of cupcake cuteness. Monica's style and design is flawless. The "Bull 2 Cow" Cupcakes are equally adorable and befitting National Cowboy Day. The purple flower on the cow's head is sweet detail. My Little Pony is just one of the many fantastic cupcakes created by award-winning baker Monica and her Two Parts Sugar brand.

What a precious photo!

Some may call it an obsession, but every successful
baker is passionate about their craft.

Star Bakery is the obvious pride and joy of 30-year old owner and baker Liana Stevens. Based in Nottingham, U.K. (Central England,) Liana has turned her passion for baking into a professional home-based business in little more than 6 months. She receives raves from local customers and thanks to the wonders of internet social networking, compliments from cake art admirers around the globe.

Liana's June 2009 stall at the Sherwood Festival in Nottingham sold out all 220 cupcakes by mid-afternoon! Today, she will no doubt repeat the same cupcake success at Nottingham Pride and sell all 400 cupcakes to new and established fans of her beautiful and delicious fairy cakes.

What impressed me about Liana, aside from her obvious stunning cupcake creations was her eagerness to share her professional cupcakery experience. The Star Bakery blog details a cupcake start up plan from the mundane to developing a customer base. Moreso, readers are offered valuable business shortcuts and suggestions, decorating tips like brush embroidery, recipes and advice on how to put your best cupcake forward in photos.

Most of all, for cupcake lovers like Zen Cupcake, we love looking at the photos. Even from afar we know awesome cupcakes when we see them! Our favorites are Liana's *pink* cupcakes, her beautiful cupcake colors and sweet floral designs.
