When you're a fan of cupcakes, you're really a fan of cupcakes. Sure you eat them, but you also wear them, decorate yourself in them, and bake them. A cupcake lover is constantly seeking out new cupcake gear and accessories. While Boston only has a few fabulous cupcake shops, they have no shortage of cupcake-related paraphernalia. So stock all your cupcake stuff and you'll be in cupcake heaven in no time.

Cupcake Jewelry

One of the best things about cupcakes is how pretty they are. Another pretty thing is jewelry. So, when you combine cupcakes and jewelry, the result is absolutely phenomenal. If you love cupcakes, you’ll want to decorate yourself in cupcake jewelry.

Tiffany's Cupcake Necklace #1

Widget_d96txtsjdizzuz_gxvumid

The only thing better than cupcakes and jewelry? Tiffany cupcake jewelry.

Oh, how I so desire this Tiffany’s cupcake necklace charm. And considering the fact that it’s Tiffany, it’s relatively inexpensive. The charm is only $150, while the charm with the chain is $200. Anybody wanna buy me a gift?

Tiffany Cupcake Necklace #2

Widget_dgodz0skfmubmtffxjklqw

Oh hi, like one Tiffany cupcake necklace wasn’t enough? So this one is a little more elaborate, made with 18K yellow and white gold. Not to mention, it has blue and pink sapphires and tsavorites adorning it. And yes, the price reflects the beautiful adornments. The charm will cost you $1,350 and the charm with necklace is an extra $150.

Claire's Cupcake Jewelry

Claire's

1 Milk Street, Boston, MA 02109

OK, so they may not be as cute as the Tiffany selection. At all. But if you can’t quite afford Tiffany jewelry right now, you might want to head over to Claire’s. They always seem to have a large selection of cute cupcake related jewelry. I can’t promise it won’t turn your ears green….I’m kidding. Claire’s is cheap but safe. I should know, I got my ears pierced there twice!

Cupcake Apparel

This one’s kind of obvious, but if you really love cupcakes, you should be wearing them whenever and wherever you can. Though some might consider apparel covered in cupcakes to be quite juvenlile, I disagree. Cupcakes are fun and youthful yes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear them as a muture adult.

Johnny Cupcakes

Johnny Cupcakes

279 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02116

I’m a big fan of Johnny Cupcakes clothing and apparel, though it is a bit overpriced. But come on, how fun is it? Johnny originally made the first t-shirt as a joke, because people were constantly calling him “Johnny Cupcake.” When people saw the shirt, they all wanted one. And thus, Johnny Cupcakes was born. Now it seems like everyone wants one.

Some people get mad when they walk by the Newbury St. shop and think Johnny Cupcakes actually sells cupcakes. It even looks like a bakery inside! The t-shirts and apparel are displayed in bakery display cases and refrigerator units.

Cupcake Pajamas

Widget_ag9elnmp1mnr53ymqledjf

Cupcake apparel that really is for adults! These cupcake pajamas look so cute and comfy. Why wouldn’t you want to take cupcakes to bed with you at night??

Read About Cupcakes

What’s the only thing better than actually eating cupcakes? Reading about them, of course. Sometimes the pictures and descriptions are so good you can almost taste them. Almost. But not quite.

Still. There are some absolutely beautiful cupcake books out there and not only will they help you get through your time without cupcakes, they’ll give you some fab inspiration for making your own!

Widget_a_rkxzn6njxqq8a3hzykxk

I’m “crazy about cupcakes,” so I should probably buy this book. There are tons of unique cupcake baking ideas inside, perfect for inspiration.

Widget_cgaixqkndkepn4-szzgtx5

A) I love the name of this book. And would probably buy it for the name alone.

B) I desperately want to make the dog cupcakes on the cover of the book. They look so completely difficult, but so amazingly awesome.

Cupcake Baking Accessories

Of course, if you’re that into cupcakes, you don’t wait for the store down the street from you to open. You make the cupcakes yourself. Luckily, baking cupcakes is more fun than just mixing some batter and putting it in a cupcake tin. Many stores in and around Boston offer tons of cute cupcake accessories to make your cupcake baking more fun and to make cupcakes even more appealing.

Individual Cupcake Container

Widget_aguzaagklpiqdkyeu4dg8v

How perfect is this? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to take a cupcake for my lunch and have had to throw it in a plastic baggy. By the time I get to work the cupcake doesn’t even look like a cupcake anymore and the frosting is smeared all over the bag.

This idea is genius. And can be found at William Sonoma.

Giant Cupcake Cake Mold

Widget_c_ud-pwfxi1rd2zo3ypy4-

Is it a cupcake or is it a cake? Well, it’s a cupcake cake. For those occasions when you want more than a cupcake, but just can’t get over how cute cupcakes are, make a giant cupcake.

This cupcake cake mold can also be found at William Sonoma.

Sprinkles Cupcake Mix

Widget_cp2ptm8dlp9iqtfjpyyjko

So you can’t make it to Cali everyday for a cupcake from Spinkles. But you can make them on your own with Sprinkles cupcake mix from William Sonoma. Yay!

And shhh, I heard a rumor that a Sprinkles Cupcake shop is coming to Boston soon!

Williams Sonoma

Cupcake Boxes

Widget_blqwryixbiipadyrsssyeg

Another fabulous idea. I usually throw a few cupcakes on a plate and cover it with some saran wrap. But these are actually adorable and highly functional as well. Bring them to parties, give them as gifts, whatever you want! Well, of course they’re absolutely adorable. They’re made by Martha Stewart!

Cupcake Carrier

Widget_d_3pqxaozkpyobysqq10--

Martha Stewart also makes the most adorable cupcake carrier. Or maybe it’s just that her cupcakes are so adorable. I’m pretty sure it’s a combination of both. She’s just awesome in everything she does.

Mac Macy's Boston

450 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02111

All of Martha Stewart’s cupcake accessories can be found at Macy’s stores. So go head on over to one!

Buy Cupcakes

OK, so you just can’t resist it anymore. You need to stop looking at cupcakes and thinking about cupcakes and start eating them. So hang up your apron and go to these hot Boston cupcake locations.

Party Favors Cupcakes

Widget_d-aak7zffod5hzysc6pys9

These cupcakes are my heaven.

Party Favors

1356 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02446

Party Favors is my favorite place in the entire world. Period. No questions asked. These cupcakes are the best of the best and it’s extremely dangerous for me that I live so close! But then, I’m not sure I could survive without them.

Sweet

Widget_autrpklubdkiezlbho40gb

I want to eat every single cupcake in Sweet’s display case. Every single one.

Sweet

49 Mass Ave. Boston, MA 02115

Sweet is the newest cupcake shop in Boston and since it specializes in cupcakes, you know they do a damn good job. And since one of my best friends works at Sweet, it ends up being a very, very dangerous place for me. But I love it all.

Cupcakes Are All Over Boston!

Follow this map to each location and you’ll be in cupcake heaven. Who knew Boston had so many cupcake opportunities?!
