Sometime over the past five years or so cupcakes became all the rage.  Try getting a cupcake at Magnolia Bakery in New York City, oh, any time of day.  There are lines down around the corner.  Every New Yorker has their favorite cupcake shop (mine was Sugar Sweet Sunshine on the Lower East Side, which I think is by far the best) and Oprah made Sprinkles in Beverly Hills a household name.  Along with all the trendiness of cupcakes themselves comes all kinds of cupcake-themed items, such as...

A kitchen timer that looks like a cupcake.  Cute.  It's made from hand-painted resin and sells for $21.95.

This cupcake hat is adorable.  It's hand-knit from synthetic yard and sells for $30.

This cute little cupcake necklace comes in chocolate and vanilla versions and retails for $30.

Aw, cute little cupcake-shaped speakers for your iPod.  They're made by SEMK but it seems there's no word on pricing or availability just yet.

Today's blog was inspired by Kaboodler slightlypale's "Everything Cupcake" list, which has many more awesome cupcake items.  Let us know what you think in the comments.
