Knit Night Cupcakes
A friend of mine is having a going away party tonight. She got a great job in NYC, and they want her there immediately! Good news for her, but bad news for us here in Boston!
The party is also a Knit Night, so I thought I’d bring some appropriately decorated cupcakes. This was my first time working with marzipan, and what fun it is! Like, four hours of fun.
Speaking of the party, I gotta go! Forgive my lack of words; I hope I can make up for it with the ridiculous amount of photos!
On February 25th, 2008 I was on the Martha Stewart Show showing Martha how to make these. Here’s the clip!
Photo tutorials here.
Hello!
Just turned on the tv and saw you with Martha. Very very cool for you. Stay in touch!

I thought you were great on Martha! And, my mother thought it was pretty cool as well!
Wow. I just made a chair out of crochet that was inspired by a real cupcake.
Seem like yarn and cupcakes are a match made in heaven, huh?
And it’s Vegan!
i really like the cupcakes but i wish i could make them im trying to learn how to knit this year it sounds really cool.
Are you going to share with us how you did that????!!!!! They would be great for a friend of mine who knits constantly – she is pregnant with a girl and due in a couple of months. She would absolutely love these! Thanks, Renee
These are absolutely hysterical. I just love them. I am definately going to try them for my Monday night knitting group. Thanks.
Wunderschön! Vielleicht auch bald ein Renner in Deutschland?
Those are great. I have craft night every other monday night, and it”ll be my turn to make snack soon, I’ll have to try and make a crochet and crossstich version. I am truly inspired. Thank you for you wonderful and geniune genius to delectable creativity.
thanke you so much
danke ihnen ich bin suhair aus germany.
nice work love to knit and you did an amezinge job on the cup cakes good luck.
Gotta give you your Kudos!! Talent, patience,…you’ve got it! When I see wonderful additions to food such as these, the thing that jumps out at me though is how much the person had to use bare hands to make them…then I can’t eat them. They are so beautiful to look at though and add to themes so well. High five to You!!
That’s a really cute idea! The cupcakes are adorable.
Wowzer!!!
They are ab fab, I would love to know how to do these.
Wow. I have been doing cakes for a number of years now and I have never seen anything like this. They are really awesome.
wow they are so cute .love your work.
Very Cute! These take a lot more time than I have to give. If I ever need just a few of them, I could handle that. Keep on crafting!
Those are unbelievable…You have an incredible talent and one very lucky friend to have those and get to eat them :-) Great Job !!!
Wow – I’ve never seen work soooo detailed, just gorgeous!
Wow! This is really a creative idea. Looks really cute!
My grandma is turning 89 in a few months and she is the most wonderful knitter and makes the most beautiful crochettes. I want to tie that into a cake I want to bake her because Im only 16 and I really want to wow her. I am 100% going to use this, this is just amazing! thanks for helping me with my cake!
I am a crocheter but I love your idea for the cupcakes and cakes. I am always looking for new ideas. I have to try this. Wonderful idea!!!!
You’ve received the ultimate compliment: being invited to share your ideas and talent on the Martha Stewart Show. Well deserved…i love your blog.
these are very innovative cakes. I simply love them. keep it up
Those are so cool I love to bake and I might actually try that thanks for the idea. You were so great. Bye
Just perfect!!!
I was just wondering whether you would mind me showing in my blog what you do , so my students do some listening comprehension activities watching you on Tv making this wonderful cakes

Hello I just watched the video of you and Martha Stewart making the knitting balls and shirts, etc. I just have to add that this is one way of knitting that I could do since I can’t knit the regular way with yarn. I really enjoyed the video and by all means if you have any more please send them my way. Thank you .
The cupcakes are so cute and they look so good!
It’s really cool that Marth invited you to be on her show. I’s love to see more vegans cooking on t.v.!
I have never seen anything like this. I think that this is real good idea. I have make cakes alot. I even make cakes that people orders from me.
Wow, I remember your gorgeous knitted cupcakes when they featured on my ‘google alerts’ for cupcakes…fab to see they got you on TV! Fun to watch the clip just now & I’ve just been enjoying your recent posts. Thanks.
I would be too afraid to eat them, you spent so much time on them, that is amazing that anyone could or would be able to think of doing this. Very creative, you are talented!

I think this is aboslutely wonderful. and made me extremely hungry at the same time. I actually found you because a friend of mine was telling me about your take on the Hasperat sandwhich!
HAH!!
I just showed my seven year old the pictures of your beautiful cupcakes and she said, “Mommy, you need to eat those all up so then you will be able to knit everything!”
I bet you didn’t know that you had made cupcakes with super powers!
i wish i had those in my mouth, right now
sweet you’re an angel which has a angel’s hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are so cute! You’re very talented!
My mouth is watering! My eyes are delighted!

Here in Stroud, England, we have been knitting nearly 3000 baby hats for babies in the developing world – this was started off by our Member of Parliament in support of the Save the Children campaign. My challenge was to make a cake that looked like a knitted hat, for the tea party that was held to hand the hats over to Save the Children! These fantastic knitted cupcakes were just the inspiration I needed – many thanks!
