The Inspiration Source post strikes again!! This time though with a format which is slightly different from the previous one posted 
The aim of this post series is to help inspire a great idea for your latest website layout, WordPress template, banner, outfit … etc!
How about using a cute Cupcake inspired design?? Cupcakes are a very cute choice as they come in a different variety of colours and shapes (easy to build up a layout using your favourite colour schemes!), they’re very fashionable at the moment (pictures are easy to find + that means you can easily make matching graphics as well!), and they’re easy to create for yourself (how about making your own cupcakes and taking a picture of them?? Or else you can easily try and create one using Fimo!). However, keep in mind that cupcake designs are also very popular at the moment, so you might want to think about making something out of the ordinary to stand out of the crowd!

I never actually have any special interest in cupcakes before. Nut after seeing all those colourful and yummy cupcake designs, I think it’s time for me to start making some myself. ^^ Lol

thanks for the compliment dear!!

OMFG, I LOVE the idea behind this … Layout inspiration ideas?! GENIUS.
Howeverrrr, I’m not fond of cupcakes at all.
I don’t really like the way they look, don’t like to eat them, and I’m not too fond of making ‘em, either — It’s like icing a million mini cakes! So messy! 
I kind of suck balls right now, I know.
Just thought I’d be honest instead of going, ‘OOH YUMMIE CUPCAKIES’, haha. 
But yes, I am a shit.
UsingMay 24th, 2009 @ 2:10 am
thanks & don’t worry about your utter hate of cupcakes xD i’m not fond of eating sweets a lot as well hihihi (& the icing …. ergh …. i most especially hate the taste of it :s) but i LOVE looking at them – i guess that’s why the world’s a lovely place: everyone’s different
