Incredibly Creative Origami Cupcakes

Something sweet today! The moment I came across these guilt-free cupcakes by Justina Yang, I knew they would be perfect to showcase here. I've been an admirer (and customer) of her paper art for the past several years, ever since the opening of Etsy shop Fiber Lab. Justina is always whipping up something clever... you might remember her astonishing paper croissant, PANCAKE maps, and now these remarkable cupcakes... hmm, I'm sensing a tasty trend.

Origami Paper Cupcake

Hard-pressed to pick a favorite from the collection of six frosting flavors, this imaginative cookie with a splash of milk definitely brings a smile. Each paper cupcake is oh so tasteful, though not in a typical dessert sense. Instead, they are elegant and long-lasting.

I asked Justina to share a bit about her cupcake design process:

Well, as you may already know, I've been obsessed with making paper food for a while now - maybe it has something to do with this "logic": paper -> books -> stories -> imagination -> magical otherworld where things aren't exactly what they seem. The whole cupcake series was also prompted by a study on curved folding, which I had neglected to explore before, due to the fact that it's not as collapsible as straight edges. But to me, there is just something beautiful and whimsical about smooth lines. So I cooked up a way to present different curved folding techniques as cupcake frostings, each named after a paper product.

This personalized Love Letter arrived in pristine condition. Of course it has a place of honor on my desk! Justina's degree in structural engineering assures she has packaging down to a science.

I'd be remiss if I didn't share a few pics of the gorgeous folded paper hanging decorations and lighting she creates as well.
