Cupcake Tower Winner

By on Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

This was an exciting giveaway this week and now it’s time to announce our cupcake tower winner from Penguin Cupcake Towers! *Drum Roll Please!*
Our winner is…

Haylee O’Donnell

I’m making cupcakes for 80 guests, for a friend’s parents 25th wedding anniversary. I have never made that many cupcakes before, and I agreed before I thought about it, I realised I’d need something to display them, so all day today I’ve been hunting for cake stands and D.I.Y seems the best option. I was planning on decorating each tier with a pretty silver wrapping paper and I found adorable 25th Anniversary ribbon in white and silver which I’d line the edge of the tiers with, I’d probably top it of with some white roses dotted among the cupcakes, because flowers and cake = perfection :). Then I saw this contest posted on Facebook and thought it must be my destiny to enter!

Congrats!  Please email us at atcwinner@gmail.com.  Thanks so much to all our sweet fans that entered this giveaway.  And many thanks also to Penguin Cupcake Towers for sponsoring this giveaway.

CoCo Levine, Cupcake Queen

By on Sunday, September 18th, 2011

CoCo Levine, Cupcake Queen: Fabulous Adventures in Cooking, Crafting, and Friendship is a story about a little girl that lives inside a cupcake.  This children’s book includes more than just a story, it also activities like crafts and baking recipes.  Growing up my mom always incorporated us kids into the cooking and baking.  Even if it was small jobs like pouring or mixing we were asked to assist.  I like that this book encourages involving kids in the activities of the kitchen at an early age.  I also like that it starts creating the love of cupcakes early on!  The book is available on Amazon for $11.99.

Taste of Home Cupcake Newsletter

All I Really Want Poster

By on Friday, September 16th, 2011

It went from being 90 degrees one day to 60 the next here in South Carolina.  I can’t help but want to throw on a scarf and enjoy a cup of tea and eat a cupcake.  This poster that says “All I really want to do all day is just eat cake” is so true for how I feel today.  The poster is by Jessica Ford Design and costs 40.00 euro.  Also I know it says cake but it shows a cupcake and really who doesn’t want to eat cake or cupcakes all day?
