Duffy’s Sports Grill of Florida is celebrating Veteran’s Day the right way–with cupcakes! From now through the end of the month, spend a dollar on a cupcake and Duffy’s will donate $0.50 to Honor Flight, an organization that helps American Veterans of World War II visit the memorials in Washington D.C. that honor their service and sacrifices. What a great idea Duffy’s!
Now that is a cupcake tattoo! This photo was taken by Jacquie Gibson at the Ink for Heroes tattoo convention, which was held in York in June. Ink for Heroes raised money and awareness for injured soldiers.
One way that they did this is through the Cupcake Club. The Cupcake Club consists of Rose Green, Colleen Moss, and other talented volunteers who attend shows all over the UK, tattooing cupcakes and raising money and awareness for soldiers.
Here is what their website has to say about cupcake tattoos: A cupcake is a permanent symbol and reminder that you have given and supported such a worthy cause. The Cupcake Club has tattooed hundreds of cupcakes on hundreds of supportive people.

My stand mixer gets quite a workout, and doesn’t have much time to collect dust, but I’m still tempted to pick up one of these cute cupcake stand mixer covers from Etsy seller PlayingWithDolls. The covers sell for $18 each and 10% of each sale goes to support Volunteers in Medical Missions, an organization that provides free medical care to people in developing countries.
Love cats? Love cupcakes? Live in Denver? Boy, have I got an opportunity for you! Cupcakes for Cats!
On Friday, September 16th, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., there will be a cupcake sale in downtown Denver, at the 16th Street Mall, 16th and California. But this is no ordinary cupcake sale. Funds raised will go to the Cat Care Society in Lakewood.
Six bakeries are helping: Butterfly Confetti Cakes, Cake Crumbs, Daveeda’s Delights, Happy Cakes, Lovely Confections, and Maggie & Molly’s Bakery.
Cat Care Society is a nonprofit organization that operates a cage free shelter for homeless, injured, and abused cats in the Denver area.

While reading one of my favorite blogs, Paper Crave, I noticed a post about a recipe book complied by over 50 bloggers. All proceeds from the cook book, titled Recipes to Help, go to The American Red Cross. Cupcake recipes included in the book are a recipe for chocolate cupcakes with nutella, almond butter, and vanilla cream cheese frosting by Good Life (eats) and derby cupcakes from The Polka Dot Chair. The book is available in print or as a e-book, each are $10.00.
Gigi’s Cupcakes of Savannah Georgia is using cupcake power to help a local foodbank, America’s Second Harvest. Customers who bring in food to donate are treated to a discount on in-store orders.

In fact, on Saturday, if you bring in five or more canned goods between 1 and 6, you get a free cupcake!
