This week’s sweet giveaway comes to you from Etsy crafter Zinicolas.   She specializes in high-quality handcrafted clay and fine silver jewelry.   These creations are all wearable works of art and each is uniquely designed.   I own one of these little pieces of heaven:

I think I was most impressed with the size of this piece and it’s detail.  Many pendants I have seen are very small and lack realistic characteristics.  Her cake slice is larger than most and looks so much like a real (miniature) cake slice!   I enjoy the bigger size because I get more comments and compliments from cake admirers! 

This week you, our loyal cupcake readers, will get the chance to win one item from Zinicholas.  Here’s the best part:  the winner will get to choose what item they want to receive!  Just go to Zinicholas and look at her sweet polymer clay items.  Then come back to ATC and click on the comment area below.  Please tell us what item you would pick to win AND what item you think she should create next.  Contest ends this Sunday so enter now!

Besides being (possibly) National Cupcake Day, March 3rd was also the first day that the District of Columbia allowed and licensed gay marriages. The usually quiet D.C. marriage bureau was swamped with couples that have waited for years to be able to legally tie the knot as well as crowds of well-wishers.

Now, how to celebrate this momentous occasion…what about cupcakes?  David Catania, the D.C. Councilmember who authored the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Equality Amendment Act of 2009 had just that idea. It appears that he was was so delighted by the results of his legislation that in celebration of its enactment he passed out boxes of cupcakes to the first 200 couple (of any orientation) to get their marriage license at the the Carl Moultrie Courthouse (500 Indiana Ave. N.W., D.C.).  Catania distributed vanilla and chocolate Hello Cupcakes as part of a joint celebratory gesture on the part of the Councilmember and the cupcakery.

Ok, I have to say it: that is just the sweetest thing I’ve heard all week :)
