You may remember a few months ago Hungry Runner  shared a post about an adorable new book, Coco Levine, Cupcake Queen.  It is a sweet children’s book that mixes a cute storyline with fun recipes and crafts.  This book would be a great Christmas gifts when paired with an apron and some cooking supplies.   It is currently for sale on Amazon for only $11.99 and it is getting rave  reviews!  My little one loves this book and quickly wanted to do all the fun crafts.

A cupcake Christmas is the only one for me! I am from Tennessee and while we like to keep things traditional and tender during the Holiday Season I am opting for a more sweet approach. This year I am decking my silver tree with sweet cupcake ornaments to remind us to be a little sweeter this Christmas!

 Congratulations!  Please email your mailing address to [email protected].  Thanks to all our sweet fans and to KamNCo for sponsoring this great giveaway!

For those of you already gearing up for Christmas, you will love this week’s giveaway.  It is sponsored byKamNCo and check out these adorable cupcake Christmas ornaments they create.  Many people call them “cupfakes” because although they look real, they are made with inedible ingredients.   I have one and am amazed by it’s realistic appearance.  And they are light enough to go on a children’s Christmas tree.  How unbelievable  would a whole tree decorated with these be?

One lucky winner will receive a cupcake ornament!  So sweet!  To enter this week’s giveaway, click on the comment area below and tell us how you love to decorate for the holidays.  Do you use cupcakes?  Or maybe you go for a traditional country look?  Tell us what you do!  One winner will be chosen on Monday November 28th.  Thanks KamNCo for sponsoring this giveaway! 

Our cupcake soap dispenser winner has been chosen!  We asked everyone to tell us what a cupcake was to them.  Here’s our winner and her answer:

I think cupcakes are as close to HEAVEN as you can get.. The WHITE fluffy icing as the clouds in the sky. The COLORED sugar toppings are like twinkling little stars.. The CAKE is the sun that warms your soul as you INDULGE in a DIVINE treat that I know as “CUPCAKES”… MMMMM….. HEAVENLY !!!

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 [email protected].  Thanks so much to all our sweet fans that entered this giveaway.  And many thanks also to Penguin Cupcake Towers for sponsoring this giveaway. 

With cupcakes growing in popularity over the past few years, many people have been substituting cupcakes for cakes at large functions.  Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries- all with cupcakes as the main dessert and centerpiece.  And that is where cupcake towers have blossomed in popularity as well.   They display your cuppies without taking up a lot of space. 

Our giveaway this week is from Penguin Cupcake Towers.  One winner will get to choose either the Humboldt or the Emperor Cupcake stand.  The true beauty of these stands is that they are made to be decorated to match your event theme.  Spray paint it, cover it with ribbon, flowers, fabric, glitter- whatever you want! 

To enter this giveaway, click on the comment area below and tell us how you would decorate your cupcake tower if you won.  One winner will be chosen on Monday, September 19th.  Thank you Penguin Cupcake Towers!

My favorite is the Rainbow Sprinkles girls and baby Pettiskirt!! It’s so adorable and every time I look at it, it reminds me of cupcakes!! :D My little one would love it!! Everytime she gets something with a cupcake on it, she does the “Cupcake Dance”, the dance you posted here on all things cupcake a long time ago in 2008. So it would be really cute if I could see that dance come back again!! Her birthdays coming up too, so a 25 dollar gift certificate would come in handy!

The 5 Tier Round Cupcake Tower would be my favorite. I imagine what the 4 tier flower tower will look just as splendid.  I cannot even begin to describe ALL the possibilities! I make faux cupcakes and sell them on etsy so this would be a PREFECT way to display them. I could make one double and one triple cupcake display. I could even put garland around the edges for Christmas. Trick it out w/ some cameo silhouettes of some creepy old people. Drape some faux lollipops w/ some twinkling lights for birthday parties. (shivers) So exciting LOL.   Oh and that cake pop stand is to die for!
