Cupcake Book Giveaway!!!

tag : Uncategorized

comment : 15

 Awhile back, I mentioned my excitement over the upcoming book “What’s New Cupcake?”, by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. Their last book “Hello, Cupcake” was a bestseller, and for good reason. They give tons of creative ideas for decorating cupcakes that anyone can do. Using materials such as candy, donut holes, canned frosting and a Ziplock bag, you can create a super cute, professional looking cupcake.

“What’s New, Cupcake?”, was not scheduled to be released until April. So, I was super excited when the release date was bumped up and I received my book from Amazon last week. This book is possibly even better than the first, with creative cupcake ideas like Chinese Takeout cupcakes (created to look like lo mein and fried rice), Karaoke cupcakes (they show us how to make little microphone toppers), and a super cute If I Only Had A Brain scarecrow cupcakes for the fall. The pictures of the finished creations are beautiful– you will want to start decorating immediately after seeing them!!


So…because the only thing better than having awesome stuff is sharing awesome stuff, I chose this book for my first giveaway!! Just leave a comment below telling me your favorite cupcake, whether it be a favorite decorated cupcake, or a favorite flavor. Please be sure to include your email address so I can email you if you win!! 


Please do not enter more than once. Drawing ends Monday, March 29 at midnight EST. Winner will be chosen by Random.org Tuesday morning and I will post the results by 10 am EST.


I look forward to sending this book to you!!


Good Luck!!

Thanks for reading!! I put lots of love into this post, so if you enjoyed it, please leave a comment, share, or subscribe. (As you can probably tell, I'm in constant need of validation, so this keeps me from questioning my self worth and crying into a box of wine) If, by some chance, you didn't enjoy the post, take it up with my personal zombie ninja.

    Hmm… I think my favorite I've ever seen are the Coke Snowglobe ones on bakerellas site.. Even thought I've never attempted to make them.. But out of ones I've made? They were little Easter baskets, complete with eggs, & bunnies! :)

    Such a cute cookbook! My fingers are crossed!

    My favourite cupcake that I've made so far is the Lemon Meringue Cupcake. I'm a huge citrus fanatic and they're ever so tasty.

    This would make a great gift! My favorite cupcake would have to be … vanilla. It's perfect when it's well made!
