Show and Tell – Cupcake Party

Posted by on Monday, October 6th, 2008

You are invited to a party… A Cupcake Party!

Ashleigh loves cupcakes and did her son Caden’s birthday party with the cupcake theme. From cupcake invitations, to a giant cupcake cake. Even the cheese slices were shaped like little cupcakes!

Ashleigh made this large cupcake shaped cake from scratch! She bought a big cupcake cake pan. The bottom was on one side, and the top part on the other side of the pan. It is two pieces put together. She put a round cardboard between them to make it easier to slice. 

Please visit Ashleigh’s mother’s blog, Yellow Rose Arbor, to read the whole story and see all of the wonderful photos from Caden’s second birthday party.

Getting MORE out of Fall

Getting MORE out of Fall

October Specials and Promotions at MORE

Chicago, Ill. (October 2008) — Just when Chicago thought the couture cupcakes at MORE (One E. Delaware St., Chicago; 312-951-0001) couldn’t get any better, owner Patty Rothman has whipped up some fun promotions to accompany her delicious one-of-a-kind treats. During the month of October, the customers of MORE not only have a chance to sample an array of autumn-themed cupcakes to celebrate the beginning of fall, but they are invited to participate in exciting events. 

About MORE

MORE, located at One East Delaware Place at the intersection of State Street and Delaware in Chicago, is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Sunday. For more information, contact MORE at (312) 951-0001 or send an e-mail to [email protected]. Please visit www.morecupcakes.com.

“Help MORE, Hope MORE
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and with one in eight women still being diagnosed with breast cancer, MORE hopes to use sweetness in the fight against cancer. On Saturday, October 4, MORE?s glass wall will feature the special “Hope MORE” cupcake, a treat worthy of this cause, a White Velvet cake base with luscious pink vanilla butter cream, garnished with pink and white curls.

Throughout the month of October, a portion of the sales of the “Hope MORE” cupcake will continue to go directly to numerous breast cancer charities.  Enjoy a ?Pink? White Velvet cupcake and hope MORE for a cure.”

Score MORE, Win MORE, Want MORE
Chicago is witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime event with two hometown baseball teams in the Playoffs and MORE is in on the action. The day of, or the day following a Cubs or Sox win, customers decked out in the winning Chicago team’s garb are invited to visit MORE (One E. Delaware St., Chicago, IL). With a purchase of six cupcakes, the decked-out fan will receive a free

“MORE” cupcake.*
The “MORE” is a delectable and decadent chocolate cupcake, filled with housemade marshmallow, and iced with a silky chocolate ganache, fast becoming a favorite flavor at this newly opened Gold Coast bakery.

While the teams score more and win more, the fans score MORE and win MORE, and will of course, want MORE. This promotion will run for the duration of the playoffs as long as a Chicago team stays in, which leaves the fans only one option: don your favorite team apparel, cheer on your team, watch them score and get thee to MORE!

* A customer wearing both Sox and Cub attire at the time of a six-cupcake purchase does not grant him or her two free cupcakes, just two times the opportunity to gloat.

Vote MORE
Starting now until the November 4 Presidential election, MORE will take a bipartisan view and feature both “Obama” and “McCain” cupcakes. Both cupcakes are a rich, cocoa-embodied red velvet cupcake, topped with the signature MORE cream cheese frosting.  The only difference between them lies in the simple star propped upon the pillows of frosting. Cast your vote.  A red star cupcake represents your vote the McCain-Palin ticket, while a blue star cupcake represents a Obama-Biden vote.

With their Presidential Cupcakes, MORE encourages customers to “Vote Early and Vote MORE” as they will be tracking the sale of each Presidential cupcake and updating the results; a mouth-watering Gallup Poll indeed. MORE employees will also be donning the trademarked “Vote MORE” t-shirts which will be available for politically-minded customers to purchase and sport while snacking on their favored Party’s cupcake. If only the actual vote tasted this good.

Minnie Mouse Cupcake

Posted by on Sunday, October 5th, 2008


Although cupcakes weren’t part of the order to go with the Minnie Mouse cake, I’ve been wanting to make some since I saw Debbiedoescakes’ mouse cupcakes a while ago, so I did these just for fun!

I’m not happy with the pink cases I bought though, as they turn a dark coral colour when the cakes are baked, so I gave this one a skirt!
