Hi, Just looooooove getting daily updates on your cupcake site.
Thought I’d share pics I took of my knitted cupcakes plus other cupcake paraphernalia. For some deeply obscure reason, I find that knitting and decorating cupcakes is divinely relaxing and non-fattening.

Thank you for sharing your Knitted Cupcakes Mosiacs with us! They are awesome!

We received these photos and this email from Swirlz Cupcakes Baker Hollin…

Hello, Cupcake Connoisseurs! I am one of the bakers at Swirlz Cupcakes in Chicago, and I have attached a couple of pictures showing the kinds of fun things we have been up to at our shop in the city. The first picture is of the raspberry lemonade cupcake that we made as a daily special in celebration (and anticipation) of hot summer days! We sold out of that flavor in about 3 hours! The second is a picture of one of our employees at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago with some of their nurses. For nurses week, we are donating a bunch of our cupcakes every day to show our appreciation for everything they do. Everyone here really loves your website, and we’d love to be included in your blog! Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing this with us! Those cupcakes look amazing! Nurses rock! I would love to be a L & D Nurse someday!

I decided at midnight Thursday May 7th to bake cupcakes for my son’s kindergarten class.  Here’s a look at what happens when you do just that.

I started with an upbeat attitude.  Made some coffee and I was on my way.  Interesting concept midnight = baking cupcakes!  Good Stuff!

I had mental blocks when it came to what I was going to use for the topping.  Publix was closed and I was in no mood to go out whether the stores were open or not.  So I went to the cabinets and Pink and Red toppings is was.  The other choices were butterfly’s, flowers, or hot pink.  Regardless, I finished and DRUM ROLL, Please: Here are the results ~ (Pictured above)

Thank you for sharing these with us Stephanie. They look yummy!
