Hello Everyone, This is in regards to the contest that Vanessa (heyprettycupcake) held in February. I have contacted her to see if she had picked a winner, and she has not yet. Please e-mail her with any questions or to let her know you submitted… [email protected]

Thanks!!!! :D

One of us WILL win this. Sure, the prize is just a stupid cupcake tree, but like Amy said, “Who cares if the prize is a peppermint candy from the bottom of her purse? It’s Martha.” I would cherish that peppermint.

Hey all you ATC fans, I would like to present an awesome contest to you! We are looking for the most unique cupcake. ANYTHING cupcake. This can be a baked cupcake, a crafted cupcake, a drawn cupcake, a super awesome cupcake item, ANYTHING cupcake and anything that is unique. You can use something already made or make/create something new but it MUST be yours.

If you have the most unique cupcake, you will receive a cupcake gift pack. This pack will include a ton of cupcake items! The prize itself is a surprise so you won’t know what it is until you win!

There will be 1 grand prize and 2 runner ups. The runner ups will get an adorable cupcake mirror, like one below.

You can send in your submissions through email or you can post pictures in the comments. Please include your name, email address, a brief description and of course an image. The winner will be announced in 2 week (march 3rd) through a blog here! Good luck!

EDITED TO ADD: A lot of cupcake fans have emailed me to ask me if these mirrors are available to purchase. They ARE! I can make a load of them so if you’re interested, they are only $6.00 and they come with a cute little velour bag! I have several cupcake designs to chose from or I can send a random one, just send me an email!

Check out mod*mom for a fantastic giveaway of 10 dozen divvies cupcakes! Wow, that’s a lot of cuppies! These tasty treats were created with allergy sufferers (and vegans!) in mind- they are dairy, egg, peanut and tree nut free. Head over to mod*mom before midnight on Valentine’s Day and enter to win! These cupcakes and their creators were featured on Martha Stewart on Tuesday, so you know they’re a good thing ;)

I wanted to post something a little different from just shopping cupcake items so I opened up google and did a search for “cupcake crafts tutorial”. The items that I came up with were simply amazing. That there to your left might look like your ordinary crocheted cupcake, but its so much more!

It is an actual crocheted cupcake. Inside of it, is a yogurt container. Isn’t that amazing!

“I came up with these cupcake containers as a multi-purpose gift this past Christmas.

Each “cup” is formed around a yogurt container, with chenille “cake” and “sprinkles” on top.

I filled each one with jewelry, lip gloss, and other fun trinkets.

They’re a great way to re-use yogurt cups and finish off yarn scraps. “

You can find the whole tutorial here.

EternalSunshine is having a Valentine’s give away and all you have to do is comment on this post by February 1st and one lucky commenter will win one of these amazing crocheted cupcakes!

If you would rather purchase one, you can do so at her Etsy Shop. She has red velvet and chocolate, each adorned with some adorable heart buttons!

Carla of Dessert Lounge is the new Cupcake Hero. Her Guiness Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting can not be passed up. This cupcake is perfect. PERFECT! The gingerbread cupcake has a bold, rich, deep flavor. The fresh cranberries tartness cut through the gingerbread complimenting the cake. And cream cheese frosting on top add the perfect sweetness. The flavors blended together so well. Oh so good. Better than good. Great! Anyone who is a fan of gingerbread should give it a try.

Check out the rest of the Cupcake Hero: Cranberry Round-up. More cranberry cupcakes than you ever imagined.

Our fellow Cupcake Blogging friends over at Cupcakes Take The Cake are holding a contest. They are giving away this awesome cupcake necklace.

Head on over to their blog to enter. How do you win? Well it’s simple. They say “Leave a comment here anytime from now until Friday, December 7th at 5 p.m. We’ll pick a winner and have the necklace sent out! All you have to do is tell us, aside from this necklace, what piece of cupcake merchandise (aside from an actual, edible cupcake, of course!) that you most want for the holidays (links are great but not necessary). And maybe someone special will see this post and grant your wish. You MUST either put your email address in your comment or link to a site where your email address is readily findable. One entry per person, thank you. Please tell your friends about this contest!”
