Let Them Eat {Cup}Cakes!


Ta-da! The final cupcake poster!

I want to thank the sixteen people that submitted their fabulous recipes, plus I want to thank Julie from Facebook for suggesting the title.

If interested, you can purchase the final poster here.

Next month I'll be playing a fun game of mix and match...using pears as my point of inspiration. If you'd like to participate, check out this blog or Facebook.

Happy New Year!

Kiwi-Lime Grapefruit Cupcakes


I've enjoyed highlighting some of the winners from the Mystery Box Cupcake Challenge and thought this one was especially cute.

Pink and green was one of my favorite childhood color combinations, so it's fitting that the theme for this cupcake challenge was "childhood memories".

Check out this lovely recipe from Heather at Heather Vision Photography & More.
