here comes peter cottontail... week of 3/30

yay for april! that means yay for easter!
for those of you that don't know yet... easter is totally my FAVORITE holiday ever.- right behind my birthday, of course.
so i've decided to devote the whole month of april to it :)

heres the first week(end) of cupcake making... for the week of 3/30. (which means first batch around 4/4). that gives you about a week to think of ideas and submit them!

some inspiration:
something springy
something that will look totally deliche in my cute new easter cupcake liners that char bought me :)
and something that gets everyone in the mood for spring! (cuz i'm ready for no more snow!)

happy almost spring! (for us coloradans...) :)

bienvenidos a weekend cupcake


so... here's the latest and greatest idea via ashley white- weekendcupcake!

the idea:
you (the many friends and neighbors that request/pass along great cupcake ideas) submit your suggestions via this blog (just click "comment" on the postings) to what cupcakes just sound fabulous to you this week.
i, in return, will make them. :)
those fortunate enough to live nearby will get the awesome opportunity to taste.
and those that don't... well... i'll try to figure out a way to get one to you. (only if you post!!!)
i'll decide which ones to make by which ones get the most postings, which are the most creative, and overall- which ones sound yummiest.

the way this idea came to be is that a.) we all use facebook/twitter on a daily basis as it is... so what's once a week?? and b.) i love suggestions for cupcakes, i just can't make them every other day. so, by making them once a week, i'll be able to try everyone's ideas...

this is also a great way for me to start experimenting more... and a way for me to be forced to take pics of my end results! every time i make cupcakes it seems like someone tells me "wow, yours are better than {insert name here}" or "have you ever made {insert name of goodness}?" or "you should really open you're own business...". i would love to make that a reality but you have to start somewhere, right?? so bring on your ideas!

some of my old postings can be found here, which i will still post on for various other bakings...

muchos muchos thanks to everyone for getting involved with this! ... more exciting things to come!

ok... so who wants a cupcake... ??
