I'm not sure that I mentioned...except to everyone in my household and other other friends and family types and anyone else within a 50-mile radius...that Julie Hasson, (pictured at left) author of 125 Best Cupcake Recipes, and I have been exchanging emails since October...At first I thought it was someone on her staff doing the writing, but she assured me that she is really her. Julie came up with the idea of the first-ever 52 Cupcakes holiday give away of two copies of her books, autographed by her!
Well, the autographed books arrived today! I love this idea...so now it begins...Here's the way it will work: Ready, Set, Go...It starts RIGHT NOW! To enter this contest, just make a comment on this post. The contest ends at 9:00 p.m. (EST) on Dec. 16. I will draw two names...from whoever has posted...out of my favorite hat, and announce the two winners about an hour later. I'll mail the books out to the winners on Saturday, Dec. 17...just in time for Christmas! (unless someone from Australia wins...then it may take a little longer to arrive!) Okay...let's get it started!
(If I don't hear back with contact info from a winner by noon (EST) on the 17th, I'll pick another winner.)
Holiday Give Away! Two Autographed Copies of Julie Hasson's Cupcake Book!

ReplyDeleteme me me! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet, Soft Cupcakes & Sweet Kisses are the best things.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Cross my fingers, cross my heart, hope I win this work of art!
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on the previous post, because I am SO making those candy cane cupcakes this weekend! (but thought I would post on this one in order to enter your contest!)
ReplyDeletebest wishes
Love your blog! You have inspired me to bake more. Keep up the good work. And I hope I win!! : )
ReplyDeleteReady to make candy cane cupcakes, and waiting for the lemon meringue recipe. Did I miss it? It's entirely possible~
ReplyDeleteJanet
I don't own even one cupcake cookbook. :-(
ReplyDeletewow, count me in! thanks :)
ReplyDeletePretty please with sugar on top, toss my name in the hat :-)
ReplyDeleteFYI for the bargain-hunting-cupcake-bakers, Ross dept store had cool 12-cupcake pan with snap-on lid (with handles) last week.
ooohh...i've had my eye on that book. count me in, please. last june, my birthday present to a friend was a year of cupcakes. I bake her a dozen cupcakes every month for a year. So, I'm always looking for inspiration, which is how I found your site a few months ago. Thanks for sharing your discoveries and experiments with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a contest. I have been too chicken to post before, but nothing gets me motivated like freebies :)
ReplyDeletePS I tried my hand at the candy cane cupcakes last night (photo evidence here) - they are absolutely delicious! Can't wait til next week for the next holiday recipe.
Drawings, yay! Unfortunately it's 7 AM and I just (literally) woke up. (Waiting for the ol' roommate to vacate the bathroom...) So I don't have a lot to say but I love your blog. Hopefully it turns into 104 Cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, my email! cheeann [at] xholdfastx [dot] com.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteSign me up!
ReplyDeleteThis seems a good time to ask you whether I can run off your idea of doing a 52 week project? Instead of doing cupcakes, I want to make a history/tourism blog. Take a look at 52sydney.blogspot.com and tell me what you think (I'm yet to post anything newsworthy).
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Karen in Australia
Sweet! I could use a book on baking cupcakes to prepare for the holidays. *smile*

I have to say that there has been some really amazing recipes here. I never knew just how good cupcakes could be... A recipe book on just cupcakes is almost so good its naughty.

ReplyDeletewould love that cupcake book!
I'm in like flint. Of course, I love cupcakes and your blog is divine!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try the lemon meringue recipe? One can never have to many dessert cookbooks. I have Magnolia's and Buttercup Bakeshop's, but one that's all cupcakes sounds divine. Contact: onlineheather@yahoo.com!=)Thanks for the sweet blog, Cupcake Queen!
ReplyDeleteHeather ;)
How cool!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog--cupcakes would be a great treat to bring into my 11th grade classroom. If only I had a cupcake recipe book at my disposal... (dramatic sigh)
ReplyDeleteAs your token Aussie fan, I'd like to say how much I love your blog. Cupcakes rule our household too! wild.iris@bigpond.com
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! This is a fun giveaway!

All Hail the Queen. I've been admiring your creations on Flickr. I didn't know you had a blog, too. Now I heart you even more. If I were to capture the book, I'd want your fair autograph as well because you have inspired - and made me hungry- for months. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteJust bookmarked this. I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win!!! Happy Holiday's to my favorite cupcake lady! :) Autumn

ReplyDeleteThank you!
the only thing I like better than eating cupcakes is looking at pictures of them. the book looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Id love to have this. I have been eyeballing it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to every Monday because I get to try another yummy cupcake. Nancy
ReplyDeleteAnd here's someone that's not even Australia, but New Zealand! We love our cupcakes here as well :)
ReplyDeleteOooo, I'd like to enter this. I have a number of other cupcake cookbooks, but not this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog; I'm really enjoying it week by week. Now that you're two-thirds of the way through, I hope you're planning on continuing once you hit the 52 week mark. I'd love to do something similar, maybe with cookies or cakes or something else. But I'm not sure I have the necessary discipline.
Thanks--
Lisa J.
I would love to win this book so I could be JUST LIKE THE CUPCAKE QUEEN !!!

ReplyDeleteThe thing is, you've turned me into a cupcake junky. I'd love a copy of the book and hope that I win and all...but, more importantly, I just wanted to tell you that you've turned me into a cupcake junky.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

I love your site and am always eagerly waiting the next cupcake. Please sign me up for the cupcake book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I'm about to post about some cupcake mediocrity I produced last night. Maybe you can weigh in with tips?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Count me in.....Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteOoh! Me please!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays
I tried to comment and enter this contest yesterday, but it seems never to have been posted. Anyway, great blog--I love checking in weekly to see what you've picked. I'd love to have the discipline to try thi smyself, maybe with cookies or cakes. But we'll see. I hope you'll consider continuing even after the 52nd week!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, since I am an Orthodox Jew, if I should happen to win, I won't be able to respond to you at all on the Sabbath, which goes from sundown Friday night and ends at sundown Saturday night. I hope you'll extend the time I'll be able to contact you.
Thanks-
Lisa Joffe
Ooops--I just noticed that my comment from yesterday was posted, though I only signed it as Lisa J. I'm the same person, so the request about Sabbath applies.
ReplyDeleteThanks--
Lisa Joffe
I want to win... yay
