Well, ready or not, Krystina Castella...she's the author of Crazy About Cupcakes...has awesomely (is that a word?) offered The Cupcake Queen an autographed copy of her new book for this contest. You will simply love this cupcake cookbook! I know from my own experience that I do. The cupcakes I made last Sunday...the Madras...were based on Krystina's recipe for her Seabreeze cupcake. She truly inspires creativity!
Oh yeah... this is about the contest: To enter, all you have to do is make a comment to this post. That's it. Only one comment per person, please.
The contest begins on September 27th...YOU CAN ENTER RIGHT NOW... And, it will end at 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, October 4th, one week from today! I will put all the entries in a hat and pull out one winner...will you be the one? I hope so! I'll announce the winner Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. (EST) on this blog. Krystina will mail her book to the winner!
If you're leaving a comment as anonymous...please put in some sort of identifying name in your comment...otherwise, we won't be able to tell one anonymous cupcake lover from another!
So, what are you waiting for? Let's hear from you!

ReplyDeleteFun! Fun! Fun! By the way - LOVE anthropologie and will look out for those umbrella-swizzler-things next time I'm there. Thanks, CQ.
ReplyDeleteI'm game!
ReplyDeleteI'm in heaven. I've been a cupcake lover for decades!
ReplyDeleteI made cupcakes that looked like little mousy faces for my son's kindergarten class back in the 80's! My daughter is coming home from college Sat. and she is craving CUPCAKES! Wheeeeee!
Hi,
ReplyDeletePlease enter me! Did you see that Google's home page has a cupcake and lit candles in place of the first "o" in Google. Guess they are celebrating a birthday, cupake style!
cupcakes = heaven
ReplyDeleteI just made vanilla ones swirled with chocolate. Not super exciting, but I had all the things for it in my kitchen. I needed an excuse to try out my silicone muffin tins. I must say they are the awesome. Super even cooking and the cupcakes came right out.
If the contest is open to Aussies, I'm putting my hand up with glee! I just got a chilli red mixmaster...I'm ready to cook up a storm :)
ReplyDeletei'm from Singapore n have just tried to search for this book at major bookstores here. Its NOT availabe. The injustice of it all. If i get the book, i'll ensure tat the word cupcake will never be taken in vain again. Pretty please?

How delightful! A book of nothing but page after page of cupcakes. Makes me hungry just thinking about it! (Ashley from LA)
ReplyDeleteI love your site. You inspire me to bake more cupcakes! (Erin from VA)
ReplyDeleteHi: Everytime I make cupcakes or muffins, they never get the nice dome ontop but instead spread out all over the place. Is there anything I can do differently to maybe get the nice curve on top? Thanks, Amber
ReplyDeleteamberidunno@yahoo.com
love love love the pics on your site - yummy ! javapea@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy two cents?
ReplyDeleteI could badly use a book like this. I'm tired of scrambling into and out of Borders with my laptop trying to copy down recipes out of it without the clerks noticing and telling me to quit it. :p
I hear there are Tiki cupcakes, I must win this book! Gimme, gimme!
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Krystina and almost as good as the friendship was being able to be one of her many "test subjects". I'm kind of hoping her next COOKING book (she along with her husband is also author of a beautiful coffee table book that documents the alphabet in nature) is about filet mignon or something. :) Then maybe how about an exercise book?
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow for dinner Krystina!
"Test Subject Bob"
Sweet Tart cupcakes are the best!
I love cupcakes. I was going to say, I love Krystina's cupcakes, but that sounds a little too familiar...
