National Cupcake Day 2014

I try to help animals all year, not just with my online Hallowe'en Studio Tour.  So when an opportunity presents itself that combines my love for baking with helping animals, you betcha I'm in!

Monday will be the 2nd annual National Cupcake Day to support Humane Societies and SPCAs.  My local shelter is on the list so I inspired the folks at work to bake and to eat all the tasty treats to support the creatures in need. 

And it's not just cupcakes:  I baked apple-cinnamon-almond brioche, oatmeal-almond-berry muffins and lemon cheesecake squares so there were lots of choices while my co-workers made sure cupcakes were well represented.


We even have an online bakery, check it out! 


So celebrate National Cupcake Day and next year why don't you consider getting a team together and taking part in this excellent fundraising idea! 


Happy munching!

Eat shit! Please?

Ask a Hallowe'ener to make cupcakes and what do you get:  What Doggies Doo-Doo!

These cupcakes were created for the 2013 National Cupcake Day on February 25th to raise money for the SPCA.  They are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips and chocolate ganache centers, smothered under a cream cheese frosting of "grass" and topped each with a doggie doo-doo... because that's life!  Made with Camino fair trade cocoa powder, to make them even nicer!  I'm selling them at work for $2.00 a piece, all of which goes to the SPCA.

So, are they neat?  Gross?  I've entered them on the Facebook contest so please check out all the entries and vote for your favorite! (You can only vote once.) Can you spot mine?  I'm hoping they're the most original!!! Go to the contest, sort by recently added and please vote!
