Happy National Cupcake Day **GIVEAWAY** (Time’s up!)
August 18, 2009 at 1:46 AM | In cupcakes | 129 Comments… or is it?
I’ve heard rumors in the cupcake world that August 18th is National Cupcake Day but I’m a little confused. (But that’s nothing new, eh? HA!) I can’t seem to find a positive ID on National Cupcake Day except on my favorite food holidays website: American Food Holidays. According to them National Cupcake Day is December 15th and August 18th is National Soft Ice Cream Day.
Say wha? *scratching head*
But just in case it really *IS* National Cupcake Day, I figured I’d do good by the cupcake gods by having a little ‘ol giveway!
If you’re like me, you LOVE giveaways, no?
I’m a little (ok. A LOT) crazy about entering them. But I’m also kinda lazy and the giveaways that make me do more than comment I gotta be honest… I don’t enter. Sometimes I’ll tweet for an extra entry but that’s about it. Gotta keep it simple for me to enter. That’s my philosophy.
So let’s practice what I preach.
Take a looksies at what I have for you! You’re gonna go nuts!
Cupcake cookies and a cupcake apron! (You notice my theme here?)
*Readers’ eyes bulge*
I told you so.
You know what the best thing about blogging is? Well let me tell ya! It’s meeting so many INSPIRING CREATIVE AMAZING people… like Susan of She’s Becoming DoughMessTic who is sponsoring this delicious giveaway.
Her twitter-famous cookies are just FRIGGIN’ adorable. I am SERIOUSLY jealous of her royal piping skills. But obviously creative talent runs in her family. Her mom is “sew” handy with a thread and needle. (Sorry! I couldn’t help it!) Isn’t that cupcake apron adorable? I have one just like it and I’m not lying when I tell you that a cute cupcake apron makes baking EVER better!
You can find more samples of Mama Doughmesstic’s aprons on Susan’s blog. I heart the black and green one. Am I the only one that thinks these are Etsy store worthy? Feel free to email Susan for any aprons you see on her blog or custom orders too! Tell her Clara sent ya!
Yes, CB but how do I enter?
Pushy. Pushy. Here’s the fine print. :P
Rules:
(1) Only those who live within the US eligible to win prizes. (Sorry my international peeps!)
(2) Please make sure you have a valid email address so I can contact you if you win.To enter leave a comment:
What is your favorite food holiday? Click here for a complete list.Want an extra entry?
- Twitter (@ihcuppycakes) about my giveaway and leave me a separate comment with the link. Click “x time ago” under your tweet for the direct link. (+1 entry)
- Bake any IHC recipe and leave me a separate comment with the blog post link. Past recipes work too! (+1 entry)Deadline: Friday, August 21st @ 11:59pm EST

But honestly if no one wants the cookies, it’s ok. I don’t mind taking care of them. *wink*
Get in ma bellyyyyyyy! Nom nom nom…

Okay, I’m torn between two lovers. It’s National Cupcake Day and National Pie Day. I just love pie, but I just love cupcakes too! What’s a woman to do?

Thanks for the giveaway! If today is in fact National Cupcake Day, then TODAY is my favorite!!! Who doesn’t love a good cupcake?! In fact, I want to go in the kitchen right now and make some! Too bad I’m still eating a batch from 2 days ago! :)

I guess that I would have to say Thanksgiving. It’s always been a family thing and there’s nothing like great food and family. :)
Christmas is a close second though with the fudge, Christmas cookies and hot chocolate goodness that it tends to bring along. :D

Why is National Rum Punch day the day *after* Talk Like a Pirate Day? That seems like two good things that would be good together! As for favorites, I’m going to go with October being both caramel and dessert month! What a great month!

Cupcake day is always a joy to celebrate (and seems to happen at least once a week around here..) But as far as food goes, March 17, Corned Beef and Cabbage day gets my vote!

the better question would be, which day is not my favorite. Okay, so I think my faves are Toasted Marshmallow day, Fluffernutter day, the whole Caramel month, and of course the caramel day, Smores day, of course the Cupcake day, and in line with all of that, the International No Diet Day.

Lol. I loveee cupcakes (I’m reading this site :D ) but I have to say April 12, which is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. I think the grilled cheese sandwich was the first “recipe” I learned and made, and still reminds me of being a little kid.

I think my favorite and one that should be published is National Bake Week!! There are too many people in this world who are scared to bake and really need to get in there and do it. There’s nothing better than succeeding at that one recipe you just can’t master – darn you Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting!
