Recently, I won the IronCupcake:Earth challenge, and one of the prizes was a copy of Hello, Cupcake! by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. Something interesting is that this is the 2nd copy of this book that Houghton Mifflin (the publisher) has sent to me for free (I reviewed it right before it came out)! Lol, so this time I'm giving it away! But don't think winning is going to be easy. Oh no no no, I have to make sure you're not gonna get it and then make a buck off of it on craigslist! I'm gonna make you WORK for it! Muahahaha... SO, here's how to enter:Submissions will be accepted until Saturday, August 8 (my birthday!). The winner will be chosen at random and will be notified by Wednesday, August 12. Everyone has a fair chance to win, so what are you waiting for? Get in the kitchen and get your cupcake on!1. Reproduce any one of the following cupcake designs from the book.
2. E-mail a picture of your cupcakes to howtoeatacupcake{at}yahoo{dot}com
3. If you have a blog, please post your cupcakes and link back to this entry. (Thanks!)
1. Leave a comment including your e-mail address.
2. Sorry, U.S. residents only. =(
HERE ARE THE DESIGNS TO CHOOSE FROM:
Pandamonium
Corn on the Cob
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Big Birthday Cake
What a Hoot!
(If you see any mistakes in the instructions, let me know. I scanned them really fast and barely looked over them. I'll double check them soon.)

I love the corn on the cob ones! I may attempt them this weekend - we're having my son's birthday party on Sunday.
I'll just have to keep him away from the Jelly Bellys!
Dang girl - you're gonna make up work for this one. I'm up for the challenge though.
US residents only :(
goodluck everyone
hmm... I think I'll be making the Amanda Pandas. :D
I love this book! I made the corn on the cobs for April Fool's Day last year and everyone loved them.
Hey...so I made the owl ones a while back and posted it to my blog. Can I enter that, or should I make them again? :D
I've seen this book and I WANT IT!!! These cupcakes are so cute. What a fun challenge
HAHA I actually just received my 3rd copy today! All were gifts from family members!
Oh, this is so fun! I'm excited to try it! Thanks!
Haha, I just wanna know how to make the puppy ones on the front cover!
Haha. I ended up with two copies too! I've thought about having some sort of contest as well but never have got around to it. This sounds like a challenging one though!
U.S resident only :(
I hate this part.
Whyyyyyyyyyyy do I live in France ??????? It's so unfair... I love the panda, corn and owlet ones !
Hey Cassie! I nominated your wonderful blog for the Kreativ Blogger Award! :)

meagan.roth@gmail.com
Busy is right - and maybe a bit lazy as well! I'm so happy to have found your site - there's nothing I like better then a good cupcake. My friends at work are aware of that - especially since I go on and on about your website! They had a surprise birthday party for me on Friday and gave me two dozen cupcakes to take home (o: A perfect gift, don't you think? Anyway, I would LOVE to win the book so I could make some cupcakes to take to them. Keep up the good work - you have the best site on the web!
Ok...I'll give it a shot at trying to win the book! Good Luck to all!

Haha -- that is so sad that there were only two entries! Well, I was not a US Resident, and am not really, BUT I am moving back to NYC in 13 days, so I guess I am eligible! What a cool moving-to-the-big-city present this would be!

its cold here in Berkeley, CA. Need to warm up in the kitchen! Kitchen gods! Let me win!
I was so going to make the corn cupcakes (I live on a farm, and am surrounded by corn), but we've been well over 100 degrees in the Pacific NW this week. But I definitely will make them when the weather cools a bit. Thanks for the contest, and have an incredible birthday!

I WAS going to make the owl cupcakes--though I had planned on it long before the contest, and it still hadn't happened yet, so even the contest probably wouldn't have motivated me...
Maybe getting a copy of the book will, though. :)
I LOVE making cupcakes! I've been wanting to try one of these for some time now, but it's been such a busy summer! btw, i love your site-- your recipes always look so good!

This is the summer of our "stacation." We've had them before, but there has never been an actual name for it before. I've been trying to jazz up this mundane event with a little baking. This book would help a lot! It would make our "stacay" something to really remember.

I have fallen in love with the corn on the cob cupcakes and the owls are adorable...perfect for my bird loving friends 30th b-day in Oct. So thank you for the inspiration and I will let you know how my first go at baking cupcakes go! Peace, Alene Hearing

I am super disappointed that you ended the contest the way it was ... although my husband surprised me with the book so I don't need it anymore ... but I am actually making the spaghetti and meatballs tonight for a co-workers birthday tomorrow! I love that book!!! And I can't wait to go home and prepare those cupcakes!

I haven't had the opportunity to try any of them yet (stupid day job) but I am going to make the Smores' this weekend. I will post a picture when they are finished and maybe post them on my blog (although it doesn't really fit my blog theme). Anyway, great job and thanks for all the great recipes. Cheers!
I love your blog! It inspires me to get off my butt and start making stuff ;-)
