Better than those cupcake shops in Hoboken

WHAT?! Last weekend I did kupkakes for an engagement party. The couple & alot of their friends live in Hoboken where there are ALOT of bakeries & cupcake shops.  The mother of the bride told me the wedding couple & their friends thought the kupkakes made by Kupkakes by Kimmie were better, they loved them & they were the hit of the party! WHOO HOO!!! Are you kidding me? WOW I was so excited to hear this I was jumping up & down!  Even though I was so excited I think alot has to do freshness, I make my kupkakes the day of the event or bake the kupkake the day before at the earliest for huge orders.  Everyone should know very few bakeries bake their cakes the day of the event most are frozen so maybe that had something to do with why they thought mine tasted better. But whatever the reason I was elated, & now they can't wait to have kupkakes for the shower! WHOO HOO again :)

Foodnetwork Magazine Halloween Cupcake Contest

Well I've entered another contest!  FoodNetwork Magazine which is very exciting although the chances of winning something so huge is slim to none!  I imagine there will be 1000's of entries.  My witchiepoo is made completely out of fondant & the stars on her hat & cape are edible glitter.  There is a toothpick down through her head to stabilize but other than that it is completely edible :)  Witchie poo is sitting on a Red Velvet Cupcake with Orange(colored not flavored) buttercream icing.  I had meant to use a Halloween cupcake liner but I forgot so I just sat the baked cupcake in a Halloween liner....how I could have forgot that is beyond me!  I guess I was too worried about taking the photos because all you had to do was upload a photo of your cupcake!  I wish there was more to it like sending along your recipe or something! I believe the entries have to be in by November 10th or sometime in November...so I will keep everyone updated if I hear anything.  Oh by the way the prize is $500. to spend at The FoodNetwork Store & the cover of the magazine(I imagine for next years October edition)  I was excited about the possibility of buying a pot & pan set & my daughter said, " MA it's the COVER for Pete Sakes!!!!!"
