GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Congratulations to…
88 – Tiffani 
11 – Brandy
13 – The Allen Family

Emails have been sent to the lucky winners!

***

Y’all probably know the heart I have for sharing time with my kiddos in the kitchen. So when I had the opportunity recently to get a first look at the brand-new E-Book Cupcakes! 12 Months of Happiness by Liz Latham, I was absolutely delighted! 

Many of you might be familiar with Liz, the creative and culinary talent behind Hoosier Homemade. Liz’s newsletter, the Cupcake Chronicles, is always brimming with fantastic ideas for making cupcakes that will delight and impress. In Cupcakes! 12 Months of Happiness, Liz shares 12 cupcake ideas that utilize supplies you can easily find in your grocery store aisles, and each cupcake design is do-able for even the smallest of helpers. And (most importantly) the ideas are downright adorable, with a seasonal cupcake design for each and every month of the year!

A peek at the table of contents:

January – Snowman Family
February – Valentine’s Day
March – Shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day
April – Bunny for Easter or Spring
May – Flowers for Mother’s Day
June – Shirts for Father’s Day
July – Uncle Sam
August – Snow Cones
September – Fall Leaves and Acorns
October – Jack O’ Lanterns and Ghosts for Halloween
November – Pilgrims and Indians for Thanksgiving
December – Reindeer and Santa for Christmas

In addition to the 12 cupcake ideas, Liz also includes some very helpful tips and tricks for cupcake baking and decorating at the end of the book. This really is a terrific resource! And at just $4.99, the book is a terrific value for experienced and beginning bakers alike. I know I will be putting many of these ideas to good use as I bake goodies with my children throughout the rest of the year!

Giveaway Details:
THREE lucky PS readers will receive their very own copy of Cupcakes! 12 Months of Happiness!

Mandatory Entry:
What is your favorite cupcake flavor? Leave a comment letting me know!

Optional Entries (leave a comment for each one completed):

Giveaway will end at 11:59 p.m. CST on February 23, 2012. Winner will be selected at random on or after February 24, 2012 and notified via email and announced in this post. In order to maximize your chances to win, you must leave a separate comment for each entry. If your email address is not linked to your Google account, please leave your email address in your comment so I can contact you in case you win.
