A Makeover, New Cupcakes, Au Revoir, I spy and HCBH!!

Does that sound like some kind of reality TV Show?! Morning All. We've got it all going on here today; we're unleashing our fabby New Cupcakes, Louise, Poppit, Rachel and Sari, we have our usual weekly challenge AND we've a sneaky little Hello Cupcake Blog Hop. So get a cuppa (and a cupcake), get comfy and enjoy, this is one MONSTER post!

As you can see, we've given Cupcake a little makeover to coincide with our new Design Team line up. Thank you Jo, for doing such a fantastic job. (BTW, if you love these Cupcakes as much as we do, you can buy your own from Jo.) There are new badges for you to snag and to win, as we're ditching our Top 5 and replacing them with Cupcake Cuties.

But before I tell you about this weeks challenge, even though I know Catherine won't be happy with me, I can't let her leave us without taking this opportunity to thank her for everything she has done for Cupcake. Catherine, we will miss you and your wonderful creations.

So, let's get this show on the road! For this weeks challenge, we'd like to play a little game! I spy, with my little eye...

...Something Beginning with 'C'...

We'd like you to include something beginning with 'c' on your work; cupcakes, cherries, cars, circles, cerise, cyan, choklit, Christmas, clean and simple. You name it, so long as it begins with 'C', you can play it! Don't forget to tell us what your 'C' is in your post.

You have until 8pm GMT on Sunday 08 May to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun!
