Cupcake 205... The Great Cake Off Photo Inspiration

Good morning! It's all to play for this week, because it's Cupcake's fourth birthday...

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

Firstly, we must give a massive big thank you to everyone that makes Cupcake happen, week on week; Sponsors, Cupcakes, Guest Cupcakes, and all the people that join the fun. :)

A big shout out also, to everyone that played with our Bunting Challenge last week, we loved seeing your fantabulous creations.

Before we tell you about this week's Challenge, there's something else a little bit special going down. Because Cupcake wouldn't be the fun it is without you, we wanted to make this week, about you...

So, The Cupcakes have taken the week off, and we've invited nine Birthday Guest Cupcakes to join us, laydees that have caught our eye, because they play so often. Please give a warm, cakey type welcome to Birgit, Catherine, Catherine, Cathy, Janet, Kelly, Liz, Marion and Wedgie.

The Cupcakes didn't manage to get completely out of The Factory though. Stop by tomorrow, as we'll be having a Guess the Cupcake Competition.

Now, this week's Challenge:

... The Great Cake Off Photo Inspiration ...

Simples really, just use this photo as your inspiration...

You have until 8pm, GMT on Sunday 19 August to place your entry for this Challenge. Enjoy!
