Cupcake 124... Something New

Morning Cupcake Lovers! Have you all taken your Christmas decorations down? And does the space where they were look all bleak and drab? Not to worry, it’ll soon be Valentines Day! ;)

Wow! You loved La Chic’s White is White theme. Thank you so much for joining in, it was great to see all of your beautiful work. You made it very hard to pick a Top 5 again, you tinkers!

This week, Sassy Denise has chosen the theme:

***Something New ***

This could be a new job, new baby or new home project. Or maybe you got some scrummylicious new stash for Christmas which you’re itching to use and haven’t had a chance yet (be sure to tell us what it is though). Either way, we’d love to see what you come up with.

You have until Sunday 16 January… 8pm GMT to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun!

Cupcake 123... White is White!

Morning, morning, morning and Happy New Year to you all! We hope you had a wonderful festive break and you got lots of naughty stash…? So, are you sick of choklit yet? Have you broken any of your New Year Resolutions?! Are you desperate to get back to normality? Well, have a little play with us first, hey?! ;)

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our Thank You Challenge, you kept us busy with all your wonderful creations and it seemed a fitting end to the year. We hope you will continue to have fun with us throughout 2011.

Talking of continued fun, I am delighted to be able to tell you that Delphine has agreed to join the DT on a permanent basis. I can't wait to see what she gets up to!

As it’s the first challenge of the year, we thought we’d tell you about our Icing on the Cupcake! If you enter any challenge in a calendar month, you’ll have a chance of winning our weekly sponsored prize, as usual. The Icing on the Cupcake is that you will automatically get a chance to win our randomly drawn, sponsored prize at the end of the month too. :)

And don’t forget, if you were a Top 5 winner in December; watch your inbox over the next few weeks as you could be joining us as a Guest Cupcake in February…

Well, now I’ve told you about all that, let’s get on with it!

This week, our delicious French friend, Catherine La Chic, has chosen the challenge:

***White is White ***

You can use other colours if you wish, but your project must be predominantly white.

You have until Sunday 09 January… 8pm GMT to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun!

Cupcake 122... Thank You!

Morning Cupcake Lovers! Welcome to our last challenge this year! This is a two week challenge, as we thought you might need some time to play with all the naughty stash you’ve bought yourselves for Christmas! Oh. Is that just me?! ;) We will be back, raring to go on 03 January 2011.

Before I get onto the new challenge, get your party frocks and cocktails out folks, as I would like to say a few words! Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to join in with our challenges, we hope you have as much fun as we do. We really enjoy sharing your wonderful talent. Thanks also, to each and every one of our generous sponsors, your fabulous prizes are very much appreciated. And, of course, thanks to The Cupcakes. You are the icing on my, erm, Cupcake! I’d like to give Delphine a special mention; it has been an absolute joy to have you Guest Designing for us this month. Oh and thanks to everyone that ever… what? Enough?! Ok! Mwah, Mwah Darlings!

Have a totally scrummylicious Christmas and New Year from everyone at Cupcake!

Now, I really must tell you about Victoria’s challenge, or you’ll start pelting me with tomatoes!

***Thank You! ***

We figured you might be fed up of making Christmas projects by now, unless you’re me and still haven’t started (gulp) yet! If not, you’ll be needing some Thank You stash after you’ve finished Christmas, so we’re kind of helping you out here!

You have until Sunday 02 January 2011 (!)… 8pm GMT to place your entry for this challenge.

Cupcake 121... Non-Traditional Christmas

Morning Cupcake Lovers! Apparently it’s December. Why didn’t anyone tell me?! As I haven’t started my Christmas cards yet, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s time to panic yet.

Did Minxie’s Little Red Robin Challenge have you singing ‘He rocks in the tree tops all day long, hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song. All the little birdies on Jaybird Street, love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet. Rockin' robin, rock, rock. Rockin' robin'? No?! Oh. Well, I expect you’ll be singing it all week now! ;)

Thank you so much for joining us last week, your creations absolutely rocked! (Are you with Rockin Robin again now?!) We hope you have as much fun this week…

Gorgeous Liza has chosen our theme:

***Non-traditional Christmas! ***

Be it colours, image, or something my fluffy little brain hasn’t even thought of, whatever floats your boat… let’s see it!

You have until Sunday 19 December… 8pm GMT to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun and if a little snifter of mulled wine helps you on the way, so be it.
