Challenge Competition!

Morning! Again. It's all going on over at The Cupcake Factory at the moment!

We had such a good response to our last competition to let you pick a theme, that we've decided to take a week off and do it all again. :)

Yep, if you'd like a chance to Guest Design for us on the week that your Challenge goes live on 09 May, and pick your own Top 5, then leave your idea in a comment on this post.

We'll close this competition at 8pm (GMT)Friday 15 April.

Get your thinking caps on Cupcake Lovers!

Cupcake 137... Doctors and Nurses

Morning! Time for another Cupcake! :) Wow, what a cracking weekend of weather we had, I hope it's just a taste of what's to come, rather than that being it! Fingers crossed hey?!

Our Choose the Challenge Competition has had a really good response so far. If you'd like the chance to pick a theme at Cupcake, Guest Design for that week and pick your very own Top 5, you still have time to enter, you're not even limited to one entry. Mr Random will be doing all the hard work on Friday afternoon, so get thinking...

The Cupcake Factory was filled with sounds of giggling last week, in fact, some of The Cupcakes said their sides were aching. Between you and me, I think it's just an excuse to get some time off, I think they were all sitting outside drinking Pimms when they should've been in The Factory! ;) Thanks, as always, for playing along.

Well, let's get things moving shall we? This week, it's my turn to pick a Challenge:

***Doctors and Nurses***

Isn't it nice to receive a little something handmade when we're feeling a little under the weather? So, we'd like to see your Get Well Projects... Simples!

You have until 8pm, GMT on Sunday 17 April to place your entry for this challenge. Have fun!

Introducing our New Cupcakes

Evening All.

No, you're not going mad and have not lost several days in the blink of an eye! It's not Monday morning.

I just wanted to thank everyone that took the time to enter our recent DT Call. I was completely surprised by the level of interest we had, but not by the quality of your work. Wow! It made our decision process incredibly difficult, which is why it took us so long.

I am pleased to tell you that we got there and I would like to introduce you to our newest Cupcakes. I hope you will stop by and say hi to them all.

Louise, Poppit, Rachel and Sari will be joining us at the beginning of May. There is a lot going on at The Cupcake Factory at the moment and I don't want to scare them already!

We will be running another Choose the Challenge Competition this week, so stop by tomorrow for the details and your chance to enter. Otherwise, have a fab week and see you on Monday, if not before...! ;)

Cupcake 136... Comedy Rocks

Morning! Well I hope all you Mummy's out there were treated yesterday? You so deserve it. Maybe there were some naughty little crafty presents? Oooh, actually I didn't think of that. That's a brilliant idea for getting some stash through baggage control...

Thank you so much for playing with our Flowers for Mum challenge last week. Not surprisingly, it was a very popular theme! But we loved seeing all your gorgeous creations.

I know some of you will be waiting for news on our DT Call. At the time of writing this post, we're still voting. If you've not heard from me yet, I hope to give you news by the end of this week.

Don’t forget, if you were a Top 5 winner in March; watch your inbox over the next couple of weeks as you could be joining us as a Guest Cupcake in May…

This week, Our Lovely Donna has chosen the challenge:

***Comedy Rocks ***

We'd like you to help us spread the laughter. It's contagious you know! So, we want you to make us giggle with your humorous creations.
