Karin Slaughter's Cupcake Contest


A few weeks ago my mom and I had the pleasure of meeting Karin Slaughter, crime writer and author of the recently released book Undone, at the Random House Book Fair. We got to spend some time with her, hear her amusing stories, and laugh often. After trading books with us she came up with the idea of having a cupcake contest for her fans. I loved the idea, so, hoping to inspire others, I came up with 5 new cupcake designs. The directions for each design will be posted in Step-By-Step on the whimsical bakehouse decorate page by the end of the week.

Betty Crocker, Take 3


I just got back from Minneapolis, home to General Mills and Betty Crocker, where we filmed the latest installments of Betty's How-To videos - 8 videos in all, including some cute and simple cupcakes like the one above. They should be posted in about a month. I'll let you know...

More Great Cakes from YOU!
