Cupcakes are a sweet treat anytime, but they taste even sweeter when they support animals in need.
So that's why we are participating in National Cupcake Day for SPCAs & Humane Societies. This second annual event will help raise awareness and urgently-needed funds to support animals that are abused, abandoned, neglected or no longer wanted.
Our team will be baking, buying, Instagraming and eating cupcakes! Please consider donating to join our Online Cupcake Day Party or register HERE to host your own cupcake sharing event on Monday, February 24.
To help you make the BEST cupcakes, we are giving away this $250 basket filled with all the tools you will need to start baking. To enter the contest, comment below and tell us what your favourite cupcake is. Please include your Twitter or email so we can contact the winner. Contest closes February 16 at 11pm EST.
We would love to see photos of your cupcakes so share them with us on Twitter @hipurbangirl and @cupcakedayca.
Also check out the Recipe For Success Guide that includes tips on how to fundraise, where the money goes to, a pancake recipe for your four-legged friend and recipes for vanilla and red velvet vegan cupcakes!

My favourite cupcakes are an adaptation of a recipe that I found a few years ago in an LCBO booklet - the recipe itself was horribly written - it didn't give a yield, baking temperature, or approx. baking time, so I improvised and they were delicious! It's a mini chocolate cupcake that was supposed to have a Bailey's Mint frosting (another thing I skipped). My twitter handle is @1byspike

ReplyDeleteI think the best cupcake I've ever had was a mint chocolate cupcake with a piece of Aero mint chocolate on it! A friend's mum owns a bakery and holy smokes are those cupcakes unreal!
My favourite type of cupcake, which I would attempt to make if I won this lovely prize, is the a Dulche De Leche filled cupcakes that my mom made for my university graduation party. They were vanilla cupcakes with a dulce de leche filling, decorated with vanilla icing and sprinkled with tiny gold stars :)
