Baketastic!

2010 is already here?  I’ve been so busy with my full-time job that I have had absolutely ZERO time to bake.

I did manage to make an order for a baby shower, but that was it for the last few months of December.

I promise more goodies this year and more delicious posts.

Please keep coming back to check out my blog!!

Be Sweet,

Heather

I am very excited to announce that Baketastic! is now a proud sponsor of  Twestival Houston’s Houston Twestival 2009, supporting the Houston Area Women’s Center.  The HAWC is a not-for-profit program dedicated to helping survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, which offers shelter to those in need as well as numerous support groups.  Every dollar raised through Twestival Houston will support HAWC’s Children’s Court Services program, the advocacy service for children who have been victims of or witnesses to violent crimes.  BUT THEY CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT OUR HELP!  SO…

Baketastic is proud to announce its new flavors:

HOLY SCHNIKES!! I use Twitter quite often, don’t I? But you don’t mind, do you? Well, it seems that little ole’ me has some celebratin’ to do! I joined Twitter in early ‘08. Since having joined, Baketastic has almost 1000 followers! I can’t believe so many people want to read what I have to say and see my baking photos! I’ve made some terrific connections for work, found some great clients and networked with about a bazillion bakers, some of whom I get to chit chat with on a regular basis, sharing ideas and baking secrets, too cool. Not to mention the personal friends I’ve started to make – I like Canada and Australia even more now! (wink wink K and A)

I’ve decided that in honor of this obviously auspicious occasion, I am going to do something special. That’s right, Blogland, I’m going to give away some crap.

Like Navin Johnson says, “Take a chance and win some crap!” (If you don’t know who Navin Johnson is, you should Google him, right now, you won’t be sorry you did) Okay, I’m not really going to give away a bunch of crap, but I am going to make a handy dandy cupcake baking kit.

The cupcake baking kit will include: gel frosting dye, decorative cupcake liners, my favorite size piping tip, some fondant – pre colored to match theme, some other surprise goodies and the recipe for one of my cupcakes on a cutsie Baketastic recipe card. You will have all you need to make these cupcakes save for the ingredients! (I hear eggs and milk don’t mail well, who knew?)

To enter, please leave a comment and tell me what your favorite cupcake is. For an additional entry, re-tweet the tweet about this giveaway but make sure to come back and comment that you did with a link to the tweet!

All entries must be received by Tuesday, July 29, 2009.

The Winner will be chosen using www.random.org. The Prize will be awarded on Thursday, July 30 and shipped by Friday July 31, 2009.

Good luck! (and thanks for following me, duh!)
