We've got a new contest for you, this time for a $50 gift certificate from 1-800-FLOWERS, which now sells cupcakes made by Cheryl & Co. as well as actual flower-shaped cupcakes. International entries welcome, but cupcakes don't ship internationally, only flowers.
This time, the way to enter is by linking to this post from your social networking account (MySpace, Facebook, etc.) or your blog or website. For each link, you get one entry, so if you link from your blog, Facebook, and Twitter, for example, that's 3 entries. The catch is you have to email us at cupcakestakethecake at yahoo.com with the entry URLs and "Flowers Contest" in subject line. Deadline: Wednesday, October 29, 11:59 pm. If you don't have a blog or social networking site, start one! Twitter is very easy. And we will have more contests soon with commenting to enter, we're just trying something new since this is an Internet-based prize.

Making a super-sized cupcake is very easy! Obviously it will take quite a few chrysanthemums (’Football’ mums), but it is a statement piece that will last for at least a week or maybe even two! The super-sized cupcake shown below was made in a 15” x 8” container and used about 50 mums. The same technique would be used regardless of the size of the container.
