This month it will be two years since I had my first paying customer. A command to a Halloween party for children. I made these cupcakes spider scary ':
When the client told me that the French hosts are not sure what to make of these cupcakes, I was disappointed. The children were afraid to eat them, the mothers were skeptical about this food resembling spiders. But, she added, American mothers were not asked to make and eat the same for their children.
And so began my life as a humble designer cupcakes in Paris.
I keep the € 20 note with which I was paid and which marks an important turning point in my life. And to celebrate my 2 years of activity, I want to do something for all those who made this history possible.
Offered several gifts for the start of my 3rd year of 'business'.
The first gift came from "
Sassy Apron " in Arizona. These aprons are unlike anything that could bring your mom!
Sassy Apron I discovered last summer when I was in search of ideas for how to dress my sales staff at Printemps Nation. Lana, the owner and seamstress is incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with!
Not only her aprons 'Sassy' Are Fine, again, they are handmade with the utmost attention to detail. I love his creations.
I do not even have to cook my apron and you should not either.
This half apron 'Sassy' 100% cotton will be offered a (e) happy (to) win (e). The print, small cupcakes adorable, just the collection of Robert's Confections Kaufman, Michael Miller finishing Clover Point in lime.
The second gift comes from a girl who, like me, something with the cupcakes!
Gaëlle of "My Plague
Adored" makes the most adorable jewelry shaped mini food I've never seen, including these earrings Cupcakes.
Jewelry Gaëlle are all handmade and therefore unique. A (e) happy (is) winner (s) may choose
a pair of earrings Cupcakes of "My Plague Adored", based in France.
I met Ludivine, who directs "Made in
Cupcake" with her husband Paul, during last summer's Camp Cupcake. On his website you will find many recipes for cupcakes, advice, news and lots of other little goodies. And, and it is fantastic news for cupcakers,
online store Made in Cupcake just opened.
The shop offers a selective range of high quality products in a style 'retro'.
I found these little cupcake-kits in New York two years ago. I am delighted to see them now on this side of the ocean! 1 winner will receive a cupcake
-kit in the theme of his choice to make on "Made in Cupcake." They are all adorable: I take one of each please!
best for last: this contest would not be complete without cupcakes. True and authentic cupcakes U.S., to be exact.
I offer a dozen cupcakes to the topic of your choice to 1 winner. Just tell me about 1 week in advance. You will receive the cupcakes made the day of your order.
Top 3 prizes will be shipped to winners. For Sugar Daze-cupcakes, sorry, they will take in the 17th in Paris.
Well then, what should I do to win? Leave me a comment below to tell me what is the best cupcake you've ever eaten and why he was so good. Remember to specify what price you would like to win
The contest is open until October 31, 2010. I will choose 4 winners by lottery. I will announce results on Nov. 4. For an additional entry 'tweet' about the competition by including a link to this post and my name on Twitter (@ sugar_daze) Also leave a comment with a separate link to the tweet on this post.
Good luck to you all with all my thanks for 2 years of cupcakes
