Breast Cancer Awareness Cupcakes & Hanes Giveaway
GIVEAWAY CLOSED…THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED
Breast Cancer touches lives everyday, every minute…finding a cure is vital.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure has played a major role in the fight against Breast Cancer. To see all the great work they do or for more information, please visit their website, they have a wealth of information!
During my recent visit to New York City for The Family Dish, I was sitting next to Liz, one of awesome gals at Weber Shandwick, and she mentioned how Hanes has joined the fight against Breast Cancer and donated $500,000. They have a fun new feature, where you can design and buy your own T-shirt and they will donate 10% of the proceeds to Komen for the Cure!!
Right away, I told her that I would love to create some Breast Cancer Awareness Cupcakes to share with you all! And she graciously offered some Hane’s goodies for a Giveaway!
First…let’s talk Cupcakes…PINK Cupcakes!!
For these very special Breast Cancer Awareness Cupcakes, I started with a strawberry cake mix, baked in cute pink polka-dot liners and frosted with Buttercream Frosting.
On top, I added some pink cookie wafer, pink sugar, pink non-pareils and some fun marshmallows.
It seems like Mini is ALL the rage now in Cupcakes…and even fun Cupcake Skewers! I just couldn’t help myself, and created these for you!!
Cuteness!!!
To create the Mini-Cupcakes, I took a regular size cupcake, after it cooled and used a round cookie cutter, the inside part of a round cutter that has the removeable cutter for doughnuts. You could also bake mini cupcakes and remove the wrapper, or bake them without a liner.
Remember the Chocolate Covered Strawberry S’Mores with strawberry marshmallows? I used some of those marshmallows, dipped them in Wilton white candy melts and then added non-pareils on some and pink sugar on others.
Taking a lollipop stick, I just skewered the marshmallows and mini cupcakes. Then with a decorator bag filled with Buttercream frosting and fitted with a round tip, I added a little frosting and a few non-pariels.
My oldest son, who is 19, told me they look “magical!” 🙂

My husband makes me feel special all the time
I love spending my free time playing with my family–not all the run, run, everyday life stuff; but just going outside and playing and laughing and having a fun time.
I had a breast surgery couple of years ago. I have to go to doctor once every year. Breast Cancer has effected my life.
Kind of ironic how breast cancer entered my life. My mother just found a lump on her breast a couple of weeks ago and had it removed just this Tuesday. We’re still waiting on the results of whether it’s cancerous or not.
Free Time? Reading blogs!
When my husband gives me a massage for no reason, just because he loves me. That makes me feel special.
My mother in law is a breast cancer survivor. Her sister and mother are too.
cancer affects the whole family
Carole
have relatives that have gone thru chemo

i feel special when my teenage boys hug me in front of their friends.
one of my good friends fought breast cancer for 5 years before it got her. She taught us all how to be brave.
If I get some free time I like to keep up with
the blogs I read!! And I just discovered Zumba
classes!!
Spending time with my husband and two little
boys makes me feel special. Also if a special
occasion arises I love getting pampered manicure,
pedicures, and make up done always makes
me feel special!
Neither I nor any immediate family members
have been affected with breast cancer, but
a friend’s mom had a battle with it. I try to
walk in a breast cancer walk every mother’s day.
I like to spend my free time with my family or a good book.
