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!” 🙂

I have Stage III Breast Cancer and am currently receiving Chemo/Herceptin. This has changed my family’s life totally, we have always spent time together and now it just added more time and more faith in ‘GOD’. Positive attitudes and prayers goes a long way. It has been a little difficult trying to get our son to understand what I have as he is Autistic but maybe it is a good thing and he doesn’t have to deal with knowing what could happen but I know it won’t. I am a coach for the local Special Olympics here in my county and I can’t let them down!
I am subscribed to the cupcake chronicles.
What makes me feel special? My 7 year old daughter’s tenderness and empathy for me, her kisses, her daddy who loves me without reservation, my family and friends who are there when I need them, no questions asked. What I do to make myself feel special? When I can capture a priceless $moment with my camera and share that personal moment with the family of my subject.
Breast cancer has affected my life and those that love me. I celebrated my 5 year anniversary of being a breast cancer survivor on the 12th of this month. The month of pink.
In my free time I either read or play on my laptop.
I feel special when my husband gives me flowers or a surprise of some kind for no reason.
No one in my family has been lost from Breast cancer but a friend passed away 7 years ago from breast cancer. And another one has it now. I support breast cancer awareness as often as I can.
My mom had breast cancer when I was pregnant with my first son! She is a fighter-now 11 yrs later she is cancer free and enjoying my 2 boys-and her other 7 grandchildren!! Our free time is spent with my mom, and my nieces and nephews! I also enjoy entering sweepstakes. I also enjoy reading your website/blog and getting ideas for my boys and family! I love your cupcakes!! Thank you!!
I already subscribe to your newsletter.
I love to spend my free time reading, walking on the beach with my husband, or swimming.
My husband makes me feel special. He always tells me how beautiful I am, and will buy flowers just because he knows I love them.
My mother has had breast cancer twice.
I like to watch movies.
I feel very special when I leave the house and my kids keep telling me over and over that they love me and keep hugging and kissing me good bye. My children aren’t toddlers 😀 They’re 11, 13 and 15 and two of them are boys. I’m so glad they haven’t gotten too “cool” to do that.
