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!” 🙂

Being with my family always makes me feel special.
While breast cancer hasn’t impacted my friends or family, many other diseases have. I support any efforts to promote awareness and help eradicate a disease that takes the lives of so many each year.
A childhood neighbor of mine was diagnosed several years ago. It does touch everyone, one way or another.
Right now I am a mother of three with a newborn; I love to spend my free time talking with my husband or sleeping!
Simple acts of kindness and affection from my family, especially my husband make me feel special.
I subscribe via email.
Breast cancer has not affected me directly but both my parents have suffered from cancer, I’ll support any movement to improve the lives of the who suffer from such life crushing disease.
Spending time with my daughter makes me feel special 🙂

Free time? Hahaha! That would probably be my gardening time (summer) or quilting (the rest of the year) and I manage to squeeze in some computer time also. Going for walks with my above mentioned grandson and his sister would rate right up there but that’s part of my nanny-days. It’s so fun to see things through the eyes of a preschooler.
I feel very special when my youngest grandson says, “Grammie, I missed you!”
Breast cancer appears on both sides of my family and I’m a 17 1/2 year survivor. YEA!! So it has affected me very personally.
