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 stepmother, step-grandmother, and grandmother all had breast cancer.
What makes this 44 y/o breast cancer survivor feel special? Hugs, my family, my friends, sweatpants, cake, and LIFE!
Four years ago, at age 40, and at my first mammo, I received the “gift” of breast cancer. It changed everything about me. Not a day, not an hour, goes by that I don’t think of The Big C. I’ll never be the same, but in a weird way, that’s okay. Breast cancer made me who I am today, and the person I am today is much more tolerant, kinder person.
I have 2 cousins that had breast cancer and a very good friend. Also, a good friend’s sister and my good friend’s mom. So many women and men affected by this terrible disease.
In my spare time, I like to scrapbook, quilt, bake, garden, craft and home decor projects…….
I spend my free time crafting or baking or snuggling with my kids! [email protected]
My children make me special. They are the best things that have happened to me! [email protected]
My children’s grandmother died of breast cancer. We support the cause every chance we get. (I even walked in the AVON 3 day!) It was amazing! [email protected]

I like to spend my “free” time with my family and friends. If I’m not able to spend it with them, I’m probably at home with my cat, on the computer catching up w/ the blogs like Hoosier Homemade! 🙂
My family, my friends, my cat, and God makes me feel special. My family makes me feel loved every chance they get. I only have a few true an close friends. I cherish the time we spend together. My cat depends on me and likes to cuddle too. When I’m down she has a way to make me feel all warm and fuzzy. Knowing that God loves me and on my side no matter what…that alone is special. With all of those 4 things, what more can one ask for?
Growing up I was very close to my grandparents. My grandmother was the first person that I ever knew who had breast cancer. I was 9 when she died and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Over the years, cancer of many kinds has struck my family. Several years ago my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been healed and is now a survivor thanks to many prayers and new strides in medicine. Thanking God that we’ve come a long way since when my grandmother was diagnosed in the early 80’s.
My mother passed away when I was 4 (I am now 42) and I miss her every day.
I love making cupcakes in my free time!
