Cupcake stickers!

Found these glittery cupcake stickers and cupcake gift tags at a card shop in Portland, Maine. I bought extras of the stickers for holiday cards, and will be giving a few away on December 5th at our 7th anniversary party in NYC.

Win one of three cupcake murder myseries at our 7th anniversary party December 5th

I've been trying to post this every day and every day Blogger gives me an error message so I will make this short and sweet: New York Times-bestselling cupcake murder mystery author Jenn McKinlay has donated signed copies of her first 3 mysteries, Sprinkle with Murder, Buttercream Bump Off and Death by the Dozen, to give away December 5th at our 7th anniversary party!

And the next two books are called Red Velvet Revenge (read Chapter 1 here) and Going, Going, Ganache (named by a reader). Love it! Sprinkle with Murder was also just published in Japan, cover below. Very cool! Thanks, Jenn, who I got to meet at Cupcake Love-In, for your generosity. More on her soon (Blogger permitting).
