The latest cupcake high heels

These glam, fun, star-adorned cupcake high heels are by Cupcakes by M.E. in Central Pennsylvania, via their Facebook page, the latest addition to the high heel cupcake craze started by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson in their cookbook Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh My! That reminds me that I never blogged about the fun class I took with them in which we learned exactly how to make our own; I'll post that this week! I'll never get over how glamorous a cookie heel can be. Find out more about Cupcakes by M.E. at cupcakesbyme.com and contact them at cupcakesbyme at gmail.com or 717-421-8974.

The Winner of Our Duncan Hines Giveaway Reports!

 Enola, Pennsylvania-area reader, baker and cupcake enthusiast -- and winner of our Duncan Hines Frosting Creations giveaway, Katie Eisenhour reports back with snapshots of her prize.

"I got my package! I attached some pictures for you of everything that was included in case if you wanted to put it up on your site. I also wanted to share the GREAT news that as I was shopping yesterday, I finally saw that my Walmart has the starters and packets for sale along with a coupon to get a packet for free when you buy the starter. They also had little inspiration booklets available too! I'll definitely be taking advantage of all the coupons I printed for those a few weeks back. I'm so excited to get experimenting in the kitchen with all the flavors. I'm sure my church will love all of the creations I can come up with! I'll probably be posting online on pinterest what I come up with!"

Flavor packets!

 Frosting starters.

Thanks, Katie, glad you are enjoying the spoils!
