Cook for the Cure: Pink Champagne Cupcakes and a KitchenAid Giveaway
Contest is closed – Congratulations to Diana!
I have been wanting to make these cupcakes for a while. I guess I was just waiting for just the right time. They are so cute, simple and incredibly feminine. Kinda the opposite of me, I’m more of a tomboy, but I really want to be all pink, and frilly like these cupcakes.
When I was contacted by Del Webb to participate in promoting the Cooks for the Cure events to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure ®, I knew I had to make those special pink champagne cupcakes. They are quick, easy, and just too cute. Del Webb is the nation’s leading active adult community builder.
