Video Game Cupcakes from Cutsie Cakes in Layton
I love these fun and colorful video game-themed cupcakes by Cutsie Cakes in Layton. I wish I could say I recognize all the characters but I don’t. Anyone want to help identify?
Right now Cutsie Cakes is holding a flavor contest for all their customers…and anyone else really. All you have to do is come up with a great flavor combination! Here are the rules they posted on their blog:
Choose a cupcake flavor or flavor combination that is unique and original.
Think outside the box. Use your imaginations!
Think about future holidays or seasons that we could spotlight the flavor.
If there is a meaning behind your entry, share it!
Think of a design to the cupcake and when submitting your flavor, tell us for “extra points”.
Submit your entries by leaving a comment here, a comment on FB or email us at: info@cutsiecakes.com
Contest ends Saturday, March 20 @ 6 p.m.
The winner will receive not only one free dozen but something much more! So get excited and don’t be shy! Life is better with cupcakes and lots of different flavors of cupcakes!
