Miss Melicious Cupcakes Book Giveaway

Last week I was treated to an awesome night of cupcakes, slushies and entertainment. With a red carpet, burlesque dancers and balloon artists this book launch could only be for something as quirky and and fun loving as the Miss Melicious Cupcakes cookbook. As I've mentioned in my review of Miss Melicious cupcakes, Mr S and Missy go way back, small world huh?! Well I've kept in contact with Missy as she's being venturing into this new realm of writing a cookbook and now the day has finally come when it has hit the print. I think I almost got a bit teary eyed when the speeches were happening, everyone said how proud they were of Missy, I'm proud too!

There were some special guests present too, including Colin Mathura-Jeffree who was totally sweet and couldn't have spoken any nicer about Missy and her cupcakes. Along with all the exciting entertainment was a very talented balloon artist who made me my very own cupcake bracelet! Too cute! As if dancers, balloons and great food weren't enough there was also a model painted Miss Melicious style walking around see if you can her, it was so well done it's hard to tell where the paint stops and skirt starts!

Mr S and I enjoyed the night as we drank slushies, downed cupcakes and flicked through THE cookbook to get a first look. I was overwhelmed by the amount of recipes Missy has managed to fit in her cute little book, over 40 recipes! With flavours like Pina Colada, French Toast, Creme Brulee and Bubblegum I actually cannot wait to get baking and try out all these crazy flavours, keep an eye out soon for a recipe post! It's not all cupcakes either, there are also recipes for cookies and whoopie pies! Are we spoilt or what?! If you can't wait to get your hands on a copy of Miss Melicious Cupcakes the book is available at all good book stores now! Check out the Miss Melicious Facebook page to find out what flavour cupcakes will be available each day in the shop as well as updates on her book and other exciting Melicious news! Missy has been generous enough to give one lucky Lydia Bakes reader a copy of their very own Miss Melicious Cupcakes book. All you need to do to get in the draw is head on over to the Miss Melicious website or pop into the store and tell me your favourite flavour. Please include your name and email address in the comments below.

Congratulations to Kirstie MacGowan. I will be in contact shortly. Good luck! The winner will be picked at random using the randompicker.com generator and notified on Facebook on the 16th of October 2012. Entries only open to New Zealand residents.
