Cupcake Giveaway!


Have I told you lately how great you are? Seriously folks, I’ve been so charmed by all the new names and faces popping up in the comments and the followers list, along with my near and dear blog buddies. I realize that taking pictures of my edibles and posting them on the internet is weird to most sane people, but you still accept me as I am, country bumpkin food geek and all. You make my day. Thanks for stopping by.

Another thing that makes this food geek’s day: Patisserie on Fourth here in Bismarck. Have you been there yet? Have you seen the gorgeous desserts and sampled the heavenly bread and scones? Crust and crumb, come hither. I adore this place and I think you will too. If you haven’t been there yet, now you have no excuse because dessert’s on me. Free cupcakes! Interested? Here are the details.

Julie from Lone Prairie Cupcakes, who sells her lovely confections at Patisserie, is whipping up a half-dozen picture-perfect made-from-scratch RED VELVET cupcakes for our little giveaway. Just check out this sweet little number.


If you like cupcakes (check!) and will be in the Bismarck area this week (check! check!), leave a comment naming your favorite cupcake flavor by Tuesday night by 9:00 pm Central. On Wednesday, I’ll contact a random six of you with a coupon valid this week to pick up your free luscious red velvet cupcake at Patisserie on Fourth in downtown Bis-bang! That’s it! Easy peasy, right?


And I promise your cupcake won't have a bite taken out of it, k? I just had to taste test...for your sake, of course.

Maybe you are not in Bismarck but your mom/dad/best friend/cupcake-loving former high school gym teacher lives here - you can still enter and pass on the coupon to your favorite Bismarck resident (besides me, of course) if you win. That’s cool.

Even if you don’t partake in the giveaway goodness, know that Lone Prairie Cupcake deliciousness is always available at Patisserie on Fourth as well as directly on the LPC website. Click and drool.

So: what’s your favorite cupcake, Cupcake?

  1. Oooh, oooh, it's my Mom's birthday on Tuesday! I'll enter for her! Ummmm... I just pretty much love and adore ALL cupcakes... that red velvet look(ed) delicious, but my all time favorite is probably the ever simple chocolate with white frosting. Yum, yum.

  3. I looooove cupcakes!!! Its like automatic portion control .... and you get the perfect amount of frosting on every one!
    I love your blog too! I stumbled across it one day [I don't know how I got here!]. Although we live in the South, because my husbands parents are both from North Dakota my husband was raised eating what he calls "North Dakota farm food" --- and I don't know how to cook any of it! I had never heard of a Strawberry Rhubarb pie before we met - I hope to make my first one this Spring ;-)

  4. Cupcakes? I love cupcakes! (I also love Julie's other creations, like her paintings.) Red velvet is delicious, but my all-time favorite cake is white wedding cake with white buttercream frosting. Mmmm.

  6. Pick me! I live in Bismarck! I am also a food geek that takes pictures of food:) My hubby teases me from time to time, I do think he knows how lucky he is to be my main taste tester though!

    As for a flavor...I don't think I have met a cupcake I don't like.

  7. What a great contest! I love yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting, but I would love to try Patisserie's coconut cupcakes. If I win the contest, I'd pass it along to my Daddy :) Love your blog, Beth!
