Monday, February 25 is National Cupcake Day and proceeds are being used to support SPCA’s and Humane Societies in many parts of the country. I was looking forward to baking dozens of cupcakes with my daughters so we could participate in fundraising. Sadly, my broken wrist has gotten in the way of our plans. Next year, I’ll just have to bake double the amount!
In honor of National Cupcake Day, I’m showcasing some cupcakes that I’ve presented on Life Through the Kitchen Window over the past year or so. I hope they inspire you to do some cupcake baking and worthy fundraising of your own, whether this year or next!
I hope someone brings cupcakes into the office tomorrow; I’ll gladly make a donation for one of these sweet treats in support of preventing cruelty to animals and funding programs that find loving new owners for abandoned pets.

Oh I don’t know where to start! I remember being impressed by those little boy blue cupcakes. Which do you recommend as my next batch for the girls???
I don’t know where to start either! If I could bake today I might start with the twice the vanilla cupcakes, but then again those chocolate cupcakes were really good. The little boy blue cupcakes are definitely the most spectacular but they take the most work, what with the little meringues. But then again, you’d have the meringues too! Actually, today I’d go for the lemon. Maybe …!
That’s a beautiful cupcake round-up, Mar, and for a great cause. What a wonderful way to raise funds and awareness of a worthwhile charity. I hope the day is successful.
Thanks, John! I figured if I couldn’t bake from scratch I could at least provide some cupcake inspiration.
This will be one of my new favorite holidays! Your cupcake pictures are beautiful… 🙂
Thanks for the compliment man! I think we should all get the day off for national cupcake day next year.
Thank you for the compliment Meg! I think we should all get the day off for national cupcake day next year.
I didn’t know there was an official “National Cupcake Day!” It seems that you have made so many wonderful cupcakes that we should celebrate them every single day to the year!!
I only recently heard about this special day too, Rebecca. I think it would be a great holiday to have off! I’ve got quite a few cupcake ideas up my sleeve; who knows, maybe eventually I’ll have enough to make one each day of the year.
Sounds like it would be a delicious year….
You are incredible! I am salivating here! So beautiful! And I love the charity to prevent abuse of animals. Wonderful Mar!
I hope you don’t mind if I reblog your link on my reblog page?
Thank you so much, Judy! I hope next year I’ll be able to participate and get out there to actually raise some funds. It’s a great cause. Thank you for asking about the re-blogging; yes please go ahead. I’m honoured!
You have made some beauties…that is for sure!
Thank you for the compliment Karen!
