End of 2012 Holiday Giveaways: Cupcakes and Cookies from Picolina Cupcakes & Co.
When Nicol of Picolina Cupcakes & Co. contacted me about the possibility of throwing a giveaway, she said this in her email: “I know you have already had a few posts about cupcakes and giveaways, and that it might be a little too much”
I wrote her back that in my world, it’s impossible to have to many giveaways, especially when we’re talking cupcakes! And of course I sweet talked her into giving me some samples (By now, you should know my sweet tooth problem I think). Yumm!
Nicol makes her cupcakes and cookies mostly to order (and she also delivers inside greater Lausanne). But on the next 2 Saturdays (15 & 22 Dec) you can find her (and the sweets) at the market (rue du Pont, between Zara and Globus). And while waiting for those Saturdays, now you can try your luck to win these gorgeous and yummy cupcakes and cookies!
To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment and tell us what is your favorite treat for Christmas (gingerbread cookies for me!). Comments are accepted until Monday, 17 Dec 2012 at 11:59PM. Two winners will be picked by random.org. Each of the winner will receive 6 cupcakes and a bag of Christmas cookies.
Good luck!
