Seeing as how it’s Halloween, I figured it would be appropriate to skim through the comments for No. 13. Usually considered an unlucky number, yes, but today it is the LUCKY No. 13! The winner of “The Cupcake Diaries” by Katherine Kallinis and Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne is reader Renee Richardson, who wrote:

“We love cupcakes and my 6 year old daughter wants to bake so badly. Thanks for the incredible giveaway.”

Well, Renee, I hope you and your daughter will enjoy this book. Please email me at Lindsey.nair@roanoke.com with your shipping address and I’ll get this in the mail.

Now, for the benefit of those who did not win, I will share a couple of recipes from the book. The Bacon Blueberry Pancake Cupcakes seemed to interest some of you, so click the link for that recipe. I’ll also hit you with their recipe for Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, which sounds perfect for the holidays. Enjoy!
