The fine folks at Jakks are the creators of the Cupcake Maker-and when they sent it out, they made a small error, sending 10 cupcake makers instead of 1. Instead of insisting that we ship them back, they very generously told us to keep the extras and use them to help make Christmas better for those in our community.
The kiddos and I were able to open up and test one of these fun contraptions-the video is below. I have one, still clean and in the box for the giveaway. The rest are going into Rotary baskets for Christmas.
The Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker retails for $24.88 at Walmart.com. Now you have a chance to win one!
This contest runs from Monday, November 3nd to Friday, November 7th.
You have the opportunity to enter this giveaway three separate times:
#1 Leave a comment.
#2 Subscribe to Frugal Upstate and then come back and leave another comment (if you are already subscribed then leave a separate comment saying so).
#3 Blog about this giveaway on your site, then come back and leave another comment.
Remember, it is important that each of these be a separate comment in order for me to tally it up! The winner will be chosen using the random number generator.
And sorry folks, due to shipping costs this giveaway is only open to folks in the US or APOs.






Laugh if you want, this is the top item on my 6 year old son’s Christmas list!

Jenn,
This was being demonstrated at ACMoore a couple of weeks ago and the poor woman demonstrating it was having a heck of a time with it. She actually told me that she would not recommend it, it’s junk. Pretty sad coming from the person hired to demonstrate and sell the thing, don’t you think?
Just wanted to let you know!
