My Pasta Mania! Cupcakes

Get a Thumbs Up From Twinkie Chan!

A fan since 2009, with no idea how to crochet, her designs inspired me to pick up a hook and take a stab at needle crafting. So you can imagine my excitement when I entered a local baking contest and not only was she a prize sponsor, but she also liked my entry. *AWESOME* Well, I did not get very far with my crochet endeavour, or my recipe for Pastamania! Cupcakes (Boo Hoo!) so I decidedly took up knitting instead (Yay!). I didn't win the contest, but having her comment on my cupcakes made entering worth it! I haven't given up on crochet either; every now and then I'll sit down with my how to book and practice. One day I'll crochet like the wind ;)

This past weekend I took a peek inside the studio of Twinkie Chan! She gave RobbieLee, author of Chickadee, the inside scoop. It was just how I imagined it would be; a candy land of yarn! Go Check it out and get inspired!
