Cupcake 194... Royalty

Morning my little Cherry Bakewells! This week's Challenge will bring May to a close. Can you believe it already? People will be starting to twitch about Christmas soon!

I'm afraid I have some sad news, Peeps. Last week was Denise's last Challenge at Cupcake, as she has decided to take a well deserved break. Denise has been at Cupcake since March 2009 and in that time, we have come to love her for her kindness, generosity and loyalty, in addition to her wonderful creations. Thank you so much for all you have done Denise, for your friendship and for your hard work, you will be missed. Please don't be a stranger.

We also say goodbye to our May Guest Cupcakes this week. Beth, Mia and Siv, thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous work with us, we've loved having you.

I am very excited to tell you that Kristy, from Some Odd Girl, who are sponsoring us this week, has joined the Cupcakes, for one week only! Whoot! You can see her fabulous work downstairs...

Wow, thanks awfully for playing with our Book Lover Challenge last week. All the entries were, as always, super, we loved seeing your lovely creations.

Of course, Monday morning means time for another Cupcake and Keeley has chosen:


... Royalty ...

Do I need to say too much about this? Let's see where Royalty takes you, but don't be cheeky!!

You have until 8pm, GMT on Sunday 03 June to place your entry for this Challenge. Enjoy!
