We post photos of your cupcakes.

We attend events and chat with you.

We read and respond to your comments.

But now we want to go further and share who you are as a cupcake baker with the rest of the community.

Starting this month, I will be hosting a column called “Cupcake Baker of the Week” to profile a cupcake creator behind the photos we post throughout the site. I hope to shed light on who’s behind the camera, whisking away at the kitchen counter, and hovering around the oven to finally produce these scrumptious looking cupcakes you see on Cupcakes Take the Cake. Now is the chance to shine the spotlight on the bakers who truly “take the cake.”

Submissions are also accepted, if you or someone you know lives, breathes, eats, and dreams (and bakes!) about cupcakes. E-mail me with the subject title “Hey Melissa! Meet this Cupcake Baker!” at cupcakestakethecake@gmail.com with the person’s name, contact info, and a short blurb about what makes them an interesting candidate.

Looking forward to getting to know the faces and hearts behind the cupcakes!
