**THANKYOU FOR ALL OF YOUR ENTRIES, THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. STAY TUNED FOR THE RESULTS!**
Yes it’s hard to believe that I’ve been writing this blog for a year now. Of course it is absolutely true how time flies when you’re having fun. So far I’ve eaten at some fabulous restaurants, baked a whole lot of Cupcakes, made Macarons with success, been to the Iron Chef Observatory dinner, met my two favourite chefs Gordon Ramsay and Nigella Lawson, Dumpster Dived, cooked on my car engine, been to a Hangi, eaten at a 3 star Michelin restaurant, received a cease and desist letter from a publisher, eaten at a Goth and a Prison themed restaurant and even been to Hooters for Valentines Day…
And because no anniversary party is complete without a gift bag, with the huge success of our CupCake Courier giveaway a couple of months ago, the lovely people at CupCake Courier are generously giving away a set of 2 Cup-a-Cakes to 4 lucky winners!
Cup-a-Cakes are the perfect way to transport single cupcakes without smudging or smooshing the icing designed and patented by a group of mums (and you know you just don’t mess with cupcake baking mums). Each Cup-a-Cake has little grips inside which cushion your cupcake so that if you jiggle or turn it upside down, it stays safely nestled inside, not a hair out of place.
All you have to do is have a look at the Cupcake Courier site and tell me which is your favourite colour of Cup-a-Cake. That’s it, no complicated 25 words or less. Add your entry via a comment to this story. You can enter once daily.
The competition is for Australian residents only (sorry overseas readers but I will have something for you in the future). But they are also available to purchase overseas so you won’t feel like you’re missing out!
The competition ends midnight AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on the 30th of October.
Cup-a-Cakes are available from the Cupcake Courier Australia and NZ: http://www.thecupcakecourier.com.au/

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think my favourite is the pink!
Happy Birthday NQN!
My fave colour would have to be classic white… it goes with everything and never goes out of fashion!
My favourite colour is white - so it visually doesn’t take anything away from the cupcake inside.
Pink Sparkles!
How cute! I took me a while to decide between the pink, white and purple…. but it’s the cutest.
1 year - WOW!
You’ve accomplished quite a lot in 1 year.. Congrats!

I’ve never commented before but you’re a lifesaver when it comes to picking restaurants to eat for my bf and I. My bf always leaves it up to me to decide.

Happy 1 year anniversary! Looking forward to another great year of eating and baking
Orange its a little bit different a little bit brighter.
Happy Birthday
NQN is turning 1? That’s fabulous. Congratulations to you on a fun, successful year!
Good luck to those participating in this contest. I live in the States, or else I’d be entering too.
Congratulations again!
You’re only a year old! But you’re so big and mature for your age! Shouldn’t we be sending you cupcake wrappers (i.e. paper) for your birthday, it being the traditional one year pressie? I hope there’ll be a celebratory lunch or dinner which we can then read about.
Seriously, congrats. I didn’t know the blog was that young but it’s a daily read for me and many, many other people. Your comments are always interesting, even when I don’t fancy the food, and the photography is lovely. I even like the layout of the site, and I’m a professional!
Oh, and the cup-a-cakes? Definitely white. I’d like to have a whole range in different colours of course, but for starters white so as not to detract from the technicolour marvels that are my cupcake creations.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! I love reading your blog.
My favourite is orange!
I love the pink this brings out the little girl in me and takes me back to my grandmothers kitchen
Lime is my favourite as I like all things lime including lime milkshakes that go so well with a cupcake.
fav. colour is watermelon
Blue Sky
Pink Sparkles!

I could send my 6′5″ teenaged son to school with it!
Trust me,
No-one would dare say a word!
Purple I love to wear this colour and have a purple room and a bathroom and toilet painted purple
Happy Birthday!!
I love the orange! I associate orange with warnings, and when cup-cakes are around I definitely need a warning!
I think that my favorite colour is purple - what a cool idea!
Happy Birthday NQN.
My favourite colour would have to be the red.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy anniversary. I can’t believe that you are only writing for one year. Most blogs like yours already writing for more than 2 years, that’s why I was surprised to found out it is still only a baby who already travelling around foodblogging from Freeganism to 3 stars of michelin restaurant, from Sydney to Tokyo then to Finlandia to Paris then London. You already achieved so much for a baby. I bet you will get more and more adventurous foodblogging to the next year.
My favourite Cup-a-Cake is the white one. I can imagine impatiently open it once you can see the beauty inside.
May I ask it with your homemade cupcakes inside? More homemade various cupcakes is better *want to be greedy once*
Lime, i always fool for the green, anything lime, i’m in
watermelon is my favourite looks loke a nifty idea too
I like the pink ones best
Happy Birthday !
Favourite colour- pink.
The purple is gorgeous!!
Happy Birthday!!
My blog birthday is seriously far away but I’m worried i’ll forget it.
I’ve already got a cupcake courier and its so fabulous- great to see they are stocking the cup-a-cake now too. Genius product.
My favourite colour would be the purple i’d have to say, though the white would be good too since you could see the cupcake more? Thank god this wasn’t a 25 word or less because I’ve obviously gone way over…
Anyway, congratulations again on your blog’s birthday! Every time I go to Sydney I always check out the places you go to. I’ve been reading for a while (through Vogue) but I’ve only just started commenting!
Somewhere between pink for my daughter and blue for my son is that adorable PURPLE Cup-a-Cake holder. Perfect for either of them!
Always love RED, my trademark! Make me the winner please, Im gonna use it for my very first cupcake EVER! Hiks!
Almost forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NQN, love ur site! its fun, adorable and full of yummie stuff
