We blogged earlier about the Paint it Purple CupCake project… Well, the time is quickly approaching for us to post images & recipes of cupcakes created by our readers, Please enjoy the below cupcakes created by one of our alumna’s friends who is also participating in the project. Tomorrow members of the Tallahassee, ETE alumna chapter will be taking cupcakes to the Beta Eta chapter house for the collegians to help decorate.. Then the cupcakes will be brought to the local Tallahassee Domestic Violence Shelter, the Womens Refuge House.. We will of course post photos upon receiving them!! Did you participate in this project and make adorable purple cupcakes to share with those in your life to promote DVA? Be sure to email a photo of your cupcakes and recipe to axofloridastate {at} gmail {dot} com and we will compile them to share!
don’t forget if you and/or your family wore purple to support DVA send those photos our way as well…. we will be highlighting members on our blog this month, and a present thanking you for your support will be headed your way!!!
