I'm having a joint garage sale this weekend with my mom and 2 friends, our kids will be there, so I immediately thought "hey we need cupcakes for the garage sale!". Who ever heard of cupcakes to celebrate a garage sale!

This of course got me thinking, I wonder what other crazy occasions the folks at CC have made cakes for???? Please share....

Oh, I think a garage sale is a great reason to make cupcakes !! Look how much exposure you'll get !! Do you have business cards to pass out to people?

I haven't made any cakes for any really crazy occasions yet - but I'm sure we'll hear some doozies here !!!!

I've been known to make a cake simply because I want to, and *then* find the occasion. I call up all my friends: "Do you have an occasion in need of a cake?" It can take quite a few phonecalls, but I usually find some suitable event. icon_wink.gif

How about when having an Open House ? Or leaving a miserable job;
after loosing a lot of weight being on a strict diet; and maybe last day of school. icon_smile.gif

Aunt Sushi, the cupcakes are not for the customers, they are for us!! Which makes it even funnier because I'm not trying to drum up business, I just want to decorate!!

Love the one about the new job and losing weight...

I've made cakes to celebrate the release of certain movies onto DVD. icon_lol.gif Or to have a tea party with my niece and then you have to make cupcakes so the boys will have something. icon_lol.gif I made an elephant to celebrate going to the circus. icon_redface.gif I'm mad at my son right now because he still hasn't finished the Narnia series and I'm going to make a cake to celebrate that. It's the only reason I want him to finish it but he's reading Harry Potter right now so I have to wait a while icon_cry.gif
Then there are the cakes just because you want to try something new. icon_biggrin.gif
