<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2009/05/not-exactly-what-pavlov-had-in-mind.html">Monday I posted one of my crazy contests</a>. This time I wanted to give away a box of a half-dozen picture-perfect cupcakes from, where else, <a href="http://www.kupcakz.com/">Kupcakz</a>, Tulsa's first and only little cupcake shop, at 71st and Mingo.
<div>To enter, readers were asked to unleash their creative juices and come up with a fantasy cupcake - the cupcake of their dreams.</div>
<div></div>
<div>You guys. I have never been so tantalized, allured, and downright hungered by a contest on this blog before. Some seriously creative cupcake lovers live in this city. Good thing there's a bakery to cater to those tastes, huh?</div>
<div></div>
<div>I had a really hard time choosing a winner today, which explains why this post is sliding in at 8 p.m. rather than this morning when I'd planned. I wanted to make sure I'd picked the most creative, the most fun, the most innovative cupcake design submitted.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I think, though, that'd we can all agree on the winner.</div>
<div></div>

<div>Congrats, Anna Marie! E-mail me tashadoestulsa at gmail  dot com to claim your prize.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I have to say, though, that one other cupcake caught my eye and grabbed my imagination.</div>

<div>madonnacramer, out of all the cupcake designs submitted, yours would be the one I would mostly likely eat until I passed out in a sugar coma. Raspberry and lemon - so bright, sweet and fresh. Perfect for early summer. Get in my belly!</div>
<div></div>
<div>There's a line we haven't heard in awhile, eh?</div>
<div></div>
<div>Congrats, madonnacramer! E-mail me to claim your prize.</div>

<div>Thanks to all who did a little cupcake dreamin' for this giveaway. Keep those ideas handy, folks, because this sweet contest won't be the last.</div>
