Another Movember is almost but a memory.  I have to say that participation this year was more wide spread than last… and that’s a great thing – because the more people get involved, the more awareness we can spread!  It is equally important to help prevent illness through education and awareness as it is to raise money to find a cure.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to contribute to the cause in our usual cupcake fashion… but we wanted to look back on the efforts we put forth last year.  We were ecstatic to find out that the effects were still rippling.  This tweet is what sparked the idea for this trip down memory lane:

…and it means so much.  It just goes to show that even when you think you’re not making that much of a difference… you really are.  So for those of you that missed it, @emaninTdot participated in a FB ‘MoParty’ – it was a question and answer type online contest event and we had fabulous sponsors who provided the prizes… including two of Toronto’s leading men: hip hop recording artist, Drake and professional soccer player, Dwayne DeRosario.

…and you can see our other awesome sponsors like The One Clothing, 1 Love TO, Big It Up, thinkGood, kre8shun, East Side Mario’s, The Keg and Boston Pizza!

Drake signing our three cd prizes… plus one for me!  =)

In addition to this online event, The Cupcake Place also submitted our specially concocted Movember cupcake for the MoCupcakes event that would eventually be crowned Toronto’s Manliest Cupcake!

The Cupcake Place’s ‘Monday Night Football Baby BOOYAH’ cupcake is a chocolate guiness cupcake topped with a mound of cream cheese frosting, drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce, sprinkled with bacon bits and crushed pretzels and topped with a hand crafted chocolate moustache and salted pretzel stick!

I think that’s all for our blast from the past.  Hope you all enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane with us!
