Aprons are useful tools to have in the kitchen. I say tools because they can do quite a lot: protect your clothes, give you a place to wipe your hands or hang a dishtowel, and even provide you with pockets to hold extra spices, spoons and spatulas that you just don’t have room for. And if the apron is cute and fun to wear, that is even better. Flirty Aprons is a company that specializes in cute and – of course – flirty aprons. They have some great patterns to choose from, all with wide fabric belts that tie into a big bow and a beautiful ruffled trim. I recently got to test out one of their most delightful designs: the Frosted Cupcake apron. The apron is made from soft cotton and has a nice strong feel to it. I like the pockets and I love the cut, because these aprons were designed to be flattering. For instance, the ruffle stopped right at my waist, so there was no bunching of extra fabric, and the wide tie makes your waist look slim, not shapeless. And the adorable cupcakes are a nice finishing touch to the whole thing.
This week, I’m giving away the Frosted Cupcake apron pictured above! To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment at the bottom of this post with your favorite frosting flavor – in honor of the frosted cupcakes on the apron. The winner will be chosen randomly on Thursday, January 28th at midnight. Don’t forget to leave your e-mail address when you comment so that I can contact you if you are the winner.
If you don’t win the giveaway, check out some of their other aprons as a gift for yourself or as a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift. Flirty Aprons makes mens and kids aprons, as well. I really like the Cherry Blossom Apron, too, and will be adding that to my own wish list!
Update: This contest is closed. Thanks to everyone who participated!

January 26, 2010There’s a cupcake shop near here that makes Maple cupcakes with a Maple frosting, sprinkled with crumbled bacon. Sounds crazy, but the maple frosting (especially topped with bacon) is awesome.
Candice
January 26, 2010How fun! I love cream cheese frosting on almost anything!
becky
January 26, 2010I have yet to meet a frosting I don’t like but I think chocolate buttercream wins it.
Reese
January 26, 2010Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting!!! Sounds strange, but there’s nothing better on chocolate cuppycakes (or brownies).
Jeff
January 26, 2010Chocolate, always go with chocolate. My girlfriend will kill for cream cheese frosting though…

January 26, 2010I never have owned an apron, but I remember my mother and grandmother wearing them. Now that I am “that age” I would love to win this one! I am just now getting back to healthy enough to cook again like I like to, and do so every day. It’s a blessing for me, and relaxes me. Thanks for the chance to win. I love your site and just discovered you this past week. My email address (just in case) is l.crowder59@yahoo.com. I guess my favorite frosting would have to be a drip icing. I make pound cakes a lot, low fat of course, then I can afford the butter in the drip icing. Make sense? Sure it does!

January 26, 2010I like chocolate or cream cheese frosting depending on the cake.
Tricia

January 26, 2010Last week I made a batch of Italian meringue buttercream…and flavored it with mocha paste (instant espresso powder and cocoa, dissolved in hot water)…Super Yum!!!! Its my new fav! I hope I win! I hope I win! Cutest apron ever!
Sandra :)
January 26, 2010MMMMMMMMMmm pretty apron! I usually leave frosting off baked goods because my husband is into … *rolls eyes* … healthy stuff. But once in a while, you just have to throw caution to the wind and cover a cake with cream cheese frosting 😀
Robin
January 26, 2010An incredible marscapone, cream cheese frosting with whipped cream that a coworker used on her red velvet cupcakes. Its become a standard frosting for me now and I have to limit having it in my kitchen.
Adriana
January 26, 2010That is so adorable! I’m in desperate “knead” (haha wow sorry) of an apron *crosses fingers* My fav flavor, seeing as I have to pick one, is peanut butter.
Heather
January 26, 2010I love love love marshmallow icing….absolute favorite, especially homemade
Kim
January 26, 2010LOVE the Apron, and it would look super cute on me. As for my favorite frosting, well I love cinnamon butter cream on a “spice” cupcake, and really any butter cream made with real BUTTER and VANILLA, no fake stuff on my cupcakes!
Lina
January 26, 2010Adorable apron! My favorite frosting is the mint buttercream recipe I stumbled across somewhere online. Just a dash of cream makes it smooth and delicious. I could (and may have) eat it by the spoonful!
Torey
January 26, 2010Like the above post, have yet to meet any HOMEMADE icing that I don’t like, as long as it is not the canned stuff, I’m good!
Lori
January 26, 2010Hmmm, rough decision. Chocolate, cream cheese and peanut butter are way up there on my list.
Jen
January 26, 2010Vanilla buttercream for sure! I truly hate chocolate frosting.
Pamela M
January 26, 2010My favorite frosting is a Bailey’s Irish Cream spiked cream cheese frosting to go on top of Guinness chocolate cupcakes.
Whitney
January 26, 2010That is such a cute apron! I think my favorite frosting would have to be cream cheese…or mint whipped cream on a chocolate cake! Yummmm
Dolce
January 26, 2010I guess on a regular day, if I have to do it, I will go for a chocolate frosting. But when I want something fancy, bring on the dulce de leche… or maple syrup… Sigh… 🙂
Jenny
January 26, 2010Chocolate! Always Chocolate!! : )
Rachel
January 26, 2010Really cute! I’ve been meaning to make an apron forever, but just can never find the time! It would make kitchen time all the more fun!
Amanda Soon-To-Be-T
January 26, 2010Chocolate, real, homemade chocolate frosting with lots of high fat cocoa powder. Yum! I’m making some white cupcakes with chocolate frosting for a friend’s birthday this weekend.
