 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 27, 2010I’m kind of addicted to chocolate so im gonna say chocolate. but it depends on what flavor the cupcake is
Cathie
January 27, 2010Butter cream. Or cream cheese. Frankly, you put enough sugar and fat in it and I’ll eat just about anything.
Shelly W.
January 27, 2010So cute! I love the butter cream frosting myself.
Katherine K.
January 27, 2010Vanilla swiss buttercream (what can I say…I’m a purist)…unless it’s chocolate cake because we all no that a chocolate cake just isn’t quite right without a dense chocolate frosting! 🙂
Ari
January 27, 2010I love this apron! I’ve been on the search for a cute one. My favorite frosting has got to be a maple cream cheese frosting- so delicious.
Emily
January 27, 2010my favorite frosting: your buttermilk chocolate frosting. It’s become my standard go-to frosting and I use it on anything chocolate. My relatives are all “believers” in it too.

January 27, 2010Pretty apron! Favorite frosting depends upon its base, but the ideal match for me is simple: milk chocolate frosting on yellow cupcakes (maybe with a bit of toasted coconut for an extra special treat).
Tammi
January 27, 2010That is by far the cutest apron I have ever seen and how perfectly fitting for this blog.

January 27, 2010oh! my fave frosting is chocolate peanut butter! sorry, read too fast.
Jan
January 27, 2010Strawberry is my alltime favorite but it doesn’t work on all cupcakes of course. An apron is like a million other things I want but dont *need* so it’s not in the budget. Would be fun to win it though. Fingers crossed.
Nicole
January 27, 2010My favorite is definitely Italian meringue
Jaime K
January 27, 2010My mom’s almond buttercream! Yum!

January 27, 2010Beautiful 🙂
I have to second the cream cheese frosting myself. Although my waistline probably does not agree.
Cream cheese frosting with pineapple flavour is my favourite.
Jenny
January 27, 2010who DOESN’T like cream cheese frosting? YUM.

January 27, 2010The sour cream frosting with pecans that top my favorite carrot cake…nothing better.
Jessica
January 27, 2010I’m going to be typical and say cream cheese.
Alex
January 27, 2010I love plain old fashioned buttercream frosting with sprinkles. Because sprinkles make everything better.
Monica
January 28, 2010My sister-in-law’s Key Lime frosting is to die for! Wish I had the recipe! This apron would be a hit at the nationwide week long Bake for Hope bake sale benefitting Susan G Koman For the Cure Foundation! Go check out the site! Show off your baking for a good cause!
Carrie Z
January 28, 2010Such a tough decision! It’s a tie between cream cheese and a good vanilla frosting with specks of vanilla bean.
Amber B

Cheryl
