Is Maison Cupcake hosting any current giveaways?
Blog giveaways were intermittently held on Maison Cupcake between 2009 and 2016.
There are no current giveaways on Maison Cupcake at present.
You may be seeing the current giveaways page if you have clicked on a link to an old giveaway in a search result or old third party web page such as the Money Saving Expert forum. Many of the old Maison Cupcake giveaways that are no longer active are diverted to this page instead. Some, however are still live pages as I’ll explain below.
Flourless Chocolate Cake from Joanne Harris’s Little Book of Chocolat, this recipe was extracted with permission from the book alongside a giveaway of 3 copies provided by the publisher.
Why are some old giveaway pages still live?
Various old Maison Cupcake giveaway pages are still live. This is because the page had other useful content on there, for instance, this Joanne Harris chocolate cake recipe. This cake was an extract from Joanne Harris’s book of chocolate recipes. It was published, alongside a giveaway of some copies of the book, supplied by her publisher, as promotion for the book launch. Information about the inactive giveaways is being stripped from these live pages as it is no longer useful to new readers.
The last giveaway on this site was held in 2016, we have not hosted any since. For further information contact Sarah AT maisoncupcake DOT com
