Hi fabulous readers! Today is a super exciting one at Pizzazzerie! We are so thrilled to be partnering up with the oh-so-chic Petunia Pickle Bottom! After receiving the Cosmopolitan Carryall in black forest cake, I became instantly smitten with the clever designs, stylish looks, and fabulous options from PPB! So smitten, in fact, that the darling team at Petunia Pickle Bottom and I decided to partner up for a giveaway and sweet treats party! With one of their collections perfectly known as “Cake“, it was only fitting to serve up some sweet cake alongside a giveway for all of YOU!
I fell in love with their Spring 2014 collection which includes the Captivating Corinth print. The gorgeous aqua-green and yellow is so perfect for “spring”, especially after such a cold and dreary winter. And GUESS WHAT?! We’re so excited to be giving one lucky reader a City Caryall in Captivating Corinth print AND (I know, it gets better!!) the Beginnings Book in Captivating Corinth too! One lucky mama will win both of those items, woohoo! Throw that confetti! Details on entering at bottom of post…
Time for a little treat for all of us! I decided this giveaway called for a SWEETS PARTY, inspired by Captivating Corinth of course! My favorite cupcake recipe for you to try! I served these up with cookies in the print made by the fabulous Sweet E’s Cookies!
Here are the instructions for making these delicious cupcakes + a printable recipe below!
I frosted these cupcakes with a Wilton Star Tip (you can find these at a local craft or cake store). Simply swirl and lift up (starting from the outside into the center). Add a white shimmer Sixlet candy for a little garnish and ta-da!
Serve up your cupcakes on a simple white cake stand with little yellow flowers! And of course, a sweet treats party needs something pretty to sip on! Lemonade is an easy drink that is sure to please your sweet-eaters! Jazz up your glasses by tying on a coordinating ribbon and a flower garnish! It’s the little things that truly make a party special!
Get the full recipe (and of course enter our giveaway below)! Enjoy a few more pictures because desserts are just too cute..

My sister is pregnant and this bag is on her wish list! This gift would make me the best auntie!!
I would love to win this for myself and my baby girl!! Love PPB! Thank you! xo
The PPB bag is beautiful! I’m currently pregnant, and we don’t know the gender. The print is perfectly gender neutral!
I have been looking at PPB bags to convert into a camera bag! I just love the style!
This bag is beautiful and I’m going to make those cupcakes soon!
Love the spring colors and how they match the cookies. Thank you for the chance and happy spring. :)
Every hard working mom deserves a change bag that would make her feel stylish and beautiful everyday! I’d love to capture our newborns beginnings with that beautiful book also!
I am having a baby in a few weeks and would love to win!!
Love those cupcakes! Your pictures and presentation are gorgeous!! I need a bag like this to carry all baby things ;)
I love Petunia Pickle Bottom, and I am even more in love with the captivating Corinth print now that I’ve seen your delicious work! It is so beautiful!
Corinth is a name My cousin (My soulmate) and I decided I would name a child one day. My cousin passed when we were only 24 yrs old. I Did have a son I named after him, but never got to use the name Corinth. This would bring focus on so many memories of moments great and small that my cousin and I shared– daily as I use it with my little boy. It hapens to be in one of my favorite color schemes too. I have so many memories of this wonderful soul to share with my growing family. Truth, nobody deserves anything in life– any more than others. Appreciating opportunities is so important though.

WOW!!!! This is my favorite color combo!!! My entire living room is done up n this color scheme. Love the bags, love the party decor and setup, and love the cupcakes! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I am a stay at home mom to 3 beautiful kids and am pregnant with baby #4. I am in love with the colors and style of this bag. I am not finding out the gender of this baby so the color combo on this bag is perfect. Gosh I would love to win it!
SOOOOOO LOVING THIS COLOR COMBO AND PRINT! Where can I purchase more like this?
With a little one on the way in May this would be awesome to win. Their stuff is so beautiful!
I love that print & color combo! The cupcakes look delicious!
I am an absolute die hard Petunia fan! I love this combo and your cupcakes looks delicious!
Love fabulously adorable cookies… what a fabulous idea.
I would loooooove this beautiful diaper bag!!
Could these look any more adorable? The cupcakes are perfect and I am in love with the PPB bag!
LOVE this diaper bag line. Since I’m a first time mom like you–I hope I win!
I have a 2 year old and a new baby due next month, this would be perfect for both kids!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE this bag/pattern and would be delighted to win it!! I should win it because I REALLY LOVE IT!!!
It would be amazing to win this bag for my baby girl due June 2nd. PPB makes the most gorgeous things.
Expecting a baby boy this summer. I think this is the perfect gender neutral print with just enough girly for mama. ;)
I love the teal color you were able to achieve with the frosting. And those cookies are amazing. I am so in love with this print.
I have always wanted to own some PPB! I also have a candy themed bday party to plan for May, so some cutie patootie printables are always helpful!!!
What a fun color combination…very gender neutral too! I love PPB! I swear by all their products..perfect for toting around all your kid stuff (and yours too!)
I LOVE PPB. I have loved it since I 1st saw it. I have one of the fancy fabric boxy’s that I used for my son…but it had a velcro closure, the only design flaw. It woke him up whenever I opened it. I can’t use that with my new baby girl because newborns need their sleep. Now I need a new one…
Love the pattern and colors! The cupcakes are fun and I love how the cookies mimic the pattern on the bag!
Ugh, I just a baby and am always swooning after Petunia Picklebottom!
Love the color scheme. Both colors are my favorites! Those cupcakes are scrumptious and I can’t wait to whip them up this weekend to enjoy some with my family!
I always drool over these bags!! I just had my 6th baby and would love a stylish new diaper bag. Thanks :)
Third (and final) baby is making an appearance this summer and so I am definitely going to need a diaper bag. I’ve never had a PPB bag but I’ve heard good things so I’d love the opportunity to use one for this baby.
Okay…. Now I’m
Hungry :)
I’ve been a huge ppb fan for six years now – following their style evolution, being a major advocate for the brand, and of course building my ppb collection! I would love to add these to it!
Would love to carry this PPB with me as I welcome Baby #1 in May!! Thank you for the chance!!
love that turquoise, yellow, white color scheme! And love PPB!
Love all things Pizzazzerie and Petunia Pickle Bottom!!!
I hope to win because I love all things PPB that I’ve seen but it’s not in the budget typically so it’d be real nice to win one. Thanks.
Love the bag and this party! would be great for my baby boy baby sprinkle! =0) love Petunia pickle bottom bags! they are the best and would so need one!
I just found out I am pregnant with baby #3 :) I’m in need of a diaper bag that will fit stuff for my toddler, my 8 month old and soon to be new little one!
This would be perfect for my sister and her little baby girl.
Our first and only is due in September and I have been eyeing PPB bags since we started trying!
I should win because I’ve never won ANYTHING lol! Plus I have 3 kids and we live on 1 income so budget is tight :). My hubby is a drill sgt in the army so with his busy schedule I took over running the house hold.
Having a baby real soon and this print is the best and i love that it will come with the beginnings book too! this will be our first boy and with two toddlers in the house already anything for better organization, comfort and ease will be great like this!
I’d love to win this, as i had been holding out purchasing a PPB bag for my little man until the spring patterns arrived- and this one is my FAV too! Not to mention, he just turned 1 month old, and is still in need of this adorable bag! =)
Why do I deserve to win? Does loving my other PPB bag count?!
Love the colors and the design of this bag! With three under 5 I love that this is the perfect size for us!
Even before I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted a PPB bag. They’re so stylish and functional!
I’d love to win this, these colors are fantastic for spring!! Love the quality of Petunia !! Wish these goodies came along with the bag, they look amazing!!
There’s a lot of expecting ladies, congrats! I’m due in May with a baby girl. I’d love to win this bag as a “push gift” to myself. After a long 2nd battle with Hyperemesis this would be a much appreciated pick-me-up! I’ve never owned a PB, and I’m absolutely smitten by their design. This is such a pretty Springtime bag.
The backpack option would be a lifesaver to say the least, always out and about with the kiddos when baby wearing is a must
I am a huge fan of Petunia Pickle Bottom! Would love to win this bag to give as a gift to one of my expectant girlfriends :)
Pregnant with baby number five, this bag would make me so happy! In the last 3 months my hubby broke his ankle and our oldest was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a stint in the ICU. It’s been a rough winter and aqua and yellow seem like a great solution for getting rid of the blues;)
It’s less than 30 days ’til d-day and I’m still bagless!!! Pick me :-)
Love the Cake collection!
I would love to win because this would be the perfect diaper bag to take with me everywhere with my little ones. It looks like a great size bag, and amazing quality! I love the new Captivating Corinth print, so gorgeous! Thanks for the review!

I love this bag! It would be so great to carry all of the stuff my kiddo needs, and still be stylish.
I absolutely love PPB products! The last year has not been the greatest with my health. My husband and I had decided to start a family and we found out I had a cyst on my ovary. I had surgery for endometriosis, lost my job in the process. But long story short I am doing better and although I am not pregnant yet, we are still trying and are hoping for the best! So what a great incentive this would be! :)
