$$parm1$$ If you wish to change your preferences, see the instructions at the bottom. Taste of Home Plus Dear $$firstname$$, GREETINGS from the Taste of Home staff. Food Editor Pat Schmeling has the monumental job of evaluating recipes submitted for our contests. Recently, she sorted through more than 1,800 cupcake recipes for the Cupcake Challenge in the April/May magazine! We also asked readers to share ideas for decorating cupcakes, and one of them was perfect for Pat. “I was thinking about what kind of birthday cake to make for my granddaughter when I came across a photo and description of a cute barn cake with cupcakes that looked like chickens, pigs and the sun,” she told me. “It will be perfect!” (Be sure to check out the Barnyard Bash from reader Colleen Palmer on page 44 of your April/May magazine, which will be arriving soon!) In the meantime, you can enjoy your subscriber-only bonus recipes and features at the Taste of Home Plus website, including our online cupcake cupboard, a handy meal in minutes menu, more tasty twists on ground beef and ways to spice up your meals with nutmeg. You’ll also find crowd-pleasing fare, a fast, frugal feast, handy kitchen shortcuts from fellow subscribers and much more. It’s our way of saying “Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!” Curious about your April/May magazine?
