Back in January 2011, I published a post here on XpertHR Employment Intelligence, "to highlight and celebrate an unsung hero of the HR universe" - namely, the HR cupcake.Over the subsequent 12 months, I've been consistently amazed and delighted by the outpouring of creativity and delicious baked goods that have been offered up by contributors to the original post and via the #hrcupcakes hashtag on Twitter.
Now Australian HR professional Jo McMahon has taken HR cupcakes to the next level with the launch of the HR Cupcakes blog!
In the inaugural post, Jo explains her reason for launching this blog:
I've started this blog to publish photos (and some recipes/instructions) for my own cupcakes online, as I'm often asked for these when I put pictures on twitter. It's quite a challenge to write a recipe in 140 characters or less!Although the blog was only launched at the start of this week (on Monday 9 January 2012), Jo has already published a number of superb posts, highlighting a number of her creation, including the following: Ninjabread Men; Lime and Coconut Cupcakes; Nutella Cupcakes; and Rainbow Cupcakes (also pictured above, with Jo's kind permission). She has also put out an invitation for guest bloggers to share their HR cupcakes creations, recipes and stories via the new blog.
I wish Jo every success with this excellent new blogging endeavour, and strongly recommend that you visit and bookmark the HR Cupcakes blog as soon as possible!
