Alright folks – this was really hard, but Cynthia and I agreed on five apron designs for you all to vote on. The winner will have his or her apron design custom made courtesy of Cupcake Provocateur, and guess what? One of you will win a prize just for voting – a $25 gift certificate to Cupcake Provocateur!
Vote for your favorite design below (you can only vote once) and if you want to be entered in the giveaway, leave a comment on this post letting me know you voted (you don’t have to say for who).
The poll is open until May 23rd – we’ll announce the winning design and the winning voter that same week!
Joy – Day of the Dead
“My inspiration for this apron is heritage, life, Dia De Los Muertos, tattoos , Mexican pin ups, lucha and lowriders. Why? I grew up in Southern California, and now live in Oregon. Culture shock. I miss bouncing cars with dingle balls and tuck n roll, eating taquitos at Olvera Street and stopping at fruit stands on hot summer days. Putting on an apron, with all these things somehow represented, would make BBQing in the rain much more bearable.”
Lily Munster – Elise
“I chose Lily because her character is so fun, she’s the rock of her family, and who else is such an awesome wife that she would custom make her husband a hot rod hearse for his birthday?! My apron is clearly designed after her dress, but what an iconic outfit! The apron is in light purple with black ribbons. The tie back is black and white, a nod to that flash of white in her hair. The pockets have bats on them like her killer necklace and the bottom of the apron is scalloped like the sleeves of her dress. I put a light ruffle behind the scalloped edge because the apron she wears in the show has ruffles on the bottom I thought it would be super cute on this one. ”
Scooter – Crystal
“I’d love one of the waitress style aprons in a scooter theme. (I own both of these fabrics to contribute to the apron!) I’d also love to buy a matching one for my daughter, they’d be so perfect for girl scout cookie sales next year! ”
Pyrex – Leigh
“My favorite vintage Pyrex pattern is Butterfly Gold. One cool thing about this pattern is how it was made as a burnt orange (or “gold” I guess) pattern on white, and also as a white pattern on burnt orange. I like the look of a classic style half apron like the one in the collage, and think this style of apron lends itself to this design idea: have the apron body be white, and the top border of the apron have the burnt orange Butterfly Gold Pyrex design. The inner pleats of the apron could peek out as burnt orange, to contrast the white body of the apron. I think the orange inner pleats would really make this design stand out and be super cool. My dream apron, for sure!”
Cupcake Devil – Tom
This is Tom’s design, submitted without comment. Now that’s confidence, folks. 😉

Voted for the Scooter partly because we share the same name and it is cute!
Totally voted. It was hard choosing just one to vote for though.
I love them all, but I voted- hope to win the gift card. I have quite the collection but another apron is always a good idea!

I voted. I love the Pyrex.
I voted!
I voted for Joy’s Day of the Dead, everything looks good with Day of the Dead motif, bright, colourful and spicy! I used to live in SoCal as well and I really miss the fresh fruit stands and taquitos etc… now I am really far away 6000 miles and there is no good mexi or texmex food here, so miss it ever so much more! I am planning on doing my kitchen remake in mexican tile and day of the dead, what a great idea for an apron! (handbag, scarf etc)
I voted for Joy – Me encanta México y la cultura latina 🙂
And I really like that design.
Lily Munster Forever!
I totally voted! <3

I voted for Joy. Her design for dia de los muertos is wonderful! I love it when people use culture is designs! Also, i think sugar skulls are very artistic and very pin-up appropriate! Can’t wait to see the actual product!
I voted! These are all awesome ideas!
Love Joy’s by far! 😉

I love all this was a difficult choice!!
I voted!!!
I voted for Lily Munster though it was hard to choose between that and Cupcake Devil. Awesome designs!
Very difficult choice, but had to go with the Day of the Dead. Love the history. My brother and I often created meals together and were fascinated by sugar skulls, I have a beautiful large sugar skull tattoo in memorium of him, this apron reminds me of all those things and I love it!
I voted for Elise’s Lily Munster design. I’ve been a fan of the Munsters since I was a little kid, and I’ve always wanted to dress up like Lily Munster…so the Lily Munster apron is perfect for me! 🙂
voted!
Voted for Lily Munster! <3
I voted for Joy! Her ideas never cease to amaze me!
I Voted! They are all awesome but i love Lily Munster.
While I love,love,love Dia De Los Muertos themed things to bits, I just had to vote for ye olde Cupcake Devil!!
The colours are dope, and I dig the batwing and flame ruffles.
Voted! It was a tough decision, that’s for sure! I’m constantly covered in some kind of sauce or batter, so what better way to get my very first apron! xo
I like them all but though that cupcake devil was the most fun.
I love them all! Voted! (:

Voted for Joy! I love “Día de Muertos”
Pyrex gets my vote
I voted for Joy’s Day of the Dead because not only does she rock with everything else she makes, she is an all around cool Betty! I love all her designs of her lucky cupcake hair clips and bows(which I actually own about 20 of them) She is such a crafty superstar. Hope she wins! I do like all the other contestants as well. Good Luck to you all!
