Editor’s Corner

Casi Densmore-Koon began her love affair with fashion at a very young age; from borrowing pearls from her grandmother at the age of five and subscribing to Seventeen magazine at the age of 12.

Casi received her B.A. in fashion merchandising (minor in journalism) from the Academy of Art University. During college, Casi managed (sometimes working 80 hours a week!) a sweet little high-end boutique located in Georgetown, the oh-so-fab Washington, DC shopping district – just blocks from Georgetown Cupcake! Utilizing her passion for fashion, styling and her talent of writing, she began writing articles for several fashion publications. With aspirations to reach a broader audience, she founded cupcakeMAG in 2008. cupcakeMAG is all things sugar coated & the sweet desire of fashion and quickly became a success we never dreamed of but always hoped for! We bring readers the latest buzz in fashion, beauty and home with lots of celebrity interviews in the mix, only the best product reviews, giveaways galore and so much more – and lets not forget to mention, lots of fashion week coverage and our latest styling service, cupcakeMAG styles. cupcakeMAG covers it all!

cupcakeMAG is very well known for their support in the small biz community and passionate about the platform we have built showcasing HANDmade products and artisans. cupcakeMAG loves to help spread the word when we come across one oh-so-fab Etsy shop or local designer.

cupcakeMAG Littles was inspired thanks to being a mommista to four girls. It is all about finding the must-have products – we share fun finds, offer ways to stay chic, & giveaways galore – all while keeping up with four Littles under 8!

Just recently, Casi was thrilled to join The Party Dress team where she blogs about incorporating home and fashion trends into your party themes!

Casi blogs daily on Babble too!

Why CUPCAKE?

Casi here! Thanks to my Dad, “Cupcake” is my nickname (since I was born) and defines the sweet desire we all have for FASHION & all things stylish. Who doesn’t love a cute pair of shoes or an amazing pair of HANDmade earrings? cupcakeMAG is for all fashionistas and shopaholics who are always in search of the latest trend or the next big, fabulous, thing.

The internet is the wave of the future. While fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, W and InStyle (which we love!) will never go out of print, they lack one key ingredient of fashion: time.

Our goal is to stay up to date minute-by-minute, not month-by-month. cupcakeMAG allows us to keep our readers up to speed. While we mingle with celebs & observe the latest trends from the Hollywood Hills to Manhattan’s Elite, you will always be in the know.
