Free cupcake today for women over 50 to celebrate National Spunky Old Broads Day at The Cake Mamas

When last we posted about Cupcake Wars winners The Cake Mamas in Glendora, California, it was about their free cupcakes for little kids doing jumping jacks for a Preschool Fitness Day. Today we bring you news that women over 50 get a free cupcake for National Spunky Old Broads Day! How cool is that? And an opportunity to post a photo of The Golden Girls (via The Cake Mamas on Facebook) and some custom 50th birthday martini cupcakes they made. Visit thecakemamas.com for more information.

From Patch.com:

Today is National Spunky Old Broads Day, which is the celebrated holiday for Spunky Old Broads month.

And, yes, someone is celebrating the holiday – The Cake Mamas are giving away free cupcakes to Spunky Old Broads.

The Cake Mamas describe Spunky Old Broads on their Facebook page as “positive, fun, butt-kicking mature women over the age of 50 who refuse to sit back quietly and get old. They want excitement!”

If you are a woman over the age of 50, visit their shop at 865 W. Route 66, Unit C, and tell them you’re there for your free Spunky Old Broad cupcake.

How many jumping jacks would you do for a cupcake? Watch these little kids earn their cupcakes by exercising!

If this video doesn't make you smile, I'm tempted to say you're dead inside, but that sounds mean so...I hope this makes you smile! I found it utterly adorable. For a Preschool Fitness Day, kids earned a free cupcake for doing some very enthusiastic jumping jacks. And jumping jacks are easier than kettlebells, right? It's by recent Cupcake Wars winners The Cake Mamas in Glendora, California, via their Facebook page, along with a few kid-themed cupcakes and some fun cake pops.
