All three of its locations, two in Roanoke and one in Christiansburg, will offer a featured signature chocolate cupcake with fudge icing, sprinkles and a pink ribbon. There's also a mini chocolate cupcake with vanilla bean icing and breast-cancer awareness sprinkles. A portion of the proceeds will go directly to Komen.

"It's just a great way for us to show our support for ladies going through this," said baker Kayla Flippen. "It's the least thing we can do is decorate a few cupcakes and donate what we can."

$1 from the sale of each signature cupcake and $.25 from the sale of each mini cupcake will go to Komen.

75% of all the money the Virginia Blue Ridge chapter raises stays in the community it serves to help with education, screening and treatment support.

25% goes toward research and finding a cure for breast cancer.
