The 2025 Pinkorama Round Up
Calling all 2025 Pinkorama participants to take a bow! It’s time for the 2025 Pinkorama Round Up!
This year, we’ve got a unicorn with a taste for raspberry jam, the Yale swim team jumping on a table, and Eliza Hamilpeep giving wise counsel to her Alexander.
Before we go further– I know, I know, you’re waiting for the peeps!– I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the Pinkorama participants. Thank you for being so generous with your time, your energy, your creativity. Thank you for creating this oasis of sugary joy.
And now, without further ado, the Peeps! (Presented in the order in which I received them.)
1.”The Elusive Peepicorn”, by Carla and Rowan (from The Temptation of the Night Jasmine)
Robert, Duke of Dovedale, and Charlotte go unicorn hunting using a plate of jam tarts as bait– and I think they’ve found one!

2. “2 Peeps”, by Candace and Cassandra (from Two L)
As faculty and student at Harvard Law, Cliff and Julia can’t go out for dinner without the campus going wild– but what if they’d met when they were both undergrads at Yale? A distraction by the Swim Team in Yale’s Commons keeps this meet cute from being any kind of meet. (Except maybe a swim meet.)

3. “The Girl from Peepwich Street”, by Maddie, with crocheted Peep by Laura (from The Girl from Greenwich Street)
Arriving home in the wee hours after the long first day of the Levi Weeks trial, Alexander Hamilton receives some snacks and wise advice from his wife, Eliza (now and always his Peep).

A huge round of applause to all the participants! Carla, Rowan, Candace, and Cassandra, I am in awe of your Peep-craft. It’s amazing to me how much expression and character you manage to convey with confections. Thank you so much for bringing Night Jasmine and Two L gloriously to Peep!
As far as I’m concerned you’re all winners and I owe each team an ARC of What Happens at Nightfall! (I’ll keep you posted on when those are expected.)
Start preparing your ideas– and your Peeps– for the 2026 Pinkorama!
OMG love them all! Great job dressing that peep, Maddie! I have to vote for 2 Peeps – love the food trays, and the speedos are hilarious!
Can’t wait to get back in the game for next year’s competition.
Love them all, also. Robert and Charlotte bring back such good memories of one of my favorite books.
I vote for #2
I love Hamilpeep, but I think I have to go with the swim team speedos! Too funny!
I complete missed the announcement that this was happening this year! So sad – I’m definitely participating next year! These are all great and well done. I’m always in awe of the peep creativity!
I mean, I was planning on voting for ”The Elusive Peepicorn” and then in my email there was a recipe for raspberry tarts, so the universe is telling me I was right to choose this one. Elusive Peepicorn!
Always fun, thank you Lauren 😊 can’t wait for the ARC of What Happens at Nightfall!
