Oh Wow- I just got back from the Cupcake Challenge that's put on by Drink:Eat:Play Events and I am in sugar Shock! There were 35 entries and all the bakeries worked hard to put out their best traditional and original selections for hundreds of avid cupcake eaters to enjoy. The two bakeries that really stood out for me were The Cake Shop and My Delight (from Ontario). I shot some i-phone footage, but need to figure out how to edit it! So hang tight for that.. ;) In the meantime, here's a peak of the all the cupcakes that I sampled!
Btw, one trend that I saw was glitter on the cupcakes. Yes, actual, sparkly glitter. Thoughts??!
xoox
I think that glitter on cupcakes is something that sneaky bakers could use to visually cover up poor frosting texture or a substandard piping job. Perhaps I am just cynical.

If it's edible, I'm all for it. I'd be really annoyed if it weren't edible though and I had to pick it off.

I was just in SF over the weekend and had Kara's and Miette...yummy! I thought of that because I saw your engagement post, what a sweet story :)
