Cupcake Coma

I didn’t think it was possible.  I love cupcakes.  Perfect little hand-held, sometimes bite-sized, soft, creamy packages of love, flour, butter, and sugar. 

However, when a $5 charitable donation buys you a ticket to cupcake paradise, the only way the story ends is in a frosting induced coma.  But it was worth it…

Cupcake Camp!    Last night numerous professional and amateur cupcake bakers came together for a night of fun and frosting on your fingers (and face).  

Organized by fellow local blogger Elizabeth, Cupcake Camp was a free event open to the public with the hopes of a $5 donation.  Once inside, you could taste and taste until your hearts delight! 

I was so happy to hear that over $2300 was raised for Lovin’ Spoonfuls!!

The event was most definitely a huge success! 

And now onto the goods…

These little bumble bee bites were my 2nd favorite!  They were from JannaBee’s and had a banana cake and a delicious honey buttercream (if my memory serves me right) IMG_8631 IMG_8633 IMG_8634 IMG_8638 IMG_8639  IMG_8642

The event started at 7pm, and went until 9, but even by 8 there were some tables that looked like this…

I’m glad we got there at 7 ;)

Now I think I’ve had enough cake to last me a month.

Thank goodness for Body Pump tonight!

It was a great event and I think next year I’ll join the bakers…looked like too much fun to miss out!
