We just got word that the LA Cupcake Challenge is already in the works! This is the 3rd Annual Challenge and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it. It will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2010. It will take place from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. The event sells out each year, and for those that think cupcakes are just a fad, this event (and the media attention it garners) proves otherwise.  The goal this year is to get about 30-40 “judges” (in addition to the attendees’ votes) consisting of bloggers, editors, etc. Oh, and the icing on the cupcake (so to speak)…a percentage of proceeds will support Noah’s Bark Animal Rescue.  

For those of you who made have missed all the “buzz” last year, here are the results:

 

Best Traditional:

1st:  Susie Cakes: Red Velvet

2nd:  Two Parts Sugar: Raspberry Red Velvet

3rd:  Blue Cupcake: Chocolate

 

Best Original:

1st:  Polkatots: Dulce De Leche

2nd:  Sugar Jones: Blackberries and Cream

3rd:  Southern Girl: Sweet Potato Pie

 

Best Overall:

1st:  Polkatots:  Dulce De Leche

2nd:  Sugar Jones:  Blackberries and Cream

3rd:  Sugar Jones: Casanova’s Kiss

 

While we took 2nd last year in the best traditional category, this year we want a SWEEP! Yes, you heard correctly….bakeries BEWARE, we are holding nothing back and WILL be the talk of the competition! OK, but really, we can’t wait for this event! We had such a fun time last year and win or loose, we know this year will be even better. We will be sure to keep you all posted on what’s to come!
