A couple months back we were contacted by one of the members of the Renegade Rollergirls (SO CAL) for a cupcake order for a huge event they are having on Sunday, June 28. These girls are CRAZY (in a good way)! For those of you unfamiliar with roller derby here’s the rundown (according to Wikipedia):

Roller derby is an American-invented contact sport—and historically, a form of sports entertainment—based on formation roller skating around an oval track. In past decades, roller derby had been primarily a professional or paid sport for both women and men. Contemporary roller derby is international, predominantly female, typically operates on an amateur       (or unpaid) circuit, and has a strong do it yourself ethic which often features both athleticism and a satirical punk, third-wave feminism aesthetic.

I have to admit, I am very intrigued by this sport. In fact, if I wasn’t pregnant, didn’t have 2 kids, or a business to run, I would SO OWN THE RINK! 

So, this event they are having I believe is a fundraiser type event that looks to be fun for the entire family. The so called “Battle of the Burrito” is a rematch between the Renegade Rollergirls SO CAL (who were defeated in the last match) vs. a San Diego team. The event is Sunday, June 28 from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Held at the SO CAL street hockey roller skating rink at 11700 Knott Ave., in Garden Grove. Admission is FREE and there will be a D.J., moon bounce, face painting and more! The main event…THE REMATCH, is at 2:00 pm. Be sure to check them out!

So, for the cupcakes, we wanted to make sure the represented the attitudes of these ladies…Senious, Raw, and IN CHARGE! We went with, of course a roller skate, it is roller derby…a skull with a bow, their style is rockabillyish and we thought that would fit right in…..a band-aid, after all, this is a FULL CONTACT sport….and a grenade, cause these girls are lethal! We placed each decoration atop a fondant circle outlined in pink (to keep it girly) and added some camouflage in the middle to match their web page. Here they are:
