Dealbreaker reports on a very interesting cupcake party concept: money hidden inside cupcakes! (see Dealbreaker for a step by step find-the-$5-bill-in-the-cupcake roundup - photos taken by camera phone so a little blurry)
Last night CNBC held a little party for the one year anniversary of "Fast Money." I wouldn't call it the "best" party for a cable show about finance I've ever been to (that would be Mark Haines's last soiree. Theme: nude congo line), but it wasn't the "worst" party for a cable show about finance I've ever been to (that would be Cody Willard's short-lived telephone hotline singles 'party line'). I would peg it as a "very good" party (for a cable show about finance)...
The single greatest part of the evening was the genius dessert gimmick. In the center of every "Fast Money" cupcake was a rolled up five dollar bill (wrapped in plastic). Watching guests lunge for every mini cake they could get their hands on no matter the obstacle (physical or conversational: Melissa Francis nearly got trampled by two asset managers, and Ron Blarney got cut off talking about proxy access by at least four different people), you'd think there were, I don't know, tens in them. Obviously, DealBreaker was not above this sort of animal behavior, which you can see after the jump. The pics were taken on a camera phone and are a bit grainy and classless, but so is shoving money in dessert food and making your guests fight for it, without the promise of at least one cupcake having a 100.
