Update on the Cupcake Decorating Championship in NYC on Sept. 15

Bre Pettis has posted on his blog about the upcoming cupcake-decorating contest that Rachel and I will be judging.

He writes:
On September 15th, at the second Ignite, I will be presenting the Cupcake Decorating Championships.

Here’s how it works: I’m going to bake as many blank cupcakes as my little oven can stand. First come first served. There will be with some basic cake decorating materials so you can decorate your cupcake. Then you’ll write your name on a 4×6 card to display your cupcake. Then a group of cupcake expert judges will pick cupcake finalists and the crowd’s applause will ultimately decide the cupcake decorating champion.

There is a time limitation, so if you’re feeling ambitious and want to create a ginger bread model of the Empire State Building on top of a cupcake, plan ahead, make it the night before and Bring Your Own Cupcake! (BYOC)

There are two rules.

* A relatively normal sized edible cupcake must be involved.
* No explosives (Sad, I know. But too messy!)

Location: New World Stages - Map

Rough schedule:

* 7:15 Door & Bar opens
* 7:30 Cupcake Contest Begins
* 8:15 Cupcakes Contest Ends
* 8:45 Ignite Talks Begin
* 9:45 Ignite talks end; upstairs bar opens

What will the creativity of NYC bring to the cupcake? There’s only one way to find out, be there!

Hope to see plenty of people there!
