Start an Iron Cupcake in your town!

I'm reposting this from the Milwaukee Cupcake Queen cause I think it's pretty awesome, and a great way to get involved with your local cupcake community. See also the official Iron Cupcake site and for those in San Francisco, your own local Iron Cupcake Group, which meets November 24th.

Introducing IRON CUPCAKE:LOCAL.

Many of you are familiar with the local Iron Cupcake:Milwaukee, which started the whole IC phenomenon. If not, it is a local version of IC where local bakers get together once or twice a month and have live taste-offs of cupcakes made with the secret ingredient of choice. Mid-Coast Maine is doing it, so is the San Francisco East Bay!

The Iron Cupcake competition is a trademarked opportunity that is now available for chapters to form all over the world. By launching your own “franchise” you get the rights to use the IC name. You are supplied with custom art featuring your own city-region-state; receive templates for voting ballots, winners certificate, participant labels; 50 Iron Cupcake buttons to sell or give-away at your own discretion.

Also, a customized Iron Cupcake shop full of your cities product will be made available on Cafépress. The package, which is now available at ETSY retails for over $100, but it is available for a limited time for only $74.99. (You can easily sell the included buttons for $1/each and make up most of your purchase price – awesome!) For more information, visit http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14771004 .
