CupcakeCamp Toronto is this Sunday, and registration is now closed - there will be over 1,000 cupcakes!
Here's some more information from an interview at Taste T.O. We are looking forward to seeing and hearing ALL about this fun event!
With more than 40 bakers registered already, Fitzpatrick calculates they can accommodate over 100 tasters, and that the event will be a place for bakers to network; sharing recipes, decorating tips and even business information on things like how to turn a home baking hobby into a small business or as a place for people to find a baker for an upcoming event.
While CupcakeCampTO is geared more towards the home baker, Fitzpatrick and her partners are allowing people to participate by bringing purchased cupcakes if they want to.
“We will definitely differentiate between the two,” says Fitzpatrick, “but it's looking like people are opting to bake rather buy. One of our main priorities was to make this event accessible to all cupcake lovers – whether you use a cake mix, bake from scratch, or buy from a bakery.”
And while most of the participants are home bakers, Fitzpatrick doesn’t rule out the participation of professional bakers or established cupcake shops. “Obviously, we'd love for bakeries to participate, as well, but this is a social event, not a bake sale. It's all about the love & art of the cupcake.”
“Networking is a key component to CupcakeCampTO,” she says. “It's a great way to meet new people, catch up with old friends and promote yourself. There are a lot of talented bakers out there who are afraid to take their talent to the next level, this is definitely the place to showcase your talent and maybe swap some recipes.
“Since CupcakeCamp is inspired by the un-conference movement, people will be sharing their knowledge in a more casual way.”
