Obama and Lincoln cupcake pics!

These shots are from Rachel, who is in Washington, DC, for the event. Her live blogging update doohicky isn't working right now, so I'll post the images and she'll discuss as soon as she can.


Obama and Lincoln in cupcakes

Obama and Lincoln cupcakes, starting to be eaten.


Half Lincoln in cupcakes

From Rachel, "They're filled with Italian meringue buttercream, chocolate or
vanilla. They make their own fondant AND it was all made in Buffalo
and transported to DC! "

Tasty

(Rachel said the fondant was good -- but I'm withholding judgment, as I wasn't there.)


Which president's cupcakes are you eating? No one knows!

I'm sure Rachel will have some more pictures and plenty to tell us, when she gets back or has access to a wireless network.

This event was beyond beautiful. My husband and I spent several hours in the Art museum and took pictures of the display. Unfortunately we weren't able to stick around for the deconstruction, but I bet it was delicious!
