Yoga Instructor Wins Cupcake Eating Contest at Ivy Bakery

Nancy Cummings, Cupcake Eating Contest Winner

Saturday, I tried my darndest but after first getting on the wrong train and staying too long on another train, I missed the cupcake eating contest at Ivy Bakery by a minute. However, I did see the detritus and I took a picture of the winner. Nancy Cummings is a yoga instructor and the owner of Bikram Yoga in Bay Ridge. She is the winner of the first annual cupcake eating contest at Ivy Bakery. The contest was a part of the festivities celebrating the two year anniversary of the bakery owned by Daniellan Louie. The contestants were to eat as many chocolate cupcakes in five minutes. Nancy won by eating 17 cupcakes and she was the only woman competitor.
Joel Schectman from The Daily News covered the contest as well as stopping by Robicelli's to see "Cupcake Wars". [Look for a upcoming post on that.]

17 cupcakes?? I think I would have died after 3 in five minutes. Does that make me less of a woman? Less of a yogini? Less of a cupcake lover??

I feel an overwhelming urge to practice eating cupcakes.

I don't know how I ate 17 cupcakes in 5 minutes! I think my competitive edge took over! And besides, they don't taste so great after being dunked in water!
