So, this weekend, as you may have read, I (Rachel) am heading to Chicago to hang with cupcake goddesses Jessie Olseon of Cakespy, Sandy Ploy of Iron Cupcake and Sheela Namakkal of Minneapolis cupcake company Miel y Leche and finally meet Natalie of Bake & Destroy (they will be at our Meetup, I think, save for Jessie, who's rocking the Renegade Craft Fair).
I arrive Friday evening and leave Sunday evening. In the time in between, I'm basically eating cupcakes nonstop. I'm still waiting to hear from a few places, but in addition to Sunday's cupcake meetup at Molly's Cupcakes from 11:30-1 followed by a trip to check out Cakespy art at the craf fair, which is basically full at 15 people but if you really want to join us, email me at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com and I will see what I can do.
