Last Saturday, forty mini cupcakes were contestants in the Third Annual LA Cupcake Challenge. They were adorned with pretty liners and staged on cupcake tiers like they were contestants in a beauty pageants. The funny thing about mini cupcakes is that they tend to be "top heavy" with more frosting than cake. They were some very good cupcakes with creative pairings of flavors. I was in cupcake heaven seeing all the cupcakes and meeting the bakers.
One of my favorites won best overall. Jus Minis made a delicious Caramel Banana cupcake. The owner of JusMinis is nineteen year old Justin Polacek so I am pleased that his cupcake won.
