Tomorrow is Cupcakefest 2010, presented by Rutherford, New Jersey cupcake bakery Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Photos are from their blog. I attended two years ago and it was a lot of fun; if I weren't going to Austin I'd totally stop by.

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop Holds Cupcakefest 2010!
Saturday June 26th 2pm – 8pm
New York, NY. May 24, 2010 – Sweet Avenue Bake Shop is proud to announce Cupcakefest 2010 in partnership with Planet Verge & Big Picture Media, scheduled for Saturday, June 26th from 2pm to 8pm at Rutherford’s Lincoln Park Bandshell (176 Park Avenue). Cupcakefest is an annual celebration of music and cupcakes with several bands playing outdoor sets to raise money and donations for an honorable charity. In addition to free mini cupcakes for all comers, there are raffles and cupcake-eating contests all afternoon.
This year, Cupcakefest is jam packed with musical talent from the NY/NJ area. Some of the artists and bands include: Val Emmich (as seen on 30 Rock and Ugly Betty), Those Mockingbirds, Washington Square Park, Alchemy & the Queen, Young Squire (former members of Gaslight Anthem and And Then There Were Machines), Right as Rain and The Worms.
Besides eating cupcakes and listening to great music, Cupcakefest is held to raise money and donations for a different charity or organization each year. This year, Sweet Avenue is partnering with the Passaic Animal Shelter of Passaic, NJ. All of the proceeds from the raffles and cupcake-eating contest will be donated to this needy nearby shelter. Cupcakefest is free to the public, but all attendees are strongly encouraged to bring at least one item to donate to the animal shelter, such as pet food, litter, old blankets or towels, pet toys, etc.
This year, raffle prizes include donations by: Activision (Band Hero), Harmonix (Rock Band), Whole Foods, Rutherford Pancake House, Beauty by Nicole, Merrick Pet Care, Paradise Pet, Garden State Rollergirls, A Doghouse Bakery, Doggie Paradise and many more!
Last year alone, over $5,000 was raised in cash and pet supply donations for the Liberty Humane Society, and we hope to double that amount this year for the Passaic Animal Shelter! Please come and show your support! Besides, what’s greater than cupcakes, live music, and animals?
There are even Cupcakefest tank tops:
And a cupcake eating contest!
In non-Cupcakefest news, Sweet Avenue's June flavor of the month, which you have one more chance, this Sunday, to get, is Malted Chocolate Stout. "This bad boy has a chocolate malted stout cake with alternating dollops of malt and chocolate frosting, finished off with chocolate chips. It’s available every Wednesday and Sunday in June!"
You've got to pay close attention to keep up with all the flavors and specials going on at Sweet Avenue; they did Green Day cupcakes to celebrate Green Day on Rock Band! Follow them on FacebooK and @sweet_avenue on Twitter daily for the latest news. Like their World Cup cupcakes (going on through the tournament, call for large orders) and True Blood cupcakes.
I'll leave you with today's Magical Mystery cupcake flavor - Mimosa! "Orange champagne cake with orange marmalade filling and orange frosting."
