30 cupcake taste test for a 30th birthday

Lucky Jared got a wonderful birthday surprise - a 30-cupcake taste test to celebrate his 30th birthday! Cupcakes came from various Orange County, California bakeries, including Sprinkles, Wonderland, Sweet Loraines, Bristol Farms, Black Forest Bakery, and French's Bakery. Betsy, pictured below, sent us this photo and news. Very cool.

Here were all the cupcakes tested:



As for me, I love the curlicues on this one:



And the winner was...

it was BRISTOL FARMS that had the best cupcakes. They won the oreo cookie, german chocolate, raspberry, and white chocolate flavors, easily putting them over Sweet Lorraines and Sprinkles.... The best red velvet cupcake--that would be Sprinkles. And Sweet Lorraines won the best over all cupcake--their candy apple flavor--which one for the cake texture and flavor, icing texture and flavor, design, and originality--it definitely took the cake.
