The official site with everything you'd want to know about CupcakeCamp Charleston is cupcakecampcharleston.blogspot.com and the Facebook event for this Saturday is here and the Facebook page.
From Charleston City Paper:
Aside from gorging on the sugary smorgasbord, the main event will be the Cupcake Competition. Any cupcakes entered will be judged by three local foodies: Chef Bernd Gronert, a Trident Tech pastry instructor and owner of Rococo Baker, Akai Antia-Obong, art director at West Of newspaper and a self-trained chef, and Kristin Smith, director of sales at Aloft Charleston Hotel and a baking aficionado. Cupcakes will be judged in three categories: Most Unique Ingredients, Best Charleston Themes, and Best Decorated Cupcake, a.k.a. "Best in Show."
Plucky pastry makers better bring their A-game; Cupcake Camp will have some fierce competition. That said, ultimately MacKay says the event is strictly in good fun. "I think people just love cupcakes because you get to eat cake without guilt." Their petite size and adorable dressings make them irresistible.
Sommons has his own take on Cupcake Camp's appeal. "It's just a bunch of cupcake geeks getting together to eat free cupcakes. Maybe it will one day have the economic and cultural impact of Comic-Con, who knows. I'm just happy that in a world full of political agendas and dreary economic news people can just kick back and nosh on creative sweets — for free!"
And thanks for the shoutout, we are always thrilled to inspire people to organize cupcake events and have fun with cupcakes! As always, to organize your own CupcakeCamp or find out more about this international cupcake event phenomenon, visit www.cupcakecamp.org.
