29: Acai Jungleberry Bliss
Definitely one of the prettiest cupcakes at the event. The flowers on these cupcakes were edible, although I wouldn't advise eating them.

30: Sweet Picnic Chevre

A fig cupcake topped with goat cheese and a sliced pear. I like the flavor idea, but it just didn't work for me.

13: Pink Velvet
Nice to see a strawberry twist on a red velvet.

33: Sparkling Strawberry Champagne
More strawberry. Would have liked to see a completely different flavor.

20: Candied Sweet Potato

This cupcake won 2nd overall and was one of my top picks for the events. Sweet potato cupcake with marshmallow topping and a piece of candied bacon. The sweet and salty combo was perfect.

05: Abuelita's Chocolate Cupcake
Had a hint of Mexican chocolate. Wish it had a little more.

I like the flavor idea, but the execution didn't work for me.

03: Red Velvet
I love cake pops, but I don't know if I would consider them a cupcake. These cake pops were excellent though.

17: Peanut Butter Cup
Yum! Peanut butter and chocolate are so perfect together!
