Cupcake Camp OC 2011: The Cupcakes

Cupcake Camp is all about the cupcakes. Couldn't be a better way to raise money for a good cause then getting together to eat lots of cupcakes! Although this year's Cupcake Camp OC had less entries, the majority were of high quality. (Sadly, last year I had to spit out a few.)

This year's event had a few familiar faces, but mostly new ones. My favorites from last year (Meringue Bake Shop, My Delight Cupcakery) did not attend this year. I don't know if this was due to poor advertising for the the event or what, but that doesn't mean there was a shortage of great cupcakes.

The Best of OC category

Best Childhood Inspiration category

Several entries from the Spirit of 9/11 category

How can you possibly choose a favorite? That's a job I don't take lightly. Results to be posted on Friday.

Charity Never Tasted Sweeter!

I attended the 2nd annual Cupcake Camp OC last Sunday and had a great time! Any time I can get together with other cupcake lovers and eat lots of cupcakes is always a success. This year's event benefitted Children of the Night, a non-profit organization that helps fight child prostitution.

This week I'll be highlighting the event, introducing you to the winners, and of course sharing my favorite cupcakes with you.

Cupcake Clothing from Hey Cupcake Threads

I love the website Hey Cupcake Threads! I want everything on it, especially this cupcake tank.

But my life isn't about me right now. I'm most excited about the baby clothing! As you know, I'm 29 weeks pregnant, only 11 weeks from seeing my baby boy. I'm pretty sure my baby will be living in onesies for the first few months. And of course I'm super picky about clothes.

But I want, no...I NEED these cupcake onesies. I think they are still boyish enough.

Cupcake Dog Toy for a Guilty Dog

The other day I was picking up dog treats at Target and spotted this cupcake dog toy.

I know my dog would love it because she loves real cupcakes too. Last night after leaving the room for about 30 seconds, I came back in to find a trail of cupcake crumbs and this guilty face...

She's almost too cute to get mad at. Looks like I need that cupcake toy.

Don't forget about my current giveaway for the 101 Gourmet Series cookbooks.
