I can't believe how many cupcakes you all had to eat! I LURVE cupcakes, but am sure I would have had some difficulty as well, even though alllll of these cupcakes look so delicious! So good! And your photos look fantastic, even considering that there was a mob of crazed cupcake addicts in the room! Thanks so much for sharing the results with us!

It was so much fun! All of the cupcakeries were from the Los Angeles area and Orange County. It sounds like bacon is the hottest new cupcake ingredient, but I'm not a huge fan! Thank you!

Big Man Bakes and Southern Girl Red Velvet were two of the best red velvet cupcakes I've ever had! I also really really liked the wedding cake cupcakes. So light and spongy, almost like angel food cake cupcakes! :p Bacon sounded like a good idea to me. The problem is that bacon needs to be crispy and crunchy and when you put it on/in frosting it soaks up moisture and becomes soggy, chewy and soft. Didn't work for me... Great recap!
