  • What is CupcakeCamp?

    What is this anyway?

    The facts, as requested by @rudedoodle

    CupcakeCamp is:

    • A get together for those who like cupcakes
    • You can come along just to taste, or you can buy or bake your own cupcakes to share.
    • You eat and enjoy the atmosphere.
    • The event takes place over the course of an afternoon.
    • You can decide if you want to enter your cupcakes in the competition.
    • We will try to have free coffee, drinks and lunch on the day.

    How does this work? (the nitty gritty)

    Okay, so the concept is unfamiliar. So, we’ve got some ground rules.

    (this mainly applies to people bringing cupcakes, but please feel free to just show up and enjoy eating them too!)

    • This is an event for cupcake lovers, so you can:
      - buy cupcakes to bring
      - bake cupcakes to bring
      - just eat cupcakes

      1. No limit on how many cupcakes you can bring!

      2. You need to have your cupcakes (how much and what type) registered - otherwise we will have to do the unthinkable and reject your precious cupcakes (o noes!)

      3. People bringing cupcakes should bring them to the venue early enough to make sure you’re set up all pretty on the day of (if possible)

      4. In true BarCamp style, we will have 20 min. timeslot schedules for tasting different types of cupcakes. The schedule will be posted the day of.

      5. Be prepared to take leftover cupcakes home. Organisers can take *some* of your cupcakes off your hands and distribute them amongst the deserving but we can expect most to be gone anyway.

      6. Share your recipes!

      7. We will have a Best in show competition! Judges will volunteer soon. Categories for best in show: Best Seasonal Cupcake, Best Decorated, and Most Unique Ingredients (try to be more creative than just chocolate (we <3 chocolate, but we want other types as well!)
