Cupcake Camp London 2010

The first ever Cupcake Camp London 2010 was a huge success. The event raised over £4,000 for the North London Hospice. It was an amazing day of cupcakes, music and prizes. The event was very well organised and I can't wait for next year's event. I took quite a few photos so this is a bit of a long post but you can drool over all the delicious looking cakes. Sadly I could only try a few although I would have loved to have tried them all. I'm sure the judges had a hard time sampling everything and deciding on the winners. Congratulations to all the winners! 


Daisy the organiser who did a fantastic job. 


cakes that were donated for the event and there were thousands of them!! 



I tried one of these and they were amazing! It's so cute - cupcake in a jar. They were extremely popular. 





I got to try one of these as well and they were to die for. It was dark chocolate and salted caramel with chocolate ganache.

Oh and I won a prize at the tombola! I was so excited as I never win anything and I got to choose my own prize. There was a good selection of prizes and I wanted them all but finally chose this book on whoopie pies as I've never made them before and they are all the rage now. Watch out for some whoopie pies coming up :) 

I will be posting recipes of my entries soon so check back later. Hope everyone had a spooky and fang-tastic Halloween :)
