Cupcake Tour

The 2005 INTERNATIONAL Cupcake Tour with special guest correspondent, Andrea.
First stop: Sugar Sweet Sunshine

and Magnolia Bakery
Between October and December 2005 For the rest of our lives, we'll sample the cupcakes from each of the locations above and report back to you (with photographic documentary evidence and crumbs included!). In the end, we'll declare a Winner. Many will be eaten. Only one (or two) will Win.
[Never say I don't make sacrifices for you]
YOU too can join the Cupcake Squad & the 2005 Cupcake tour in your city! E-mail me to join us and help spread the frosting! I'll post the final results here (and links to all participants blogs).
To participate:
1. Test as many cupcakes as you can
2. Take pictures
3. be sure to include name/address/web url whatever of the cupcake places so we can track them down when we come to your city
4. Record your results
5. Declare one cupcake the Winner!

Hmmm. I could try it for San Francisco, thouigh I must admit I've never thought about where to get cupcakes before! (See how educational blogging can be?) Don't have a digital camera, but I can still try and get some photos.

Oh, you must! If you take some pics with a disposable camera, I am happy to scan them for you.
Its ALWAYS important to know where you can get the best cupcake in your city!

Tessaj, Citizen Cake (in SF) has superb cupcakes.
Beth, I'd like to participate from Seattle. Although I already have a favorite cupcake spot but I'll attempt to keep an open mind.

I can also get pics developed on a cd; don't think that's too difficult (not really a techie person...it took me days to figure out how to post a pic on teejsmuse!)
Will try Citizen Cake and also Just Desserts; I'm sure finding many more (I mean, MANY more) won't be too tough :)

Okay, I'm officially in, too! (Have spent way too much time looking up bakeries on-line without actually eating....)
Found this for you, beth:

I have some folks who would like to try this...we could do Washington, D.C. and maybe Baltimore if you don't get someone for that area.
this is such a cool idea...
Posted by: Cupcake Queen | Tuesday, October 04, 2005 at 05:09 PM
I'm in Baltimore.
Posted by: Rachel | Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 08:09 PM
lovely idea!
as a fellow NYC resident, i might add amy's bread, joe (hopefully you can snag an amy sedaris cupcake), and 'wichcraft to that list of deliciousness.

I MUST join this :) I am obsessed with cupcakes.
Posted by: Jen | Friday, March 31, 2006 at 12:31 PM
I love the cupcakes at Crumbs on Amsterdam on the upper west side and the Kitchenette down in the financial district in nyc. The cupcakes at the Cupcake Cafe are beautiful but a little sickening and I love the ambience of Magnolia and how you get to pick out your own and put it in your own little box. Now I live in Tampa and haven't found a decent cupcake yet.

These truly are the BEST tasting cupcakes that I have ever had. Very moist and fluffy, the frosting was perfect. Every thing about happy cakes is classy, from the delicious cupcakes to the very cute logo. They make everyone else look like amateurs. I can not wait till they open the store front, they are well on there way to becoming Denver's favriote!
