Cupcakes for a Cause!

by Sara

Cooks Boulevard opened their doors wide for the Cupcakes on Sunday with a very exciting turnout!

Over the course of just one hour, 100 people strolled into a magnificent array and display of cupcakes. Everyone got a taste of treats after making a monetary contribution to the San Francisco Food Bank.

Priscilla, pioneer of moonbabycakes, joined us with her perfectly swirled Red Velvet, Cookies & Cream, and Chocolate Raspberry. Recently featured in Daily Candy, we were excited to have her cupcakes in attendance!

Teeny Cake, led by Michelle, brought her Sweet Tart, Berry Nice to Meet You, Southern Tradition, and Toffee Crunch. There were lots of “Mmmmm” after biting into her fun party favors on a stick in both a red velvet and mint chocolate version (think cake and frosting rolled together and dipped in chocolate!)

Upstairs, Kingdom Cake donned cupcakes with fabulous fashion appeal. Glitz and glitter topped treats including Basil Lemon Blueberry, Thai Tea, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Spicy Chocolate, and Orange Nutella. Quite the eye-popping presentation!

Lastly, the highly anticipated Mission Minis pulled out all the stops with Swiss Almond Coconut, Ruby Red Velvet, Cinnamon Horchata, and Aztec Chocolate. They were flying off the trays!

Brandon of Mission Minis gave Andrea Hart a short tutorial on his work. She tried her best to convey what she learned to other attendees. I think she sold them.Cupckes2Celebrate 034 Cupckes2Celebrate 035

Thanks Amelia for being the San Francisco Food Bank representative for the night! Cupckes2Celebrate 014
