A Word from Our Sponsors: COlunching.com

Frédéric de Bourguet is the man behind COlunching.com, one of our generous sponsors for Cupcake Camp Paris.  For every person that signs up online for Cupcake Camp via COlunching, Fred will match their payment as a donation to the Make a Wish, so sign up quick! Go go go!

Let’s hear what Fred, and his avowed sweet tooth, think about cupcakes...

CC: So what is your favorite pastry in Paris (or France) that’s not the cupcake (if there is one!)?

FD: Pierre Hermé macaron Mogador ... (Bakery Magnolia whoopie cookie and mini cupcakes when in NY!).

CC: Your favorite cupcake flavor?

FD: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

CC: Why?

FD: Because it is my favorite "fruit."

CC: What is more important to you, icing or the cake?

FD: The tastes have to match the looks, but the icing because it’s sweeter!

A Word from Our Sponsors: Kasia Dietz Bags

This year, yet again, Paris-based designer Kasia Dietz will be bringing a special creation as a prize for the 3^rd edition of Cupcake Camp Paris!  We thought we’d take a moment to ask Kasia a few questions about cupcakes, Cupcake Camp, and what kind of bag she’ll be donating this year!

CC: So what’s your favorite pastry in Paris?

KD: Le macaron.

CC: Your favorite cupcake flavor?

KD: Red Velvet with vanilla icing.

CC: Any particular reason why?

KD: Just the right amount of decadence.

CC: What's more important, the icing or the cake?

KD: Definitely the icing!

Cupcake Camp VIP Entry Pack with COlunching.com

This year, as a sponsor, the dining network site COlunching.com will graciously be helping raise money yet again for Cupcake Camp Paris.  By signing up on the site for the event “COCupcaking at Cupcake Camp,” participants can benefit from the VIP entry pack available for October 27th.

                                   

The best part is that for your prepayment of 12.50 €, COlunching will match your contribution, so for each VIP member 25€ will be donated to Make a Wish.

The VIP pack includes an empty cupcake box and 4 tickets you can exchange for 4 cupcakes among the hundreds available. You’ll also get 1 ticket for the raffle - winners can enter to win one of dozens of donated prizes like a walking tour led by a professional anywhere in Europe from Context Travel, a wine tasting at OCheateau, or a hand-crafted bag from Kasia Dietz.

Most importantly, you can have access to the cupcakes 30 minutes before the event opens to the public, giving you first crack at the cupcakes.  If you want to come later, there will also be a VIP express line that lets you enter immediately with your box ready to be filled. Some great perks!

Entry to Cupcake Camp Paris is free -- come on in, browse, have a drink if you'd like. If you want to eat cupcakes though or participate in the raffle, you must buy either the VIP Pack through COlunching.com or purchase a welcome pack at the door. We will be offering 2 different welcome packs inside Le Comptoir General: silver or bronze.
