It was a
bright and blustery day when Cupcake Camp Paris rolled back into town for its 4th
edition. Inside Café A, the air was
filled with scents of chocolate, rose, fleur d’oranger, peanut butter and much
more as the bakers showed off their wares.
We are grateful to the 60+ bakers, both professionals and amateurs, who
supported the event this year – they baked over 1800 cupcakes and helped us
raise around 4,400 euros for the charity Make a Wish France. Their creations were both tasty and
beautiful. We couldn’t help but notice the look of contentment on the faces of
many attendees who indulged in their purchases while walking around taking it
all in.
We were
delighted to see so many familiar faces – both bakers and attendees -- many of
whom have been present for the 4 consecutive editions of Cupcake Camp
Paris!
This year,
bakers had the choice of 4 different contests to compete in. By 2PM, when the contests started, the tables
were filled with dozens of culinary works of art while the crowd eagerly awaited
the judges’ decisions. Congratulations
to the winners: Caroline for her Roi
Soleil cupcakes (Best Cupcake Inspired by a Famous Moment in French History),
Sofiane for his Pumpkin cupcakes (Best Autumn-Themed Cupcake), Soria for her
Istambul-inspired rose-pistachio cupcakes (Best Cupcake Made with the Most
Exotic Ingredient) and Berenice for her ginger-honey-lemon cupcakes (Best Cupcake
Made with a Root Vegetable).
