Recap 2013/Bilan 2013 de Cupcake Camp Paris IV

It was a bright and blustery day when Cupcake Camp Paris rolled back into town for its 4^th 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).

Last Call for Sponsors!

Cupcake Camp Paris 4 is coming up this November! Check back soon for baker registration and info on the contests – if you want to participate in them! Otherwise, prepare to bake, prepare to come consume cupcakes, and prepare to have an amazing time!

Cupcake Camp Paris IV !!!

It’s that time of the year again! While the summer is heating up, we’re working on bringing you the fourth (YES, 4^th!) edition of our favorite charity event, Cupcake Camp Paris.

Last year’s event was a huge success and we are so grateful for the support that everyone has brought out to help our cause, the Make a Wish Foundation France. This year we are looking to raise even more money to help make French children’s dreams come true.

To do that, we need help yet again. This 100% non-profit event is looking for sponsors, gift-donations, bakers (anyone can join!) and of course volunteers to help make the day go as smoothly as possible. Let us know if you’re interested in helping us.

And most importantly, we need a venue. We are incredibly grateful for the support that Le Comptoir Général has given us over these past two years, but because of the amount of people who showed up last year, we need to think bigger.

If you have a space or an idea of a space that might work to help welcome all of our cupcake bakers and buyers, do let us know in the comments or send us an email at cupcakecampparis@yahoo.com.

We’re looking to fix a date in November one we have a venue settled, so stay tuned!
Bisous,
Cat and Bryan
