Cupcake Conference Summer Social




Last week I had the chance to attend the Cupcake Conference Summer social at the Grand America. The Grand America had us set up in the Presidential suite.

The view from our window
23rd floor

Our room over looked the courtyard

I went with Julie. Brittany.Kelli

We met Grand America's Pastry chef Fernanda Dutra in the pastry kitchen.
She spoke to us about the kitchen and her passion for baking.

Then we got a chance to decorate our own cupcakes for a little competition.

Kelli wasn't happy with her first attempt so she just licked the frosting off and started over.

Here are 2 of the 3 judges with their picks

Fernanda Dutra. Scott Duehlmeier

Back in our room we had cupcakes waiting for us.
They even had gluten free cupcakes for those with Celiac disease.


They also had a fun raffle.


Brittany even won an awesome cupcake bedazzled Snuggie.

By the end of the night we had eaten our fill of cupcakes.
Thanks for the fun night!


The Fall cupcake Conference will be announced soon.

So THAT was who won the other Snuggie! :) That was the hot commodity of the night, but I was satisfied with the amount of cupcakes available for the partaking. :) Was fun to see you that night.

I am so bummed that I had to miss it! And I had a ticket too (then in laws came to town and ruined it all). There had better be another one! That courtyard and view look amazing!

I think the fact that makes cupcakes so delicious is not due to its sweetness but the toppings and decorations make it irresistible. I liked all the captures of the cupcake.
