Nostalgia Cupcakes Win DC's First Cupcake Contest

Because We (the royal "we") couldn't be there for the contest, the Cupcake Princesses...Deb and Meg (see below)...took over for the Cupcake Queen last night at the Washington Club, location of DC's First Cupcake Contest! Nostalgia Cupcakes from Annapolis won the contest!


Meanwhile, CQ was sharing a beautiful dinner with University of Maryland Pres. and Mrs. Mote and other awardees of the President's Distinguished Service Award and the President's Medal. We had such a great time that I hardly missed not being at the Cupcake Contest! Meanwhile, everyone at the dinner was asking for cupcake updates!


Everyone had a great time! The cute little skull and crossbones thinggies are from Martha Stewart!
These were the cupcakes I made for the event:

You're the One for Me Cupcake
(Vanilla Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting)

I Need You in My Life Cupcake
(Chocolate Cupcake with Vanilla Frosting)

I Love the Way You Look at Me Cupcake
(Cranberry, Apricot, Date, Walnut, Pecan, Almond Cupcake with Vanilla Rum Frosting)

It was definitely a fun day all the way around!

Thanks for all your good wishes!

Peep Family Overrun by Family Favorite Rum Cupcakes with Rum Glaze!

Take a "peep" at the Peep Family breakfast...seemingly unconcerned that their house has been over run with Rum Cupcakes...as they all...mom, dad, brother and baby...enjoy reading their Washington Post...even the dog and cat!

Cupcakes based on "Hugh Pearson's Rum Cake"...much rum!
