Photos and Editorial by Gillian Guilmant-Smith – Is it ever possible to have too much of a good thing?  Well, this premise was put to the test at Vancouver’s first Cupcake Challenge held on June 20th at the Roundhouse Community Centre.  Butter cream ruled the day as guests sampled tasty treats from local cupcakeries Bon Gateau, Big City Cupcakes, Cake Tease, Pink Sugar Cupcakery, Indulgence Desserts, Cupcake Couture and Frosting Cupcakery.  Cupcake connoisseurs were then invited to vote for their favourite, while a panel of professional writers, bakers, and food enthusiasts took on the impossible job of picking a winner.  The winner of both People’s Choice and the Judge’s Award?  Frostings Cupcakery!

The event was organized by “Follow me Foodie” Mijune Pak.  Let’s hope this becomes an annual event!
