CupcakeCamp NYC 2 - Who's in?

We're trying to get a general idea if everyone/anyone is interested in a summer CupcakeCamp. The one we are currently brainstorming is another 21+ event (it's a venue issue - all ages places are hard to come by). But, we are also thinking about an all age shindig sometime this summer too. So, tell us your thoughts/opinions/gripes/suggestions/etc. in the comments section. We are here for the cupcake lovin' New Yorkers, so tell us what you want!

CupcakeCamp NYC 2 planning under way!

Hello Cupcakers! CupcakeCamp NYC 2 is already in the planning stages for a summer event, so for those of you interested in helping out with the behind the scenes pre-event work, let me know. I know a few of you expressed interest via e-mail a while ago, but send me another note and I'll organize a meeting for us. Inspiration struck this morning in the form of my friend Adam Leir, so I've got a great theme to share with you all! Get ready - this CupcakeCamp is going to be awesome!

Bakers - are you interested in participating in a bake sale?

Hey bakers! I've been in conversations with another event organizer who would love to have a bake sale at his upcoming literary/comedy show. If you're interested and would like to sign up, e-mail me at cupcakecampnyc@gmail.com. We only need between 5 to 10 bakers who can commit to making 2 to 3 dozen cupcakes each.

And if you need an additional reason to join in the fun, Scott Adsit from 30 Rock will be the judge of the show, so come on out and get your cupcakes in front of a television star!
