Sunday, October 30, 33 professional bakers and chefs will compete in the 2nd Annual Cupcake Love-In at the Hotel Valley Ho.
Last year’s family-friendly charity event sold out, so this year the hotel is giving the event a bigger venue to accommodate more cupcake lovers. Co-founders Kelly Garcia and Tracy Dempsey expect this year to sell out, too.
Pen & Fork bought a pair of tickets to giveaway, so if you want to stuff your face with unlimited cupcakes and support Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), leave a comment below, telling us your favorite cupcake flavor.
We’ll randomly pick a commenter who will win two general admission tickets (because really, it’s more fun to have someone along to help you stuff your face with gobs of cupcakes).
Taste cupcakes from Urban Cookies (winner of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars) and from Tammie Coe Cakes, Posh Restaurant, Barb’s Bakery and dozens of others. Don’t worry, there will be vegan cupcakes, too, from 24 Carrots and gluten-free cupcakes as well.
Judges include local celebrity Chef Aaron May, New York Times best selling author Jenn McKinlay, author of the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Founding Editor of Cupcakes Take The Cake Blog and Wynter Holden, former Phoenix New Times Night & Day Editor (who has no idea what she’s gotten herself into).
Come out and support CASS and our local bakers and chefs. Bring the whole family because there is nothing as magical as seeing a room full of kids with pink frosting smeared on their faces.
Read the fine print and enter to win a pair of tickets:
