On January 26th, we'll be packing our equipment, our pizazz, and 8 dozen mini cupcakes for a big ol' Vancouver cupcake throwdown like no other. Cafe Deux Soleils, a lovely little vegetarian place on Commerical Drive, has let 15 bakers come to play. The best part: proceeds will go to HAVE Culinary Training Institute, an amazing charity which supports "employment barriered" people from the downtown eastside, and helps place them in entry level jobs in restaurant kitchens around the city. Ten bucks will get you in the door, where you are seriously free to eat as many cupcakes as you can fit in your maw. You will also get a vote in the overall cupcake competition. We will bake our best little cups to the public to eat, judge, and (hopefully) enjoy.
(If you're wondering when the next recipe is going to come down the pipe, don't worry. I've got a post that will be up this week. And it's a doozy.)

I vote for the Caramel Savannah. It is a little different but somehow familiar. Good luck!
I agree about the Caramel Savannah...but maybe rename it for the day -- make it a little more topical -- How about "Divine on the Drive?" Just thinking out loud, but you know what I mean. Theresa
You know, Theresa, I was actually thinking of renaming it. I was playing with the name "Red Dawn". Kind of a place on the tea thing, and the old Patrick Swayze movie. I thought the Vancouver hipsters might like it . . . ironically? I love "Divine on the Drive"!
I don't know about the crowd...but the caramel Savannah would win me over!
