Vancouver’s First Cupcake Challenge

Hmmm... I like the idea, because it's connecting people, there were quite a lot of people, and socializing is the best way to improve let's say your business.

This stuff is great... I love when you post things like this.

It's a shame they never have cupcake challenges in my area!

What a great way to spend Father's day with this kind of event. I love cupcake too. A friend of mine have a cupcake tattoo as well.

1,000 people?!? Wow, impressive! Then again......who doesn't love cupcakes?

awesome post i love cupcake hmmmm

or...it shows the power of free cupcakes. Either one works.

Looks like it went well. Love cupcakes, they'll never go out of fashion

This looked pretty awesome! I'm glad your little girl got to go.
I've heard that cupcakes are on their way out on the "cool baked goods" front, but this shows that they are still going strong. I guess we'll see in the next year or so. :)

Looks like the event has a lot of fun! Between, 1000 people just from a blog post, twitter and facebook is definitely cool! It shows that everything is not only for online, but offline as well.

Cooking competitions have become widely viewed shows on tv, I'd be interested in seeing this, or judging it.

That's awesome :P

I wish I could have been there just to look at the sweet things. The sugar overload one gets at such an event if carried away must be numbing.

As for the power of social media I do agree, however, one should not underestimate the power of word of mouth. All the participants have likely done a lot of talking about the event to everyone they knew.

Also, when it comes to food there's never any lack of people who want to be around.

i love cupcake.... will consider sell it online... seriously.. :-)

Looks like a very fun event! Great stuff.

The power of social media used to promote an offline event, no wonder that print media are dying left and right hand site, SY

Wow, a cupcake challenge. I guess I better sharpen my skills and get involved.

Wonder how many people actually take part in the competition. But the 1000 turn up is really impressive.

Hello John,

its really a pain in my stomach to not have been there...its very far away from Portugal (na the trip is a bit expensive).
I would eat one or two of everything...ok i admit ...im a candy/sweet addict.

Cheers

That would be a great idea for a Local Charity Event as well... Dori

You are right about the power of social media. It has increased considerably in recent times.

I guess I should use more of it to increase my marketing efforts.

I first time hear for this kind of challenge, but there must be sweet even for losers

I didn't get a chance to go, but I did hear about the event from Miss 604's blog. I didn't get a chance to go, but my girlfriend bought some of the cupcakes and I enjoyed the cupcake that was from Frosting Cupcakery.

On a side note I thought it was interesting they were selling lip gloss in small cupcake containers. Women seem to love cute stuff.

First cupcake fest I've heard of. I bet u must have a huge sweet tooth to sample a bunch of cupcakes.
Don't forget to wear your Johnny Cupcakes shirt!
