Please add any photos you have to the Capital CupcakeCamp and the CupcakeCamp photo pool.
And, a personal note:
This CupcakeCamp would not have been possible without our dedicated crew of volunteers. They were with us from the moment we arrived at the community centre to the minute we finished mopping the floor. The spirit they brought to the event was almost as sweet as the cupcakes. The spirit of generosity, along with the cloy smell of sugar, was in the air Sunday afternoon. I’m so proud to have been a part of this wild and chaotic cupcake adventure. From the countless smiles to the folks in the long line who congratulated us instead of complaining about the long line. We all collaborated as a community to create a truly a very positive day. (And, pssst…I’m in for Capital CupcakeCamp 2.0, are you?)
