Cupcake Camp in New York City
Posted in Announcements on 11/10/2008 12:53 am by Jordan SalvitOver the weekend I found out about this amazing event on the west coast: Cupcake Camp. Ariel Waldman organized the first camp this past spring in San Francisco and is in the process of organizing the second for this December. It got me thinking that although foodies gather in NYC regularly to eat out and try all the cupcake places, including Magnolia, Crumbs, Buttercup, Cupcake cafe, etc…, it would be even more fun to have a camp. Camp would be about learning different techniques, the effects of different ingredients and of course eat lots of yummy cupcake varieties.
I am not really sure how to go about this, but before I start any planning, are there any people in NYC that would be interested? If so, send me a note either via twitter or comment here. I bet I can talk to my old alma mater and see if they’d be interested in helping out. If not, there are some fun people that I graduated the pastry program with that would love this.
Although this is slightly premature, I am very excited about the idea! If you are too, let me know!

Sounds like a great idea! Form a committee and treat it like an event.

The west coast has everything cool. We could definitely use something like this in New York.
