cupcakes + cocktails event

We were so excited to be asked to participate in the Cupcakes and Cocktails fundraiser to support the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. An evening of cocktails, appetizers, a silent auction, raffle, and lots and lots of cupcakes by top local bakeries with the added bonus of a contest with several categories including People's Choice. We were elated to win not only the judge's pick for "Best Small Bakery" but we took the night's category for "People's Choice" as well!
