cupcake report

On Thursday, April 17, for Th3, The Third Thursday, Jen Comfort of She Takes The Cake installed an interactive cupcake mural and cookie mosaic at Delavan Art Gallery as a promotion for her cake-making services, for which we were having a free drawing to win. The event was a delicious success! With an approximate 90 people attending throughout the evening, all 108 cupcakes were gone by the end of the night and I think that's proof of how good they tasted! For those of you who couldn't be there (aka "little one"), here's what the night looked like:

Jen Comfort of She Takes The Cake stands by her creation


Melanie, Gallery Assistant and current intern at Delavan Art Gallery, happily takes the first cupcake as lights flash and cameras record...


Students from SUNY Oswego found the cupcakes irresistible


the meandering crowd


In addition to the cupcakes, writer Jennifer Pashley presented her "feelthy fiction" (as I heard it called) as part of the Stone Canoe Writers Series


Overall a great night!
