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:

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!

What a great event! I wish I could have been there in person but at least I got a taste of it here (no pun intended). I can't get over the cupcake mosaic. It's amazing what you can make out of all sorts of things, obviously even food. I didn't know what to expect but it looks like it came out wonderfully. The cookie mosic was beautiful as well and what a unusual piece of art. Art you can eat! Did you end up eating that one to? Not only that but there was a poetry reading as well, sounds like a wonderfully busy evening. I look forward to seeing what else you've been up to.
