What you missed at the cupcake meetup

NYC Subway Cupcakes
Originally uploaded by danivance

We had a lot of people (the most ever at our meetups!), around 50, at our cupcake picnic yesterday in Central Park. The weather was sunny and cooperative and the amazing creations were delicious and creative. I sampled a German chocolate cupcake from Buttercup, a super yummy chocolate mint cupcake, and Allison's spicy chocolate cupcakes. There were many more cupcake flavors on hand, among them mango margarita cupcakes, piña colada, rose petal, peanut butter, carrot cake, red velvet, and raspberry lemonade. We're a creative bunch!

Danielle from northern New Jersey's Sweet Avenue Bakeshop made these wonderful (and vegan!) NYC subway cupcakes, and even took this lovely photo complete with subway map beneath. Sign up to be part of our Meetup group and you'll get reminders about our events. The upcoming ones this summer are July 7th's Cupcake Arts and Crafts Day and August 18th's Delicious Sandwich Social.
