Comment: This isn't the actual Breakfast Cake, but it is a good representation. It was a buttermilk cupcake with bits of bacon, topped with maple syrup frosting and more bacon bits. I actually took one home and had for breakfast the next morning. Yum!

08: Little Penguin

31: Lucky Charm (pistachio)

Comment: There was no way I was going to like a pistachio cupcake. Polkatots proved me wrong...it was great! Also found out that Polkatots specializes in cupcake cakes. (Sadly, their cupcakes were gone before I got a picture) Last year they won 1st place for Best Original and Best Overall cupcake at the LA Cupcake Challenge.

 

Renaissance Hollywood Hotel
32: Maple and Bacon
Comment: I'm assuming these cupcakes are made by the restaurant at the hotel where the event was held. Nothing special.

 

Southern Girl Delights

09: Red Velvet

Comment: These two cupcake flavors reminded me of my favorite soaps. I've never had cupcakes with rose petal and lavender before.

  

 

One of the most fun parts of the day was getting to meet some of my blog readers. At first I was surprised that anyone recognized me, then we became instant friends as we shared our love for cupcakes.

 
I made an effort to talk to all of the owners. I loved seeing how passionate each of them were about their cupcakes. It's that kind of passion that will push owners to create amazing cupcakes.
