You would think that we would be sick of this cupcake fad already. The trend started a few years ago when boutique bakeries in Manhattan and LA started selling (and viciously competing) gourmet cupcakes. The gals from Sex & the City took several bites – the rest is history. The trend took a while to hit Toronto, but it did and had similar effects. Lately though it seems that maybe we got sick of these sugary treats? Or did we? Over 350 strong turned out yesterday to prove that cupcakes do make the world go round. Jump for pics, and….Video!…

Yesterday, a small group of organizers arranged a cupcake unconference, CupcakeCampTO, based on a similar event that was held in San Francisco. Invitations were open to bakers who wanted to share their version of the 50 year old treat.

The turnout at Labspace was nothing short of incredible. 40 Bakers registered, and over 350 guests showed up to taste over 85 dozen cupcakes.

Video is up top, Pics below. Can’t wait for the next event.
