OK, I hereby challenge the twitterverse to a cupcake contest … who’s in?!
– Tweeted on 7/26/09 by @HbgFoodandWine
One day on Twitter, @HbgFoodandWine‘s friend, @jbairy, was tweeting about some yummy cupcakes that she was eating. Mutual tweep, @bostella, chimed in and soon started bragging about how he could bake better cupcakes than the both of them. @HbgFoodandWine smelled a challenge, and the seed was planted for a local cupcake competition.
After some twelp on names for the event, the twitterverse voted in @KatyHaltertop‘s suggestion of “The Cupcake Cup.” That’s how the first-ever Harrisburg Cupcake Cup was born in 2009. The 2010 Harrisburg Cupcake Cup was the second annual community cupcake contest and tasting event to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.
Erica Streisfeld (@HbgFoodandWine), the event founder and organizer, welcomes both cupcake contestants and fans to the next Harrisburg Cupcake Cup in October 2011!
