Prepare to drool at Cupcake Camp Boston photos. This unbelievable event brought together lots of amateur and professional bakers with their gorgeous, sweet creations for an all-you-can-eat evening of pure sugary bliss, all for a donation to Lovin’ Spoonfuls Food Rescue. Let’s take a wander around my favorites, shall we?

 

King Arthur Flour cupcakes

King Arthur Flour was the event sponsor and had a table teeming with all sorts of delightful, fun cupcakes.

I found these coconut cupcakes with a pineapple flower, made by an amateur baker, particularly gorgeous.

At the end of the evening, after many bites of mini cupcakes, I left Cupcake Camp so impressed by the work of both the amateur and professional bakers. There was so much love and creativity in every bite, and everyone who participated should be so proud of the work they did.

But, a girl has her favorites, and at the end of the night, mine were the Mix Bakery salted caramel and the C Cups red velvet cupcakes were the two that stood out the most. As you all know, I am not one for super sweet things, and I found these cupcakes to be so balanced, the dessert that dreams are made of.

What do you get when you mix a bunch of Boston bloggers, Healthworks, Whole Foods, Joos, Mix Bakery cupcakes, and a beautiful summer evening?

A fabulous blogger picnic, of course!

The great people at Healthworks organized another fun blogger event for all of us food and fitness bloggers to get together to enjoy some healthy food and conversation. The group first met up at Healthworks for a Bosu class which I unfortunately missed due to a meeting. (But don’t worry, I did my workout at lunch, and it saved me from a horrific day. It’s amazing how even the smell of Healthworks calms me down!)

Then we grabbed bagged picnic dinners provided by Whole Foods Market and headed out to Copley Square. We learned a little bit about Whole Foods’ Health Starts Here initiative  to help people move toward a plant-strong, nutrient dense, whole food diet with healthy fats.

I dove into a delicious avocado sandwich on sprouted grain bread. It was so hearty and filling! I also had some quinoa salad with cranberries and oranges and a bowl of fruit salad, another reminder how delicious whole, real food is. It was so nice to eat in the grass, it really felt like summer!

While we were eating, Laurie and Marisa from Joos passed out samples of their fresh and vital juice. You may remember I tried this at the CRAVE Boston event awhile back and loved it. I need more veggie juice in my life! I may even be thinking about a Joos cleanse. . . stay tuned.

Some of my favorite bloggers were in attendance, We are not Martha, Healthy and Sane, The Daily Craic, Fitarella, and Crunches for Cupcakes (and lots of other wonderful bloggers, once the list is emailed I will update!).

After dinner and Joos, there was the piece de resistance, Mix Bakery Cupcakes. If you read about my Boston Wine Exchange wine tasting or about my early summer Cape trip, you will know I am a Mix Bakery devotee. I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best cupcakes I have ever had. They bring the perfect ratio of frosting to cake, and the frosting is not too sweet at all. Last night Kelly brought peanut butter cup cupcakes and naked carrot cake, no raisins or nuts, just the way I like it.

These are so perfectly flavored and high quality that 2 mini cupcakes were enough to make my sweet tooth happy without making me feel too full. I love mini cupcakes!

A summer picnic with a bunch of wonderful women eating delicious food, does it get any better? Thanks so much to Whole Foods, Joos, Mix Bakery, and of course, Judith and Hannah from Healthworks for making my day a million times better. What a great community!
