The biggest cupcake competition in Southern California and my favorite event of the year is the LA Cupcake Challenge. All of the top cupcake bakeries have showcased their cupcakes at this event at one time or another. This year, there was not a shortage of great-tasting cupcakes. The bakers can submit one cupcake in each category of Best Tradtional and Best Original.
35 cupcakes have been eaten. The ballots have been counted. The results have been posted. Who dominated the LA Cupcake Challenge in 2011?
