Very cool news - CupcakeCamp LA, which takes place this Saturday, November 20th - I'll be there wearing a magenta t-shirt that says Cupcake on it! - has received a proclamation from the City of Los Angeles. I'm pasting the official text below, via CupcakeCamp LA. Looking forward to meeting many, many cupcake lovers. See you there! If you can't find me, email cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com - I'm especially eager to talk to and photograph/film local cupcake makers and bloggers.
