I've heard a couple gals talking about the Cupcake Festival in Funk, and thought it would be a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. (Blessing #884) However, I had no idea how BIG it really is. This is their 2nd year at hosting the festival in the old school building. They sell table space (cheap) to whoever wants to particpate.
As soon as we walked in, Jillian was led over to the "kids table" by a lovely grandmotherly lady who put a cute little apron around Jillian and handed her a cupcake to decorate.
Jillian loved the "Polka-dot Circus" themed table. See those caramel corn things in the popcorn box around the clown's neck? They're caramel corn cupcakes! They also had rainbow cupcakes, sno-cone cupcakes, animal cookie cupcakes, and I can't remember what else. Almost every table was decorated with a theme. And the cupcakes were works of art. So many creative people in one building!
For a donation, you received a little tray to put 4 cupcakes in. But how does one chose just 4 cupcakes to take home?
Well, you don't.
At least we didn't.
We could also buy cupcakes from any of the vendors for anywhere from 50 cents to $1.25 a piece, which is how we ended up with more than 4. Here are the ones we didn't eat before we left. They all had fancy names and some were fancy flavors. Oh, and notice the one with the chocolate covered strawberry? Jenica picked that one. And the red velvet cupcake with the pretty white gardenia on top . . . It was AMAZING!
The cupcakes are also judged, but I'd hate to be in that group. I don't know how I'd ever choose the winners.
Jillian's art teacher from school is actually in charge of putting the Cupcake Festival together, and she would most likely have been the person to make this giant cupcake outside the building. Perfect place to pose for a picture before heading back home.
