The Cupcake Challenge

By the Girls (Claudia, Ann, and Crystal)

Ann from the fabulous Your Wedding Day magazine stopped by our studio yesterday to visit our new location. Our planned simple visit ended up as a great afternoon full of positive energy, future obtainable visions, an invaluable lunch where Jen from Jen’s Cakes joined us, and then “The Cupcake Challenge.” The name speaks for itself.

After lunch, Claudia from Claudia Akers Photography, had a great idea to stop by the new Kara’s Cupcakes in Santana Row; great little simple shop with delicate looking cupcakes. Now of course being professionals and since it was the first visit for the three of us (Claudia, myself, and Ann), 3 cupcakes just wouldn’t suffice…8 sounded much better.

As we sat in Starbucks, we quickly tried to figure out the best way to split the 8 cupcakes. The only fair and logically way was for all 3 of us to try all of them. Next thing we knew the competition began. We knew they’d all be good, but we had to find the best.

The winner clearly was Carrot Cake, with chocolate velvet and meyer lemon close behind.  We had hoped to meet Kara herself to share our findings, but she unfortunately wasn’t available.  But no worries, we left her the love letter below with the results:
