Gardiner NY Cupcake Festival 2012



Finally the day for the long awaited Gardiner Cupcake Festival came.  We missed it last year so we really wanted to make sure to make it this year.  Wright's Farm hosted it and it was a huge success.  There was so much activity to fill the festival, pony rides, live band, contests, bounce house, lots of vendors and of course CUPCAKES!  Lots, and lots of cupcakes.




Yes, Bacon...Oh my!




These elaborate animal cupcakes were by Deising's Bakery
Bunny chose the yellow chick!



Bettie's Double Decker - Cupcakery Cafe



Studio Cupcakes by Twisted Soul



My choice was Sweet Maresa's Upstate Cupcake - Sage & White Chocolate Cupcake, a cupcake after my own heart!  Sweet Maresa's cupcakes are organic, natural, vegan, using local and regional ingredients!  And most importantly, it was delicious!

  1. Looks like a great time! I went last year, they held it right in the town of Gardiner.. it was over crowded, no walking room and I paid for an over priced cupcake that I could of made better myself. So because of that I unfortunately didn't go this year.. Looks like Wrights may have done a better job :)

  2. We were wondering why they changed the location. It was a huge operation and yes Wright's Farm did a great job! Hopefully they will hold it there next year too :)

  3. What a beautiful outing and great pic! Everyone looks so proud of their work:) I especially like the animal shaped "cupcakes"! How untradional and enticing.
