“We are so excited to be in our third year of the Inland Empire Cupcake Fair ‘Cupcakes for a Cause.’ The response from the community has been very encouraging,” said Su Pak event creator and founder of IEShineOn.com. “The Inland Empire Good Time Guide,” a lifestyle website sharing Inland Empire events, culture, attractions and things to do.
This year, the fair has expanded to include a baking expo. In previous years, the goodies focused on cupcakes.
“We decided to add a baking expo element to draw in all facets of baking and dessert enthusiasts, in addition to cupcake enthusiasts. We look forward to seeing more cookies, macarons, cake pops, and more at this year’s fair. It’s going to be our best event yet!”
The event will be adding three new features that include, decorating contests, live demos, and cupcake eating contests. The tasting competition will remain focused on cupcakes only. Categories include Professional and Amateur Best Overall Cupcake and Most Unique Cupcake. The Most Popular Vote will include all baked goods and desserts at the event and voted by event guests.
This year, proceeds from the Inland Empire Cupcake Fair & Baking Expo will benefit Epilepsy Education Everywhere - a local non-profit organization whose goal is to educate the public about epilepsy and provide resources for those living with epilepsy.
