This is incredible! Thank you for sharing! What a creative bunch.
Well goodness, how much fun is all of this?!?!?! I have to say my pick is the sliders and fries. Too clever.
Fabulous! Thanks for posting all these great photos, except now I really want a cupcake.
That was Tracy's 3 year for the party and I am already looking forward to next year. What a great group of talented, beautiful, strong women who I am proud to call my friends.
HUGS, Cindy
How fun! Such clever ideas.
Wow they all look incredible! Loads of inspiration, right there
A bloggy friend sent me a link to your post. How much fun is this!! I love the ones that look like sliders especially. So fun!
I love looking at the pictures, though it solidifies my opinion that I will never have the creativity to compete in a cupcake competition
Still, I would love to judge one!!
Oh boy what great fun! I wish I cold attend something like this! And the cupcake inventions are incredibly creative! Yay all of you!
What a great selection of sweet and savory cupcakes. Love the brownie sliders and the margarita cupcakes.
Great idea and such amazing cupcakes too, it would be a shame to eat them!
Looks like such fun but what I have to know…do you plan to give us your winning recipe? You say salted caramel and I'm always in!
Ok, why wasn't I invited?? LOL great post!!
What a Fantastic Idea!! Great Fun!
This looks incredible! I am so jealous! I want to go to one of these! Margarita and salted caramel cupcakes for me please… amazing!
Oh my goodness!!! What a creative bunch of friends you have. These are so amazing and what fun time you must have all had. Who wouldn't want to go to this party??? Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Wow – that is the coolest most creative looking collection of cupcakes I have ever seen! How much fun you all must have had, especially getting to try them all. I wouldn't know which one to try first – I wonder what the Champagne flavored ones taste like? They are all so cool:)
Such an incredible array of colours & ideas there, congratulations to the winners
They all look delicious and original. What a fun party!
What a great time. They all look amazing but I really love those pound cake "fries."
New to your site. Love it here already. Can't wait to poke around some more.
Lots of yummy love,

I love the brownie sliders. So adorable! Obviously there were plenty of artists there. So which one won first place? And which cupcakes were yours?
@Merut: My friend Marty won first place in "Original design" with her "Buffalo Chicken Hot Wing Meatloaf Cupcakes". Mine are the "Chocolate Cupcakes with Caramel Filling, Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting and Salted Caramel". I am sure you can tell I need a lot of help with my decorating skills, but I won first price for "Best Taste".
Ahh, these look AMAZING! The sushi ones are my favorite. I wish I had fun friends who had cupcake parties like this!
Looks like great fun was had by all. Wonderful creativity!
Wow, so many cupcakes!! I love the M&M and Snickers ones.
Can anybody help me to shut my mouth?
