The Cupcake Showdown People's Next Shindig: Eat Drink Pink!

​No one, not even the people who organized the recent Cupcake Showdown OC in a Fountain Valley warehouse anticipated the response it got. By showtime, block-long lines had formed for two food trucks and a bake-sale-cum-rave that brought together cupcakeries and amateur bakers sampling their wares. I was lucky enough to slip in early on. Fellow blogger Shuji was not.

The organizers are now hoping lighting strikes twice for their next event, a get-together to benefit breast cancer awareness and research they call "Eat Drink Pink!"

Though Jayne Lee was hush hush on the details, the organizer told me that she has a host of bakeries, local restaurants and food trucks who will be there serving pink-themed foods both savory and sweet. I'm sure it will include a few of the cupcakeries we saw at the last event. The participating vendors will then compete for the best pink-themed tastes in different categories. And this time, there will be alcohol.

The deets after the jump.

Though it's an all ages are welcome, for guests 21 & over, wristbands will be provided at the door upon arrival. Bars will be serving alcohol and pink cocktails.

A portion of the proceeds from EAT DRINK PINK! will be donated to breast cancer research.

This is a free event. RSVP with your email address at eatdrinkpink.com for free entrance.
