SXSW Event @ Stubbs

Stubbs is one of the best venues for SXSW so I was super excited when C3 Presents hired us to set up a Cupcake Bar for their party. We brought in 400 Mini Cupcakes with several different toppings to customize the cupcakes.

The crowd loved giving their cuppies a "Slam Dunk" into the different candy bowls. His expression says it all...gotta Love L's Cupcakes!

The flight consisted of 3 glasses of wine and 3 bite size cupcakes 

1) Daniel Gehrs Gweurztraminer "08 - Monterey, California paired with a Mexican vanilla cupcake with  Mexican vanilla buttercream (this was a fun new flavor for us and a keeper! but where can I re-up on Mexican Vanilla in Austin?!)

2) Tenuta Maggiore 'Sentito' Cortese '07 - Lombardy, Italy paired with Lemon Zest cupcake topped with lemon buttercream

3) Ercavio Tempranillo Roble '07 - La Mancha, Spain paired with Chocolate cupcake with rich Giradelli Chocolate buttercream
