Peace, Love and Cupcakes. Sounds like a simple recipe for a sweet day. This was the idea behind the Cupcake Love-In from two Valley pastry chefs and event founders, Kelly Garcia of Butter & Me and Tracy Dempsey of Tracy Dempsey Originals.
Amidst the abundance of annual culinary affairs, there was missing a celebration dedicated solely to desserts – specifically the beloved cupcake. Garcia and Dempsey envisioned such an event that would shine the light on the many talented and often overlooked bakers and pastry chefs that indulge our many sweet tooth’s every day. Honoring community and our amazing local businesses, the Cupcake Love-In celebrates the young and young at heart who savor the little things.
