Last night, a bunch of bubbly bloggers and phantastic photographers from Seattle’s wedding and fashion industry came out to play for a pop-culture-inspired evening (okay, fine, just to drink some French 75’s and eat Jiffy Pop. Kay? Happy now?). The goal: to sift through all of the wonderful entries for last month’s Cupcake Thursday Contest and choose one very lovely winner.
Each judge received a Very Important Packet: Contest rules, cheat sheet, and her very own unique stache.

Our first venture into Jiffy Pop land. And we didn't even burn it!
None of us had ever made the classic champagne cocktail, the French 75, before. One word=sticky!
Jessica, Kim, Lily, Barbie, and Michelle learning the rules of the contest.

Kim, Lily, and Barbie oohing and aahing over images sent in by blog readers.
For some reason, in my house, you can't have a cupcake without a pink mustache. Kim, Barbie, Michelle, Jessica, Lily, and I doing our best Real Housewives of Orange County impersonations.
Entrants from all over the globe schemed, painted, baked, photographed, and edited their way to my inbox with their fantastical takes on their ideal Cupcake Thursday post for a chance to win the just-released Totally Rad Action Lightroom Presets.
Stay tuned for the BIG announcement of the grand prize winner, along with some nice eye candy provided by yourselves (my blog readers!!!). It should post at 6pm Pacific Standard Time!!!
Super special thanks to the lovely panel of ladies: Barbie Hull, Jessica Hanaumi, Lily West, Michelle Moore, and Kim Bamberg. Cheers, girls! Hope your upper lips have healed 😉
