O.M.G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning when DJ came down to the shop to open, he noticed we had a message on the answering machine.  Not all the unusual until he listened to the message!!!!!!!!!!!  Remember a week or to ago when I jokingly posted about emailing Cupcake Wars?  Well guess what??  THEY CALLED!!!!!!  They received the following email and LOVED it.  

Hello Cupcake Wars!

I love the show Cupcake Wars and DVR it when I can't watch it. I know of a local cupcakery that would be perfect for your show!  The Crazy Cupcake in Jonesborough, TN.    

The Crazy Cupcake would be a great contender on Cupcake Wars. I have to say that I, myself, love sweets, especially cupcakes but am never really sold on cupcakes I eat from stores or bakeries. I heard about The Crazy Cupcake in Historic Jonesborough and thought it would be a cute place to visit with my mom one afternoon. We went. It was amazing. I ordered the Cinna-Monster and it was delicious! Just the right amount of cinnamon and cake combination. I took a bite and immediately melted. The cake was so good, the texture was smooth and airy, but with beautiful flavor. Since then, I have been back many times and have not yet met a cupcake I didn't love. I raved about these cupcakes so much to my cousin that she demanded I bring her some when we went to a wedding together 8 hours away! One of my favorite flavors is Choco-Latte. The frosting on that cake is smooth but with little chunks of chocolate that just melt in your mouth! I would love to see The Crazy Cupcake on your show, and honestly, I think it would be your honor to have them!

Now we have to make a 3-5 minute audition video by Monday!  I will post the video sometime tomorrow.  Tim Flannigan is  a professional videographer and he graciously offered to film us tomorrow!!
 

Better with Bacon.

At least that is what they tell me, so I added bacon {candied bacon to be exact} to our chocolate cupcake and then frosted it with a kicked up chocolate frosting and a piece of candied bacon to finish it off! I can say that this is one food that is Better with Bacon!
