We, at The Cupcake Bar, are proud to announce our newest Event Planner, Rachel! Rachel has been with The Cupcake Bar, since we started back in April of 2008 and we are so lucky to have her move into this role of working with all of our great customers and events. If you have been to one of our events, you have probably worked with, or seen her. She always has a smile on her face! ;)

Aside from loving cupcakes, Rachel enjoys her free time riding her bike, teaching fitness classes, and enjoying Longhorn football. She graduated in May with a BS in Communications from The University of Texas and is excited to pursue her career in event planning. If you have booked an event with us, I am sure you have had the joy of working with Rachel! Please welcome her to the team! :)

Here at The Cupcake Bar we are gearing up for Cupcake Smackdown 2.0 this Saturday. Last year was the debut of the event and it turned out to be such a big hit that they decided to do it again! We were proud to be awarded Best Catered Baker's Choice and Best Overall Baker's Choice with our Tres Leches cupcake with whipped cream icing and toasted coconut topping.

This year will be even bigger and better and will take place this Saturday August 21st from 11:30am-3:00pm at Le Cordon Bleu in the Domain. There has been talk about breaking world records and even having a cupcake canon (sponsored by yours truly!). We will also be selling our Cupcake Bar T-shirts there for $15!! Check out the website for more details and come out to taste some of your favorite cupcakes!

Come support us at the Smackdown! Admission is free but remember to bring cash for food vendors and other treats!
