Ybor Saturday Market Annual Cupcake Festival

Recently, I got the opportunity to visit and write about the Ybor Saturday Market Annual Cupcake Festival for CakeSpy, a huge baking blog!

Here's a sweet sample of the post:

Ybor Saturday Market Annual Cupcake Festival 
Saturday, October 18th, 10:00am – 3:00pm



Since I moved to Tampa, I have been looking forward to this day. As a cupcake enthusiast, I have been searching for a festival that honors the glory that is the cupcake. After returning to the U.S. from Uganda, I did a great deal of research, looking for festivals or special days for cupcakes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very successful…until I looked in Tampa.



Every Saturday, the city of Ybor hosts a Saturday market. Most Saturdays it a market where individuals promote their small businesses by selling items. There is also a fresh produce market and various food stalls. Once a year, in the fall, there is a special themed Saturday Market especially devoted to cupcakes. On this day, cupcake bakeries from all over the Tampa Bay area are welcome to show off their best and most delicious treats.

This year amateur bakeries were also encouraged to join in the festivities, including a cupcake competition. Bakers were judged on presentation as well as taste.
