Jen volunteered at the Professional Edition of Iron Cupcake which was held at the Milwaukee Art Museum. She is a member of the Art Museum so she gets two free tickets to all events. Since she was working the event, she gave us her two free tickets. When you get in you get two ballots, one for picking your favorite cupcake art and your favorite food cupcake. There was a bar, a coffee shop, a band, a DJ and the most beautiful cupcakes ever. There were quite a few professional cake bakers with a wonderful variety of cupcakes to sample. The tough thing was figuring out where to start.We walked from table to table just looking at how beautiful the cupcakes were decorated. Then we got a glass of wine and a plate and went back to pick out some samples to try. Before I knew it I had more cupcakes than plate. So we sat down and tried them all. It was hard to pick out a favorite since they were all so good. In the end we critiqued them for how they looked as well as taste to decide who gets our vote.
After we finished the cupcakes we went to the Warhol exhibit and enjoyed the art. It felt good to take the time to stop and check out Warhol's work in such a relaxed atmosphere. Considering Christmas is right around the corner, it felt good to be removed from the hustle bustle of the season. After the exhibit, there was free food for all attendees. Talk about a nice evening at the right price, even if we had to pay the $8 per person charge to get in, this would be worth every cent.
