For the past two years, Austin has hosted a free event called the Cupcake Smackdown — a hardcore cupcake competition for those dedicated to celebrating these sweet treats. This year version 3.0 features ANGRY Cupcakes, complete with a Cupcake Cannon for launching! Check last year’s cannon in action:

Eat ‘em or smash ‘em; it’s all up to you.
To help plan ahead for your spending budget, here’s a list of this year’s vendors (thus far):
- Austin Cake Ball
- Chilantro BBQ
- The Cupcake Bar
- Hill Country Cupcake
- Honest Tea
- Sugar Mama’s
- Sugar Shack BBQ
New vendors are continually added to the list at the MisoHungry blog, so check their site to keep up to date on that.
So when, and where, is this shrine to sugary goodness happening? JUNE 4, 2011 from 5 to 8 PM @ Hops and Grain Brewery (507 Calles Street). Admission is FREE, though you should bring cash to buy cupcakes, t-shirts and other edibles. Be there or be sugar-deprived!
