Meet Corrine Gottlieb, One of our 2014 Cupcake Camp Charleston Judges

Corinne Gottlieb has been involved in baking throughout her life, beginning at the age of eight.  At age ten she weaned off of Betty Crocker cake mixes and taught her mom how to bake from scratch! While living in the San Francisco Bay area for several years, she was exposed to a diversity of cuisines which influenced her repertoire of cakes, cookies, whoopee pies, homemade buttercream and other specialties.  Her friends and family have enjoyed endless kinds of baked goods. Now a Charleston resident, Corinne recently served as a judge at the Bee's Ferry Recreation Center chili cook-off. 

 

Corinne's family always encouraged creativity of every sort, and baking has always been there for her. At present, she is currently developing a cookbook and raising her two children.

Meet One of Our 2014 Cupcake Camp Judges, Tara Baker!

America truly is home to some of the most delicious comfort foods, including none other than the delightful cupcake. Cupcakes weren't my main reason for moving here from England, but I'm sure glad I made the migration from across the pond! Red velvet, pumpkin spice, key lime, I can't get enough of those delicious mini cakes of flavor! I began baking at the tender young age of 3 years old. Baking cheddar scones with my mum in the kitchen was my all-time favorite thing to do and by 6, I had perfected the cheese to scone ratio. Under the careful supervision of my mother, it was an easy and natural progression to move on to things like sponge cake, shortbread, muffins and meringue.

As a fundraising consultant for Blackbaud, traveling is a big part of my job and the first thing on my list when prepping for a trip is checking for a local cupcake store in the city I'll be visiting. My job involves working closely with non-profit companies from all over the country and their passion for what they do makes my days very rewarding. Before my career at Blackbaud, I dabbled in my own cupcake business in which I baked natural organic vegan cupcakes for my friends and coworkers for birthdays and other celebrations. I hope to reignite that business in a few years as it’s truly such a huge passion of mine.

Outside of work, and baking delicious cupcakes of my own of course, I spend most of my time at home on Daniel Island with my boyfriend and our super fluffy and ferocious Maine Coon cat Pudding. My favorite way to spend the weekends and evenings are indulging in my inner Foodie and exploring the local restaurants of Charleston, cooking, reading a good book on the porch and good old fashioned retail therapy on King street.

Please help us find bakers by spreading the word for us and let them know it's for a good cause, SC Youth Advocate Program (www.scyap.com). They can register under the bakers tab or email us. Deadline to register as a baker is the Friday before the event, 11/8/13.

We will have posters/postcards ready for distribution soon, too. Look out for them in local coffee shops and businesses.  If you would like to help us promote them by posting them up in your office or business, email us at cupcakecampcharleston@gmail.com and we will gladly give you some.

Hello!

Cupcake Camp Charleston is in its fourth year and is coming to The Alley in Charleston on November 10, 2013, 3-5 pm. We are looking for Sponsors and Bakers!

Cupcake Camp is a FREE foodie event for people to share and eat cupcakes in an open environment.  Originating in San Francisco, Cupcake Camp promotes a true spirit of community and sharing, and happen all over the world! The most essential feature of a Cupcake Camp is that it brings together people to share their love of cupcakes!

While we have fun in celebrating cupcakes, community and creativity, we also believe in giving back to local charities. This year Cupcake Camp Charleston’s charity is South Carolina Youth Advocate Program. All monetary donations will benefit the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (www.scyap.com).

If you and/or your company loves the idea, have friends or fellow foodies who love to bake and want to help out a great cause, check out our Sponsor packages or supplies list at www.cupcakecampcharleston.blogspot.com. We are looking for prizes (gift cards/certificates, movie passes, baking supplies, free tickets, free books, etc.) and supplies (gloves, paper plates, napkins, forks and cupcakes). Let's work together, just ask!  Deadline to become a sponsor is October 15, 2013. Deadline to register as a Baker is Friday, November 8, 2013 (register at http://cupcakecampcharleston.blogspot.com/p/bakers.html). 

Thank you for your time,

Heather MacKey

Feel free to forward to everyone you know!
