Five Contestants from all walks of life will come together tonight to stuff their faces with San Luis Obispo’s favorite indulgent treat, Amy Bakes Cupcakes.
The Cupcake Challenge will be held at 7 p.m. at Granada Bistro, 1126 Morro St, San Luis Obispo. The event is held during Farmers Market ensuring plenty of space for spectators to watch these brave souls gorge themselves on Amy’s delicious and decadent baked goods.
Amy O’Kane, owner of Amy Bakes Cupcakes and provider of the contest’s delicious edible art will be the official timekeeper for the event!
As usual, this eating contest sounds sort of gluttonous; the challenge is to consume 12 cupcakes of all different flavors and fashions in less than six minutes.
The rules are strict and unforgiving; Must eat all cake, frosting, and any edible art toppings on cake. Winner must have no traces of frosting or cupcake on fingers or face.
Meet the Contestants:
Challenger #1- Victoria Kromhout. Age 35. We call her ‘The Hammer’ at Granada, because the woman rules with an iron fist. Loud, feisty, and one hell of a booty shaker.
Challenger #2- Larry Nash aka Chocolate Thunder Buns. Age 43. When he is not relieving Granada of our day-old cupcake’s he is training in Juizitzu, driving race cars and dancin’ the stanky leg in clubs across the county.
Challenger #3- Karlyn Age 8 With a face like that, she manages to sweet talk her way into a cupcake a day without opening her mouth. And being 1 of 3 kids, she can eat sweets at lightening speed.
Challenger #4- Luke Age 2. He is the OG cupcake king. If there is a cupcake in sight, he is reaching for it.
The winner gets bragging rights, a gift certificate to Granada Bistro, and a cupcake
trophy! Though the contestants may not be professional gluttons, they’re still taking it seriously.
Sign up for Granada’s Facebook page to hear the contestants sound off on their training, competitors, and thoughts on cupcakes!
Granada Bistro and Lounge is open daily from 11:30am – 11pm. Featuring an eclectic menu of imported wines, exceptional beers on draft, artisan cheeses, tapas and delicious panino made with local and organic ingredients.
