This past week we participated in the annual Taste of Rutherford food fair. What the event basically amounts to is a selection of the restaurant and food vendors in town setting up tables on the main street and giving away samples to the public. People buy tickets for admission and get to enjoy samples from lots of Rutherford eateries, Sweet Avenue included. The event drew out more people than I thought even lived in Rutherford, and we were pretty much pinned to our table the entire time.

This was our first year doing it, and thanks to some warnings that the event is a LOT more popular than we had first anticipated we were able to weather the storm and give out over a thousand mini cupcakes and finish the entire event–2 and a half hours–before running out. We had a little variety, offering mini versions of Sexy Sadie, Jet Black, Snowball, and Chocolate Sundae. We think the little miniature Sundaes looked especially cute so we made extra of those, and we certainly needed them, as they proved to be among the most popular.

It was a lot of fun and I think our cupcakes went over pretty well (we had lots people coming back for seconds… and thirds… and sevenths…), so we’re glad everyone enjoyed themselves.
