Bucks Bakers Throwdown in Cupcake Competition
FREE CUPCAKES!
Did that get your attention? Over the past few years, the once simplistic dessert has taken on a life of it’s own, with bakeries across the country transforming the bite sized treat into intricate delicacies. Shows like Food Network’s Cupcake Wars have only added fuel to the fire, showing the public that the world of cupcakes has moved way beyond vanilla.
Now, Bucks County residents can join in the fun at the first ever Cupcake Contest at Select Jewelers in Feasterville! This Saturday, May 19th, bakeries from around Bucks County- Feasterville Family Bakery, Rilling’s, What’s for Dessert, Van Earl’s Cakes, and Schenk’s Bakery- will compete in the ultimate cupcake competition. Bucks Happening’s Tina Paparone will be on hand as one of the official judges. (more…)

You can run, but can you Hog n’ Jog?
With National Ice Cream Day around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with a jog?
This year’s Jog n’ Hog lands on July 15th and for readers who do not know, it is a 4 mile run with a break halfway through for a quart of Uncle Dave’s Ice Cream. The fitness and food combination event is happening at Shady Brook Farm. Participants should be prepared to run on dirt roads. Racers are also asked to bring one non-perishable food item for the Bucks County Housing Groups Penndel Food Pantry.
Along with the main event, there is a child-friendly version of the Jog ‘n Hog for participants under the age of 13. Simply replace the 4 miles with 200 yards and the quart of ice cream with three ounces of ice cream, and you’re all set! (more…)
