Boulder, COLO -- Tee & Cakes’ inaugural Cupcake Cram was a smash hit. All 5 contestants put on a great show with impressive eating fortitude. The eager crowd quickly filled our shop and spilled out into the streets with fans climbing on any thing (including the Tee & Cakes delivery mobile) to get a glimpse into the hard-hitting cupcake eating contest.

18-year-old local talent Jimmy “Jimin Eater” Mares gave the elder statesman, Dale Boone, a scare when he hit his stride with just 2 minutes to go. Jimi Eater put back 34 pink icing cupcakes to tie Boone in the 10 minute challenge.

The tie was broken in a sudden death-style challenge where competitors had to eat 3 cupcakes as fast as possible. Boone snuffed out Jimin Eater with his experience as a long-time competitive eater demolishing 3 cupcakes in 12 seconds, leaving Jimin Eater with one still left on his plate.

The cupcake was Tee & Cakes’ famous Yellow cake topped with vanilla icing, which was tinted pink as a tribute to all our 5 male contestants. The chef did have to work overtime to prepare a bunch more cupcakes as the contest proved that these five gentlemen can really put back our delectable 3 oz cupcakes. About 3 minutes in our supply was severely dented, thinking that only Boone would break 25.

How wrong we were. Every contestant proved he can pound our delicate cakes with the best of them. Dylan Trembley, who placed 5th, still made an impression. He ate a dozen and a half -- a quantity people generally grab for a party with 18 people.

34 cupcakes, which was the number both Jimin Eater and Dale ate in 10 minutes, is roughly equivalent to 6.375 lbs of cake and icing.
