If there’s one thing that we love, it’s a bake-off! We challenged ModCloth employees to a cupcake contest last Friday, and there was no telling how freely the creative juices would flow. The friendly folks at our Pittsburgh-based Fulfillment Center, the place where your orders begin their journeys, took to their stoves to battle for confectionery victory.
Participants voted on nearly twenty submissions in two categories: cutest and tastiest. However, there could only be one — well, two — winners.
Check out more of these behind-the-scenes photos for a continued sugar fix!
Congratulations to Intake Specialist Christy, whose sushi-shaped cupcakes were claimed ‘Cutest-of-Them-All’, and Intake Specialist Marlise, whose Banana Drizzle Cupcakes gained the sought-after title of ‘Tastiest’! Runner-ups included the spring-inspired Garden of Cakes and mouth-watering Li’l’ Macs.
After this contest, we’re wondering if our FC, short for ‘Fulfillment Center,’ really stands for ‘Frosted Cupcake Heaven’!

Wow! Such creativity! You have to love cupcakes! At my wedding recently we served cupcakes in an array of flavors and colors – they were a hit!
I wonder if the purple wrappers were made using the Cricut cutter?
Wow these are so awesome. I love the little popcorn/jiffypop ones.
you just had to combine my two most favorite foods in the world-sushi and cupcakes. it’s beautiful.
