Cupcake Camp will feature over 30 stations – most are up and coming bakers/companies – so you know these people are passionate and pouring their hearts & souls into their delicious treats! There will be nutella cupcakes. Nutella! I was going to write about some of the other interesting ones I found under the “bakers” section of the website, but I started drooling too much… so check it out for yourself!

The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" cupcake from Sugar Babies Cupcakery!

There are a two different sessions to choose from: 12pm-2pm or 3pm-5pm. Advanced tickets are $15, but they’re $25 at the door. Remember, proceeds from the event  go to charity so you can even write off this cupcake excursion! You can learn more about the charities here.

Hope to see you there!

On Tuesday, November 16th, Jack in the Box will be offering 2 free classic tacos to consumers after 2pm! Find your nearest location (or 3) and head over. There is no purchase necessary to receive this offer but you are limited to 2 tacos per location. I highly recommend kidnapping a vegetarian friend and bringing them along for the ride so that you can double your taco freebies!

Stop by your nearest Coldstone to try out a free sample of their yummy 8-layer cakes. Yes, 8 layers…that’s 3 layers of ice cream, 3 layers of cake, and 2 layers of mix-ins. So get some free cake!  (Thanks Tiffany!)

The Americana’s Street Feast will be more than just food trucks though. The surrounding festivities include a DJ, raffles, and special discounts at the shops! You can also print out this handy dandy coupon for free parking!

If you’ve been following us for a while, you know we feel that Pinkberry is no Menchies…but cheap Pinkberry comes pretty close! While this is supposedly a Valentines Day offer, it is actually valid from 2/12-2/19. I suppose this is for all the pimps out there with so many Valentines and so little time…

Get your coupon here.

What’s that? You’re not satisfied!? Well in addition to all the fooding options there will be a UniqueLA marketplace with over 30 vendors ready to help you pick out a one-of-a-kind V-day gift for that special lady in your life (a.k.a. your mom), a street food themed photo booth from Oh! Snap, a DIY crafts section in case you spent all your money on food and need to make a Valentine’s card, live entertainment, and a donation based beer and Wine garden to benefit the LA Regional Foodbank.

Tickets to the Food Fest are $5 at the door and include a free drink ticket and some cool giveaways. All vendors are cash only so make sure to hit the ATM before you head down. For those of you taking eco-friendly transportation, the event is a short walk from the 7th & Fig Metro stop and there will be free bike valet.

Random banana on table not included.

Sorry for the late notice…but for the rest of today (12/10) and tomorrow (12/11) you can get yummy oatmeal for $1 at Jamba Juice! All you have to do is print out this coupon and bring it in with you!

And something tells me if you bookmark that site there will be more dollar oatmeal opportunities in the future!

Every year the Italian-American community get together to celebrate the feast day of San Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples, with a big festival and everyone’s invited! There will be live music, street performers, wine and food tasting, a cooking stage, bocce courts, and bingo. Tickets are only $5 (or free for anyone under 12) and all the proceeds go to help children and families in need around Los Angeles.

It all starts tonight with the Prima Notte Gala hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla featuring musical guests and perfomers as well as an all you can eat feast. Tickets for the opening Gala, however start at $50 so I doubt there will be any LA Decostified readers there. But if you do go, let us know how it is.

The Festival runs from 11am – 11pm Friday through Sunday on Highland Blvd. at Hawthorne street. As always, check their Website for more information.
