Breeders' Cup reveals official cupcake

The official Breeders' Cupcake (Courtesy of Breeders' Cup) The Breeders' Cup announced Thursday its very own sweet treat: the Breeders' Cupcake, created exclusively by Cake Flour, a Louisville, Kentucky, natural and organic bakery. The Breeders' Cupcake is a combination of chocolate cake with a bourbon and caramel swirl, then topped with purple buttercream icing and adorned with gold flakes and a gold leaf, representing the official colors of Breeders' Cup. "We wanted to create a fun and delicious treat for the Breeders' Cup and are thrilled with what Cake Flour has created," said Peter Rotondo, vice president of Media and Entertainment for Breeders' Cup. "We're also excited to give back to the Louisville community by donating $1 from every Breeders' Cupcake sold to our partner, the Robby Albarado Foundation." The Breeders' Cupcake will be unveiled on Tuesday at Cake Flour bakery. Professional jockey Robby Albarado will attend the kick-off event which will take place at 9 a.m. (EDT). Cupcakes may be purchased individually for $3.75 or by the dozen for $40. One dollar from each cupcake sold will be donated to the Robby Albarado Foundation; the Breeders' Cup will make a matching donation connected to the sales of the cupcakes.

"We are thrilled that the Breeders' Cup has selected our Foundation as the beneficiary of the new Breeders' Cupcake," said Albarado, founder of the Robby Albarado Foundation. "This is just another example of the Breeders' Cup's commitment to our community, and we are very excited to have the privilege of partnering with them and Cake Flour."

The Robby Albarado Foundation was established by professional Albarado in an effort to give back to the Louisville community by improving and enriching the lives of young people through personal involvement, volunteerism and financial support.

"I think it's great," said Cake Flour owner Claudia Delatorre, who says she's honored Breeders' Cup selected her bakery. "I wasn't expecting it. I wasn't expecting them to come to me. It's great to be a part of the community and to be able to do all these fun things that bring awareness to non-profits, and if cupcakes can assist in that, that's awesome. We wanted to keep with the whole Kentucky theme. We definitely wanted to include something native of here."

The Breeders' Cupcake will go on sale at Cake Flour at 909 E. Market St., Suite 100, Louisville, Ky. during the week of October 25. They will also be available at some Breeders' Cup events, occurring November 5-6 at Churchill Downs.

Cake Flour is an all natural baking company adding quality alternatives to processed food. Breeders' Cupcakes may also be ordered by calling 502-719-0172, and the recipe is online at www.breederscupcake.com.
