With tonight's cupcake battle looming, we've compiled a list of the ten South Florida bakeries that are competing.

(I know that when we were looking for bakeries to invite, it would have been nice to have one handy list!)

We hope that Clean Plate Charlie readers in need of a sugar fix will give these guys -- each of whom makes stunning and unique creations --  a little retail love!!!!!!!!!!! Next time you're having a party or planning a celebration, give Betty Crocker a break and call 'em up!
