Tasty frosting on top of even tastier cupcakes is just one of the many ways to help find a cure for cancer.




"Cupcakes for a Cure" kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness month for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Local bakeries competed for the honor of best cupcake in town, and while the cupcakes are a tasty treat, those who benefit from the organization the most say there's nothing sweeter than the support they receive.
"You get on the Internet and you see a lot of negative and not so great stats," Komen recipient Michelle Bynum said. "But if you turn the computer off, and see the folks that surround Komen, and the hope in people living and living well, not just alive, but not just breathing, but really, really living and eating life with a big spoon."
The annual Race for the Cure will be held Nov. 1 at the Domain in North Austin.
