Haven't seen this posted anywhere else yet, but Gameinformer has pics of the cupcakes being delivered to Bioware:

Update: According to Gameinformer, because the reason fans sent the cupcakes wasn't to celebrate ME3, they donated them to the local Youth Shelter on behalf of their fans. Here's the quote from GI:


Community manager Chris Priestly posted the following statement on BioWare's forums:
Today, we received the 400 cupcakes you collectively sent us through your donations to express your feelings about the endings of Mass Effect 3. We want you to know; we are indeed listening to all fan response and acknowledge your feedback. We appreciate creative and thoughtful attempts like this one.
The gesture certainly gained our attention both with its creativity and deliciousness. However, while we do appreciate that fans were creative in how they expressed their views, after a lot of discussion, we decided ultimately the reason that they were sent was not done in the context of celebrating the work or accomplishment of the Mass Effect 3 team. This is a subtle, but important aspect in determining how to pass the feedback to the team.
BioWare regularly works with many deserving charities, as such it was decided that rather than passing out the cupcakes to staff or wasting good food, to donate them on behalf of our fans to a local Edmonton youth shelter. We know that for the kids that have to use this facility, something as simple as a cupcake is a rare treat and would definitely brighten up their day. Thank you to the fine folks at the local youth shelter for accepting the donation and to the fans who donated the cupcakes.
Please keep providing your feedback on Mass Effect 3, we’re still listening.

This is Art. You can't argue with the Bakers artistic integrity.

They gave them to a food shelter, rather than give them to employees.

Apparently Mr. Priestly released a statement, they're giving the cupcakes to the local youth shelter on behalf of us.

Anyone else slightly INFURIATED they managed to squeeze in a backhanded ****slap to us even while graciously accepting the cupcakes and giving them to charity?

Oh this wasn't in the spirit of celebrating the game so trollololol SERIOUSLY?! REALLY!?!

I still say the boxes should have said cupcakes on the outside, then just been empty expect for a note.

"Where did the cupcakes go? Lots of speculation!"

I've never played another game that has entertained me so much long after it's beaten.

That... is disturbing.

I'm happy they donated it to someone who truly deserves a treat such as that, but their reasoning is just abhorent.

they have no heart : (

scratch that they did donate.  Still though I guess we hurt their artistic integrity with the gesture.
