The Cupcake Craze.
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 03:00PM For the last five months, I've been competing in Chicago's Iron Cupcake Challenge; and with the exception of the very first event - I've been a winner.
July, Battle Tropical Fruits - Winner, Best Presentation for Chocolate Passionfruit Cupcakes
August, Battle Savory - Winner, Best Presentation & Best Tasting for Pumpkin Sage Ravioli Cupcakes
September, Battle Candy - Winner, Best Presentation for Candy Dot Cupcakes
October, Battle Fall Flavors - Winner, Best Presentation for Apple Cider and Doughnut Cupcakes
Whew!
The challenges are always fun to compete in, and really tests my skills in creating something new and unique; but not going so overboard with creativity that it freaks people out. Next month, the challenge has been announced as "dessert-style" cupcakes - which means it's pretty much wide open! Creme brulee, black forest cake, tiramisu, peach cobbler...pretty much anything that's a dessert that can be somehow transformed into a cupcake!
I look forward to the challenge, and hopefully will come home with a sixth win!!!
