Allez Cuisine!!!
Monday, June 8, 2009 at 02:55PM The secret ingredient? Citrus Fruits.
The judges? The folks over at Chicago Bites.
Chicago's first ever Iron:Cupcake challenge took place on June 1 sponsored by Beautiful Cakes and Veranda; and Pastries Not Potatoes was one of over a dozen competitors with entries in the challenge.
This unique and exciting opportunity to showcase specialty cupcakes brought together both amatuer and professional bakers; and gave the public a chance to sample cupcakes. For free!!! Our offerings for June's compitition were Coconut Key Lime Pie Cupcakes and Grapefruit Ginger Cupcakes. While PNP didn't place in the Citrus competition, it was so cool to see all of the different flavor combinations that Chicago bakers came up with. The winning cupcake? A grapefruit cupcake with avocado frosting!
Iron:Cupcake was such a hit that it will be repeated once a month, with the secret flavor ingredient changing with each challenge. The next challenge will take place on July 6, and the secret ingredient has already been revealed to be tropical fruits. Pastries Not Potatoes is gearing up for the next event, and we hope to see you there!
Sweets!
