Cupcake Wars

Not long ago Kevin, Torrin, Jordan, and I were sitting around watching Cupcake Wars on the Food Network when Torrin decided we should have a cupcake war. So this weekend we did. I bought all the trimmings and prepared the cupcakes and frosting ahead of time. When it was time to begin the competition, the judge, Kevin, informed the contestants (Torrin, Jordan, Joan, and Kimberly) that we had 1 hours to prepare 3 cupcakes that would be judged on originality and overall appearance.

Here are Jordan and Torrin planning their cupcake designs.

Not satisfied with the standard red, green, white and brown frosting, Torrin hurries to mix up her own color (purple)
Frantically preparing their cupcakes! Torrin kept yelling "I'm going to be sent home!"
She was really getting into the spirit of cupcake wars.
Kimberly working slow an steady. What she lacked in volume she made up in quality.

The aftermath. Ugh!

The Judge Kevin.

My three favorite cupcakes. Santa, polar bear, and baby bird.

This is most of the cupcakes produced. Some were eaten.

The winner, Kimberly with her walrus.
