Musical Cupcakes

I am a follower of the blog No One Puts Cupcake in a Corner written by the Milwaukee Cupcake Queen. Iron Cupcake Milwaukee has a monthly contest and October's theme was "Music." The rules were to create a cupcake based on a song title. Go to the web site to view the cupcake entries.

This prompted me to do some surfing through Flickr and I found some cute musical cupcakes to share.

Iron Cupcake: San Francisco

I went to San Francisco yesterday to enter the Iron Cupcake Challenge and I won! It was so much fun! Everyone involved was great and I tasted some dee-lish cupcakes. The most interesting icing was a curry/cardamon buttercream topped with a raisin garnish. Chelsea from Kingdom Cake in San Francisco organizes the event once a month and I highly recommend participating if there is an Iron Cupcake Challenge near you.

A huge thanks to Will at Leland Tea Company who hosted the event. He has an amazing selection of teas and does custom blends and packaging. I can't wait to go back!

Preparing for Iron Cupcake: San Francisco

On September 28th I will be traveling to San Francisco to participate in my first Iron Cupcake Challenge. The flavor for this month is SQUASH and the instructions state that anything in the squash family will be acceptable.

I have decided to make Pumpkin Spice cupcakes with cream cheese icing. I think these will travel well and taste great. I still have to come up with a display and decorations and I will be working on that the rest of this week. I will post pictures of the event when I return home on Tuesday the 29th. Stay tuned!

If you would like to participate, please click contact Iron Cupcake: San Francisco Challenge for more information!
