The steaks are high.

Well, I was too late to make a cupcake for the first Iron Cupcake Earth Challenge, but I knew I would be. I checked out the entries and realized the steaks are high. A nice picture is a big part of this contest and my cupcakes, while the tastiest in the land, aren't always the prettiest. I am just not that skilled or patient to decorate them well. Oh well, I can't wait to see what the next challenge will be.

I did cast my vote for the chili challenge though at http://mkecupcakequeen.blogspot.com/
I chose "Chica Chocolatina, I" because my initial thoughts for a chili cupcake lead to something dark and chocolately.

Get Ready...Here I Come

Well, I have started this blog for the sole purpose of entering the Iron Cupcake Earth Challenges. For those not in the know, Iron Cupcake Earth is an online cupcake challenge. A strange ingredient is assigned and then bakers are given 4 weeks to create their cupcake and document their creation via their blog. So, here I am. I have little interest in blogging, but a lot of interest in making some kick ass cupcakes.
