Cupcake Wars

What do you get when you combine three siblings, cupcakes, competitiveness, and alcohol? Cupcake wars.

Apparently new to this year's "easy going dinner share contest" is an intense battle of the bakers. This has been building up over the past three weeks over facebook, and it set to climax at Nags Head when the three teams bake it out to see who has the winning cupcake ... or at least that's the plan until we get there and decide to sit on the beach all day with a frosty bevy instead.

The initial cupcake post was not associated with the beach. It was a picture of cupcakes made for my brother Jason on his birthday (pre my personal obsession with cupcakes). All I know is that they looked amazing, and they were topped with a cherry. 

Last month I started trying to spike cupcakes ... posting pictures which were immediately scrutinized by Jason (and his baker friend) and riddled with false accusations of being "fake" or "store bought." Like an idiot, I forgot he's bringing his friend, the baker that produced the amazing cherry-on-top cupcake who is certainly way above my skill level.

And now, my sister in law has upped the game with her recent posting of her filled Holy Cannoli Cupcakes.

FAKE!!!!!

I'm going to have to dig deep for this one ... or maybe I pull a revisit from last year. Just get everyone wasted on Margaritas (after the kids are in bed of course).

  1. By the way, was talking to Rock Boy yesterday (my neighbor) who declared your cupcakes: perfection. Tell that to the baker friend ;)
