On Monday, I help my friend make 'Pomegranmarnier Cosmo' cupcakes (lime cupcakes with pomegranate/cranberry, grand marnier and vodka frosting). They were delicious, I knew because we kept 'taste-testing' as we went along. They were for the Iron Cupcake competition held at the Alliance Francais in SF - more photos and info.
here - where bakers of all sorts create cupcakes based on a theme (this month's theme was ALCOHOL *wink*wink) everyone is put into groups of 4 and receive one cupcake of each kind (there were 25 entrants this month) and after tasting the cupcakes you get to rate them on taste, appearance, and creativity. As cupcake #25, there was no way we would place (by cupcake #12 it feels like too much already) - but it was fun to see how creative people could get. Margarita won, and Irish Carbomb placed, someone even attempted a Dark and Stormy (it's much better as a drink), Sex on the Beach, Sangria, the Hangover, etc. all in all a fun time.
