According to the New York Daily News, the Duncan Hines Daytime Emmy Awards held their Cupcake Contest Cook off at a popular New York City bakery this week. Ten hopeful bakers competed for the top prize of a trip to L.A. and to have their cupcakes made (and eaten!) by their favorite daytime celebs at a red carpet party reception for the Daytime Emmys.
The cupcake cook off was held at the Cupcake Café on West 18th Street. The contestants used Duncan Hines cake mixes to create delicious cupcakes and added their own special touches.
Wondering who won? (So were we!) The lucky L.A. bound winner is Katie Rousonelos from Madison, Wisconsin. She baked and designed a yummy red velvet cupcake with a chocolate filling and vanilla frosting – with a fresh raspberry on top! Just hearing about this yummy cupcake is making our mouths water! And red velvet cupcakes sound just perfect for that red carpet for the Daytime Emmys.
What could be more perfect that an event full of your favorite daytime television stars – and cupcakes? How exciting to think that the winner’s cupcakes will be made for a special reception for the stars. This is a cupcake contester’s prize like no other. There must have been lots of entries and yummy cupcakes to compete against. But Ms. Rousonelos’ scrumptious red velvet cupcakes were chosen as the #1 cupcake and she has won this glamorous and glittery prize. We hope she has a wonderful time on that L.A. red carpet rubbing shoulders with her favorite stars, eating her cupcakes!
We’re sure there will be lots of red carpet glamour and excitement in store as Ms. Rousonelos heads to L.A. to see the Emmys and enjoy her cupcakes at the special star-studded reception event. Congratulations to all of the entries and to the winner!
