Did you watch this week’s fun episode of Cupcake Wars on Food Network TV? If not, you missed a lot of cupcake fun and sweet surprises.
Four cupcake teams from bakeries around the country competed to bake yummy cupcakes for a glamorous red carpet charity gala for Children Mending Hearts/Women for Women in Hollywood. Suite 106 Cupcakery was the winner! The excitement continued during the episode as the teams began by baking a single cupcake, then three cupcakes and then more….finally to make 1,000 cupcakes on a custom designed stand for their cupcakes.
Sisters Christiana and Rebecca Grammer, co-owners of Suite 106 Cupcakery in California won the July 20th episode with their sweet and touching cupcakes. With flavors reminding everyone easily of childhood tastes and memories – and sweet drawings from Christiana’s daughter making the cupcake stand artistic and creative – her cupcakes were chosen as the winner. With buttermilk cupcakes, espresso and chocolate cupcakes and other sweet treats – they easily won the judges hearts (and taste buds!)
The biggest challenge was baking 1,000 cupcakes in 2 hours. Fortunately, they had 4 additional helpers to frost and bake cupcakes and also to build the customized cupcake stand. The cupcake stand featured artwork by Christiana’s daughter. With hearts and butterflies, it easily connected with the Children Mending Hearts charity, as their symbol is a butterfly. The charity gala was held at the Peter Fonda theatre in Hollywood, California.
Their cupcakes have been eaten by celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Alyssa Milano, Jimmy Kimmel and Chad OchoCinco.
