Cupcake Wars!

After finally getting to
participate in our very own cupcake wars, I learned that I really love
decorating the cupcakes! I have always watched the TV show Cupcake Wars and
been intrigued by it. Actually being able to participate in such a competition
was a great experience. I have always found the flavors and taste interesting
but the presentation of the cupcakes even more fascinating. I’ll admit that I
do judge books by their covers at times, and food is no different. After this
competition I realized how much food is impacted by how it looks. It’s not
enough to just have good tasting food; part of what I love about going out to
eat is the presentation. The food always looks so good that I don’t even want
to eat it!
Through the cupcake war process, I
learned different ways to decorate and enhance the presentation of the cupcakes.
One of our cupcakes was a snickers cupcake and while I liked the taste, my
favorite cupcake of ours was the pinna colada one. This was our first cupcake
and had the best presentation of all of our three. We put the cupcake in a
margarita class and actually won second place for the presentation! From this
whole process I learned how fun it is to be creative with what you eat and
enhance not only the inside, but the outside as well.
