Iron Cupcake Milwaukee: Pink

Last night was the *PINK* Iron Cupcake challenge with 22 bakers showing their support in the fight to Find a Cure for Breast Cancer. These beauties were a White Cake infused with Hibiscus Tea & Citrus Zest topped with Lemon Buttercream.

There was a simple yet so cute Pink & White Cupcake: And with these "Over the Pink Moon" Cupcakes:  Some pretty Strawberry Cupcakes:And a little different take on Strawberry, Tequila Rose Cupcakes:And Pomegrante Margaritas: And must have Girls Night In with these Champagne Cupcakes: When Girls meet, must have Chocolate, like these Dark Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes:

And lets not forget Girls are made of Sugar AND SPICE with these X-Rated Cupcakes:

A Mango Cupcake infused in X-Rated Liquer topped with Buttercream.

And the taster's Winner for Taste were these "Root For The Cause" Pink Lady Apple Cupcakes topped with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing: Pink Lemonade wasn't forgotten and this was tasters choice Display winner: Many different takes and flavors on the yummy drink:Jumping in this for the first time I was happy to squeak on to the Top Board at #5 for Display with my Pinkalicious Party theme: I made Pink Velvet Cucpakes topped with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting & sprinkled with Pink Edible Glitter & White Pearls: The "Girly" front of my toppers were created for me by Laura Edwards Design, she rocks!

The charity this month was the Susan G. Komen foundation a big reason I jumped into the Challenge this month:It was a lot different being on the Baker's side of the table, pretty hectic with I think up to 300 people coming through but fun all the same!

I feel like I can exhale again now that all the planning and baking...and baking are done, lol and hope to catch up on blogs today!

Thanks for stopping by!

I need to only visit your blog when I have a full stomach. Then again, it would probably still make me drool! ;) All those yummy photos of cupcakes. What wonderfully creative designs. Your cupcakes look fabulous - Laura did a great job on the toppers! And the tribute frame is simply perfect.

What an awesome run down! So sorry I missed it! Are you going to play in October? I haven't decide yet.

oh my... those all look and sound amazing!!! what a great was to raise awareness for such a worthy cause, and have a tasty treat with the girls too! i'm going to a "pink party" this weekend, as a fund raiser for the canadian breast cancer foundation. i go every year and it's always fantastic - this year's theme is "50's sock hop" so should be interesting :) unfortunately no cupcakes will be there, but definitely chocolate and champagne!
