Iron Cupcake Exotic Challenge Results!

Last night’s challenge was a winner! 

Next to Mango Tango and Mango Lassi FingerSweets’ Chocolate Salted Licorice was the only chocolate mini on the table. With very few entries the Chocolate Salted Licorice was placed best among the Bakers and also received the Judge's Choice award presented by Devin McDavid, executive pastry chef of Quince and Cotogna restaurants.

Let’s see what turns up in next month’s alcohol challenge.

Iron Cupcake SF Challenge!

Unique, Different, and Exotic are the name of the game this month for the Iron Cupcake Challenge.

FingerSweets brings the exotic level of creativity to the public on a regular basis and this month it is the Salted Black Licorice at Miette that has taste buds salivating. FingerSweets’ spin on the Salted Black Licorice in cupcake form is Chocolate Salted Licorice.

The Chocolate Salted Licorice mini offers a chocolate licorice cake with a vanilla bean licorice frosting sprinkled with Fluer de Sel and topped with a slice of Panda licorice.

The subtle licorice flavor paired with chocolate and salt is a combination I have never experienced, have you?

Check back for the results.

Iron Cupcake SF Challenge!

Iron Cupcake SF has heated up and it’s time to sit back, relax, and refresh with this month’s citrus challenge.

FingerSweets is showcasing the complimentary blend of citrus and nuts in an Almond Orange cupcake. This mini brings together the flavors in an almond orange cake with an orange vanilla bean frosting enhanced with a tinge of Grand Mariner and decorated with toasted, crushed almonds. 

The Almond Orange mini is sure to be a refreshing treat.

Keep checking back as results will be revealed.

Iron Cupcake Brunch Challenge Results!

Breakfast for dinner, that’s how the Iron Cupcake Challenge felt tonight.

This month few bakers entered the challenge but the result was a spread covering all brunch favorites. FingerSweets’ Streusel Spice Crumb was up against some very uniquely combined flavors like Jewish Deli (smoked salmon & chive pound cupcake), Chicken & Waffles (a tasty combination so many of us have grown to love), and Salted Caramel Macchiato (Starbucks in cupcake form) that unfortunately the inspired crumb cake remained as just a side item.

Next up, the challenge is Honey!

Iron Cupcake SF Challenge

It’s Monday and Iron Cupcake SF is making the weekend feel just a wee bit longer with this month’s Brunch inspired challenge.

Who doesn’t like the taste of a sweet, cinnamon, nutty morning treat? It doesn't get better than having this tiny bit of a heaven anytime of the day. FingerSweets’ Streusel Spice Crumb will be one you can eat over and over again.

The streusel spice cake with a lightly drizzled glaze is the perfect amount of sweet to get the day started or ended.

Let’s see how this mini stands up to other brunch time favorites.
