My neice is one of the most creative people i know...she's about 7 years old. She's very socially aware for her age. She knows not to be some "annoying first grader" and try to get her aunt and uncles to play some silly thing she would do with her friends but instead is always coming up with creative ideas to bring everyone together. She really has a gift for unity! So when i came home, knowing i love the tv show "cupcake wars, she thought we should have a cupcake wars within our family!!The cooks were Me, my oldest brother, My mother and brother's girlfriend, Julia( my neice) and my sister in law. Then the judges were my two nephews, my two bothers, and his girlfriends, and then my sister in laws grandmother. We had 2 hours to bake our cupcakes and have them on the table!
They had to judge based on taste, ingredients, and creative presentation. I made "teacup cakes". I wanted to make something that was creative and me! I love tea parties and i love funfetti so i made a funfetti cupcake with cream cheese frosting, with crushed nilla wafers on top. Then i used half of a pretzel for the handle and made a cookie to be the saucer. I tied with my mom for second~ but had so much fun baking and tasting everyones cupcakes with my family!!!
My older brother, the winner, made a vanilla bean cake with a strawberry jam and a banana cinnimon honey frosting. The best cupcake ive ever had! My mother made a pb cupcake, and My sister in law also made a pb cupcake with cookie dough in the center.
Everyones cupcakes were gorgeous!!! I def. reccomend this event for your family!! Cooking always brigns a family together!
