We finally got some pictures from Sarah's cupcake competition. The competition was a lot of fun, and Sarah got second-place in the amateur division! She did a fantastic job, and was one of the few competitors who actually brought enough cupcakes for all of the people that showed up. I know because I helped frost all of them (Sarah's mom helped too).
Every participant had to have three types of cupcakes: chocolate with vanilla frosting, yellow with chocolate frosting, and a "wild card" entry. Sarah chose to do an Italian creme cake, which was a really creamy cupcake with walnuts and coconut. It was a real crowd-pleaser, and a couple of people asked Sarah is she would be willing to cater their upcoming events!
The cupcakes were delicious, but Sarah and I have sworn off of them for at least a month. We have moved on to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and cakes for the ward Halloween party, and for my birthday. Stay tuned for pictures of the upcoming culinary masterpieces.
Sarah and I had a great time at the ward Halloween party. She dressed up in a traditional outfit from Panama, and I dressed up like I do on most days. One person asked if I was Robert Plant, so I guess I'll say that's who I was.
This is Sarah's amazing cake. It took a good ten hours to build the whole thing, but it was worth it. It won first prize at the Halloween party!
The windows took the most work. We used a special type of icing called color flow icing, and it takes about 2 days to set up completely. Then we glued them to some popsicle sticks and jammed them into the cake. And Sarah says she couldn't have done it without me, but she's just being nice.
