IC:E-PASSION We Have a Winner!

Feel like Makin' (Lavender) Love?! That should be no problem with the bouquet of winning cupcakes by Stephanie of Englewood, CO. With a combination of the the popular vote and the random draw, she was a sure thing! Her creation (one of three, actually) "A lavender and fruity olive oil cake filled with a fresh blackberry sauce and topped with lemon butter cream frosting. The cake is flavored with a little extra lemon zest. The blackberry sauce has a hint of sweet balsamic vinegar. The scent of lavender is an aphrodisiac to women, and who doesn't love getting flowers from their S.O.?" Sounds divine!

For her efforts, she will be receiving the following amazing prizes:

• The Demy™ by Key Ingredient
• Hello, Cupcake by Karen Tack & Alan Richardson
• Bella Cupcake Couture
• Cupcake Stackers by Gourmac
• The Cake Mix Doctor Returns! by Anne Byrne

Ten years ago Anne Byrn's The Cake Mix Doctor began its extraordinary run as one of the most popular baking books of all time. Now Anne Byrn is back with the all-new Cake Mix Doctor Returns! From the beloved author who showed home bakers how adding a touch of sweet butter or a dusting of cocoa powder, a dollop of vanilla yogurt or flurry of grated lemon zest could transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Here are 160 brand-new recipes—that’s right, 160 amazing cake mix recipes—for luscious layer cakes, sheet cakes, brownies, bars, cookies, and more. (US Winners Only)

Beautiful Baking Liners by Vestli House - New!

I will add all new parties once a week. In the mean time, feel free to begin your first challenge.

IronCupcake - Year Two

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a terrific summer.

With the announcement of the July challenge, it is hard to believe that IronCupcake:Earth is 1 year old. In some ways it feels like we have all been doing this forever, and in other ways it seems like just yesterday that the first cupcaker signed up. We are now approaching 400 bakers from 26 different countries. WOW! That is a lot of folks to talk to, post with and get awesome ideas from.

The first IronCupcake:Earth cookbook is in its early planning stages, and I will keep you posted as things progress. After our July challenge, IC will be taking a brief hiatus while we seek new corporate sponsors. We were very lucky to have had so many corporate participants for year one. If you know of any products or corporations that would like to get involved, please have them email me. Also, if you LOVE IronCupcake as much as I do, please pop over to the blog and donate to help keep the sweets coming. This is a completely voluntary operation that has become nearly a full-time job. Any little bit helps.

Thanks for being so sweet!
