Oh So Cute Winner!

One of our own has scored a win on the Food Network's Hometown Showdown. Kimberly of Oh That's Cute Cakes answered a casting call for a Food Network Cake challenge home bakers. She was terrified at first, but quickly realized that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
After a long and drawn out casting process, she ended up being cast and spent 3 days in NYC earlier this month. There were 4 contestants and they were challenged to make a birthday cake for a 1yr old little girl, SOPHIE; the theme was Brooklyn. Kimberly tells us that "the working conditions were horrible because they had to turn the central air off because of the noise it was making and the cameras were picking up the sound.......HOT LIGHTS, CAMERAS, HOT KITCHEN, HOT FONDANT and HOT MOIST CAKE...is a disaster waiting to happen. One guy got so frustrated with the conditions and how his cake was coming along HE QUIT in the middle of the show..YES QUIT!"

Kim's final cake included everything Brooklyn in toy form....I had the bear standing as if
it was her bedroom..I even did the floor wood grain...The Brooklyn bridge, the taxi cabs, the famous Nathans hot dog, a Coney Island book, and a piggy back with a onesie on it! All of these tasty treats made Kim a FOOD NETWORK CAKE CHALLENGE WINNER!!!!!

Two for One!

Congrats to the super awesome, totally addictive Top Chef on their Best Reality Show Emmy 2010 win last night. Hooray, they knocked that snoozer, The Amazing Race, off their high horse. But lets talk about what is truly important...CHECK OUT THIS PHOTO that was on the Bravo website. TWO of THE FINEST MEN on the planet, together! Sigh...Tom Colicchio AND Christopher Meloni, be still my heart! (Oh yeah, Padma is in the shot, as well.)

Britain's Cupcake Champ!

BRITISH BAKER: David Bennett of the Sunshine Bakery in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, is the newly crowned Cupcake Champion of Great Britain 2010.
Bennett set up the business only six months ago, having worked in Michelin-starred restaurants for 17 years, five of which were under Marco Pierre White. He switched from chef to baker and has quickly found success with his winning Banana & Mango recipe, tweaked from a Passionfruit & Mango recipe that sells in his shop for £1.50. He beat over 60 professional cupcake bakers to the title.
The competition was organized by British Baker as part of its build-up to National Cupcake Week, 13-19 September. The week is sponsored by Renshaw and Chevler and supported by BFP Wholesale and Robert Dyas. Food Network UK is the media partner and will be showing highlights of the competition on the channel (Sky 262, 263+1) during National Cupcake Week. Click National Cupcake Week or see @CupcakeWeek on Twitter or our Facebook page for more.For interview with Cupcake Champion of Great Britain 2010, David Bennett, click here.

What's Cooking?!
So excited to finally be allowed to tell you this. Last week, Michael & David (above) from allrecipes.tv came to Milwaukee. Why? They came to film me, in my home, making my AJBombers Peanut Butter and Bacon cupcake! We also shot a brief video tour of Milwaukee, we had lunch at Bombers and they even filmed our ICM Tailgate challenge!
September 9th will be the DEBUT of the Milwaukee edition of What's Cooking will feature all of the fun that was had. If you have not been to their site yet, you have GOT TO check out the awesome video tour of America they are filming this summer. It was an honor to have them add Milwaukee as a part of the ride! Oh, and be sure to follow Michael on Twitter @ARWhatsCooking
