OK, lets face it. EVERYONE was a winner at IronCupcakePRO. After all, we got to sample some of the best bakery in town. But it wouldn't be an IronCupcake event unless a winner was crowned. Chris Leslie of Metal Forge Heart was the winner sculpture (above left) and the girls from Regina's Bay Bakery were the winning cupcake bakers (above center and right).



Chris created a statuesque piece that featured the trifecta of baking tools, whisk, spatula and spoon; topped with an ornate cupcake that would make any cupcaker drool.



Regina's Bay Bakery presented a spread of the most decadent chocolate cupcakes every, filled with a mousse, topped with ganache and THEN some. Everyone was talking about them and it proved true when the ballots were counted.



Second place went to the Weld Guy, Kendall Polster, and his massive cupcake. And Jennifer Goldbeck of Delicately Delicious in Cedarburg took home the 2nd place trophy for her cupcakes.



Last, but most certainly not least, were the lovely ladies from Cake Lady Designs in Bayview bringing home the third place cupcakes and redeeming the Iron Cupcake Man trophy created by artist Rory Burke (not available for photo).



THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO volunteered, baked, created, tasted, donated, enjoyed, boogied and observed all that was the first ever IronCupcakePRO competition.
