It has taken nearly a year to recover from our super awesome, mega-sized Cupcake Clash, but we couldn't shut'er down without
one last hurrah. Just when you thought we had baked our last cupcake, the fine folks at
BOSWELL BOOKS have asked us to get together to bring our friends
KAREN TACK & ALAN RICHARDSON of
Hello, Cupcake! and
What's New, Cupcake? fame back to Wisconsin on the heals of the release of their January 2012 project:
CUPCAKES, COOKIES and PIE, OH MY!
Wisconsin Eye-Candy Challenge: Wisconsin is FULL of iconic landmarks and sports teams. Whether its
House on the Rock or the
Green Bay Packers, there is SO MUCH TO SEE! Utilizing all of the fun tips and techniques that Karen and Alan have taught the country, whip up a creation that portrays the look and style of a truly unique Wisconsin landmark or icon. Think candy, cookies, crusts and more to tell your story - oh, and a special challenge...NO FONDANT ALLOWED. One more thing, don't forget to make it taste good as well! Be creative, this challenge will become the ultimate Wisconsin stay-cation in one afternoon.
IronCupcake Cares! For our final competition, we will be making a donation to none other than
The Pablove Foundation. The mission of
The Pablove Foundation is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs. The Pablove Foundation is named after Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz, the son of Jo Ann Thrailkill and Jeff Castelaz and the little brother of Grady Gallagher. Pablo was six years old when he lost his valiant yearlong battle with bilateral Wilms Tumor, a rare form of childhood cancer. The reason that this foundation is so close to IronCupcake:Milwaukee is because our very own
Too Much Metal Fred is close friends with Pablo's family and has been a vital part of the success of the Pablove Foundation. What better reason than to support him. Imbued with his spirit and inspired by his strength, Pablove is dedicated to the daily, global fight against childhood cancer and the suffering that comes in its wake. Be sure to
check out the great article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the Pablove Foundation from October 10, 2011.
CELEBRITY Autographed COOKBOOK Silent Auction! In addition to our usual donation, we will also be running a silent auction of autographed celebrity cookbooks. ALL proceeds from the silent auction will also benefit the Pablove Foundation. Our list is growing everyday, but will will have titles from
Buddy Valastro, Rick Bayless, Alton Brown, John Besh, Hugh Acheson, Joanna Fluke, Jacques Torres, Andrew Zimmern and more! Stay tuned for more confirmed titles.
