Cake Lab Creations
As much fun as it is to decorate and dazzle up an edible piece of art, I thoroughly enjoy the whole baking process= minus the clean up. I love the whole concept of being able to experiment with fun flavours and combine unique ingredients to create a delicious (cup) cake. The combinations are endless and I get super excited when I have spare time to turn my kitchen into a cake lab and pair up fun flavours & ingredients. My favourite cake show right now is Cupcake Wars, solely because of the first challenge where the contestants are given (mostly) repulsively odd ingredients (which, it makes me cringe at the thought of corrupting a perfectly innocent cupcake). The contestants on the show are incredibly talented and (for the most part) are able to pair the odd ingredients appropriately to result in a delicious cupcake. For some ingredients, there is no partner in the world that could bring out the best in it, (note: the same concept could apply to men) and therefore it’s beneficial to know your own creative boundaries. There was a guy on last week’s episode that really wanted to "go all out" and resulted in an (epic) fail by adding a slab of tuna to his cupcakes and real mayo as frosting? Even if you love seafood: fish+cupcake= disaster. This leaves me with the question: What is the most creative/unique cupcake you’ve made or eaten & how did it turn out?
