Richmondmom.com is so excited for Frostings – congratulations on a great showing in the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars show on January 1, 2012!
With just two hours to bake 1,000 cupcakes and build a display to accommodate them, the Frostings team was rocking and rolling. The theme for the show was Wicked and the contestants competed to have their cupcakes on display at the musical’s opening in Los Angeles.
In the first round, Matt Fraker and Jessica Jones from Frostings chose dark chocolate and port wine from the “dark side” of the mystery ingredients. The judges commended them for the smooth frosting — but Richmonders already knew that they have the smoothest frosting imaginable! In the second round, they baked a Hummingbird cake topped with monkey wings, Tiramisu topped with Glinda’s wand, and Mexican Hot Chocolate topped with the Grimmery. It was an awesome creation.
Once again, the judges commended the team on their decorations — and the Tiramisu was a major hit with judge Candace Nelson (and judge Florian Bellanger even
though that ended up on the cutting room floor!).
All in all, they had an outstanding response and review from the judges.
“Frostings was by far the best last night!!! I still do not see how they did not win 1st place. They are still the best regardless… no other team showed the composure and organization skills of Frostings!!!!!
