Super delicious birthday cookies

The January theme for the Iron Cupcake SF Challenge was "Bake Sale." Anything and everything you might see at a bake sale was fair game. As always, talented bakers from around the San Francisco Bay Area impressed judges with their delicious cupcakes.

Congratulations to the January 1st Place Winner: Cupcake #1, Eliana Martinez, Lemon Bars. Runners Up, Most Creative and Bakers' Choice can also be seen here.

Iron Cupcake SF is held the last Monday of each month at the Leland Tea Company. For more information on Iron Cupcake SF or its generous hosts, visit the Meetup page or check out the Leland Tea Company website.

I did this wedding cake a while back at Ryman Hall in Dalton, GA.  I always feel a little weird about mixing cake shapes and especially Square-Round-Square-Round.  But I was very happy with how this cake turned out!  I really liked the blue and brown theme that the couple chose for their colors.

Not a lot of difficult cake techniques going on here, just buttercream with some piping and a bow made from gump-  What? 

Contest/giveaway what now???  Oh yeah, I remember now!  You want to know who won that autographed copy of Cake Wrecks for voting for Icing Smiles.

Well, Chad took all the names of people that posted their comments on the Pepsi Refresh page and ran them through the Ran a Dee Mizer.

Thanks to all who voted and have a great weekend!!
