Emery County Fair Cupcake Combat 2014 was a huge success. Thanks to all the participants and to the judges. This year 26 cooks from all over Emery County, brought their sweet cupcake creations to be judged and sampled.
This year the cupcake combat competition theme was Hawaiian Luau style. Contestants 18 and older competed in: Cuckoo for Coconut: the winner was Tabitha Kelly.
Contestants 12 -17 competed in: Cutie Fruitie’s and the winner was Braydon Lake. Contestants up to age 11 competed in Cocoa Maniacs and the winner was Tyson Thomas. All ages could choose to put in the secret ingredient for bonus points. This year’s secret ingredient was SPAM. It was really fun to see all the interesting ways it was used.
This was the first year that Roxanne Jensen 2013’s cupcake winner, was over the combat, and she felt it was very successful. “We took advice from our judges, and some of our contestants to improve 2015s competition,” said Jensen.
Some of the changes will be: More points given if the secret ingredient is used, simplifying the judging sheets, adding a senior age category, giving ribbons to all participants, just to name a few of the changes
The 2015 competition will be: UFOs Unidentified Frosted Objects. Each age group will be given a spice to use, and the secret ingredient will be marshmallow. For more information e-mail Roxanne at ELIZAROX@ yahoo.com.
Thanks to everyone who made it a success. Special thanks to the Emery County Business Chamber for donating $10 in Emery County Bucks to each of the winners.
