New guilty pleasure, even surpassing Hoarders - Cupcake Wars! I probably wouldn't ever have watched if John hadn't recently become obsessed with making his own cupcakes, to which he even initiated a "Wicked" cupcake war (pre-tv show), complete with a Cauldron trophy. The prize was based on presentation and taste. John came in 3rd, even though his cupcakes were completely devoured (before anyone else's).
So now I'm addicted to the Food Network's show, Cupcake Wars, where four contestants battle it out to win a measley 10K. The competition is fierce, the time pressure is ridiculous (1000 cupcakes in 2 hours on a newly made display), and the creativity is awesome.
This show has inspired me to new cupcake creativity (crackerjack cupcakes, S'more cupcakes with the marshmallow fluff torched!) Thankfully recipes have been posted on the web site. My waistline won't appreciate this show, but my belly will.
