Cupcake Wars

​{ Cupcake Wars :: October 2013 }

Cupcake DownSouth represented South Carolina in a Southern-inspired episode of Cupcake Wars! Annie and Karen, our Charleston and Mount Pleasant bakery managers respectively, whipped up a Southern brunch cornmeal cupcake with a dollop of strawberry whipped butter and a sliced strawberry.

The Post and Courier previewed the episode on October 10: 

"In an event which would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, a local bakery is competing on food television to win $10,000 for its cupcake. Cupcake DownSouth, which has stores in Charleston, Mt. Pleasant and Columbia, will appear on the Oct. 19 episode of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, an elimination challenge judged by a cupcake mogul and online macaroon company chef. Four bakeries are featured in the showdown, which has previously produced winning entries such as a “Salted Caramel Cupcake with Pecan Coconut Brittle Crumble and Caramel Swiss Buttercream” and a chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake.

Great job, Annie and Karen! You did us proud.
