Last night, I competed in the July Iron Cupcake Challenge and WON!!!! The theme was berry and USA, so I made a Boozin’ Berry Firecracker Cupcake.
It consisted of a vanilla base mixed with Purple Haze Beer and Bluberries. Topped with homemade Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam and a firecracker cream cheese frosting.
The frosting had pop rocks in it, but most lost their kick by competition time —this is something I will definitely experiment with again.
