The theme of Round 8 is... Cupcakes.

We only have two more rounds left in the Challenge and considering how close everyone's cumulative scores are, we can't emphasize enough how important your performance in this round is. Give us your most creative and delicious cupcake. Unconventional (non dessert) cupcakes are allowed, so long as it has some form of "frosting". Verticals are a requirement in this round.

We understand that May is not the greatest time (for any of us, really). We held the competition during the summertime last year and that also caused a lot of conflicts with people going on vacation, etc.. We don't think there is an ideal time to hold the /ck/ Challenge (fall with back to school, winter with the holidays, etc.) so we really appreciate everyone's efforts.

Oh wow, you guys....thanks so much to everyone, really. This made my day so much better, as I just spent my morning on the side of the highway watching my broke-down car get towed (they think it's the distributor), so not only thank you for liking my entry, but thank you for some needed happiness! Thanks as always to heartsonfire and dogsfordinner for their efforts and work they put into this, I know all of us appreciate your time. I'm so glad people enjoyed my entry, it was a lot of fun, (and really tasty!) and now.....cupcakes, eh? I can't wait to see what everyone does, this should be a really fun challenge. I'm sure these guys can bake up a storm, I can't wait to see everything!

Frenchfag here, I actually did cook something for the last round on wednesday but while I was making the verticals , I thought "wow, this is boring", so I decided not to submit it, also my only chance since 8 and 9 may are holiday in France and every store was closed. Not that I expected to win anyway, unless everyone else dropped from the competition. On the bright side, I can finally vote, I'm a bit of an hard-ass though so be prepared.

Because in week one, when it was a sticky, it caused an almighty clusterfuck of very bad things.

I'm stroking my proverbial chin at the thought of making cupcakes*, but the truth is that if I don't make them today I will be in serious doubt as to whether I can get my entry in on time :\

It has to be the same person, or maybe two people. I think the themes are good. This one especially. It is going to be difficult to come up with something original since the cupcake fad a few years ago really exploded.

As others have stated, I too hope that Bubble_burst will participate in this round since baking is really her forte.

I found the time travel food mostly a let down and don't think people tackled the task so much as made whatever the fuck they wanted to make and then dressed the table to look like the specific period. There were a couple of exceptions but most were uninspiring.

The /ck/ challenge is a way of mining loads of OC.
Any internet cooking board worth a look these days needs to have the fads and the basics covered - so ramen, burgers, cupcakes. This comp is a great way to get a huge number of alternative recipes crowd sourced, whilst having a bit of fun.

chicken, soup, salad, grilling, international challenge (required to roll for what country), eggs, baking, appetizers, beef (roll for what cut), vegetarian, gas station challenge (10 limit and use ingredients found at a gas station), pasta, roll for what two flavors to use in a dish, comfort food, and final was "create your best dish".

It's funny, I really don't have much experience with cupcakes, although I do a lot of baking. Come to think of it, I don't make many cakes at all, really. I'm more of a pies, bars, and cookies type of person. I have a bad feeling I'm going to really dick up the frostings, lol.

before everyone follows anon's handy hints I am going to warn that as this is the second last round I will score strictly. If you don't make cupcakes, you'll get a 0 in challenge goals. If you make a mountain of individually-flavoured cupcakes and expect to receive a cumulative score for all of them you will score zero. This might sound like jackassery but the rules are easy to follow.

There's no problem with a couple (say 3 or under) types, but over the rounds people have been throwing more junk down onto the table so that last time we had about three entire banquets when the rules wanted one dish.

The presentation is a very close shot with a distracting and messy background. I can honestly say I wouldn't ever imagine this combination. I am really turned off by the flavor combination, the cake is starting to deflate in the center. The Icing is really thin and doesn't look appetizing, although I do like the combination of caramel and sea salt. White chocolate just seems tossed in for not reason, as does the watermelon. For you and future entries:
Please, a cross section of the cake would be nice to judge the crumb.

I just said three or under is a good variety. If someone makes more than three different cupcakes it really looks like either arrogance or like they are hiding mediocre dishes in a crowd of average food.

The organizers don't want to limit people so they say that it's fine to make several, but nobody here is going to make one perfectly flawless cupcake. So instead of hiding average food in a crowd its less arrogant to focus on doing one thing really well. If you make a lot of cakes and not one of them is flawless this time I will vote so that the extra cakes count against them not for them.

I agree but commenting on the background and the fact that it's a close shot isn't part of the dish, it's not even related to food or food presentation, they are photos criteria, hence my previous post, this isn't a photo contest.

whatever, vote how you want. It was a fair assessment, I interpret the background and how it was staged as part of the presentation. Honestly, if it was photographed poorly but the staging and backgrounds looked better the score would have reflected that. I am not being unfair, I don't hold a grudge or anything like that one guy that votes really low. I honestly feel that the presentation of the dish could be improved by the two issues I mentioned before.

Making huge amounts of cupcakes isn't the same thing at all as making huge amounts of regular food. Unless they have a charity to donate to, I doubt people will be making dozens of cupcakes. Large amounts of regular food can be done away with by inviting people over. I guess you can invite people over for cupcakes, but they aren't very filling by themselves.

I won't be making an entry this round as I'm going away right after work tomorrow, and I can't really buy everything, cook it and photograph it all tonight. Plus I'll be away for the final week so even if I did qualify I'd have to try and do the biggest dish of the competition in someone else's kitchen and without my own camera or PC, which wouldn't help.

Thanks to the organisers for running the competition and for my week 5 prize, and I'll definitely BRING IT next year if it's on again. If I haven't died by then. Can I do a weepy, piece-to-camera bit now?

- Pecan Praline Cheesecake Cupcake with Dulce de Leche Frosting: Layers of yellow cake and pecan praline cheesecake filling, topped with a cream cheese based Dulce de Leche frosting.
And finally, in honor of my home board of /ck/, who's my daily inspiration and partners in food crime, I present:
The /CK/Cake - a Doritos Locos Taco Cool Ranch Cupcake with Baja Blast Frosting: served warm, this masa and cheese based, ranch flavored cupcake has a filling of cheesy beef taco meat seasoned with Taco Bell hot sauce and Doritos Locos Tacos Doritos, and is topped with a sour cream based Baja Blast frosting.

The pies themselves are like 280 cals a piece, but then a normal cake is something like 160 cals, but since you have to remove some of that batter to make room for the pie, i would halve it and say 80, but then frosting is easily 250+, so between 500 - 750 for sure

The presentation could be a lot better on the individual cupcakes, the centerpiece one looks fantastic though. These are very creative and the flavors are enticing. The cake looks a tad crumbly in some photos and the buttermilk cake looks a little overmixed, but otherwise delicious. I hope the lavender Sprinkles are flavored as such since I love lavender. I have seen hot cocoa cupcakes before, yours sound and look better than any I have seen though.

I've toyed with the idea, but I've worked professionally as a baker (both breads and sweets) and personal cook. I don't know how that would affect my eligibility. The rules say "no one who has ever worked as a professional chef," but I don't know if personal cook counts as "professional chef."
Either way, I feel it might be a tad disingenuous of me to enter. As a Friend, I wouldn't want to do something that would contradict our Testimony of Integrity. Even simply maintaining something that is itself ultimately true violates the Testimony if it's misleading.

Frozen Spumoni Cupcake (FSP): Don't know why you decided to use a bigger cup, it looks like it failed to rise (yes, I know this one wasn't even baked in the first place) with only the icing visible from the top. The cherry could have been pitted and the stem removed, it's annoying to imagine having to remove the cherry, eat it then the cupcake for something that's basically bitesized; for every single cupcake you eat.

Pecan Praline Cheesecake Cupcake with Dulce de Leche Frosting (PPCC): For some reason, it looks like some of the border of the cake removed or might be because of the cheesecake when it baked, regardless I'd rather not have a cupcake that looks like it had its border munched by someone else.

Doritos Locos Taco Cool Ranch Cupcake with Baja Blast Frosting (DLTCRCwBBF, ok, I'm kidding I'll just use DRC for Doritos Ranch Cupcake ): Looks alright except for the fact that there's a fucking doritos standing on top of it.

Originality: 3/5

FSP:A frozen cupcake is certainly out of the ordinary.

PPCC: Pecan and vanilla are nice, cheesecake filling makes it better.

DRC: Why?

Appeal: 2/5
FSP: It's frozen cream topped with more cream and a mess of tastes, you have the almond extract and crumbs mixed with both cherry and pistachio cream and chocolate and vanilla with more almond crumbs.

PPCC: Best of three, maybe too much frosting.

DRC:Just why?

I'm just gettin off work so I will email you when I get home. I did start a ck wiki around the same time as the Creepypasta one and filled it with several dozen recipes. However the other wiki really ballooned and consumed my time. I'll send you the info about that ASAP.

Just to say, I ran out of small cupcake liners by the time I got to the frozen cupcakes, and had to use large cupcake liners. I SHOULD have just taken the paper off to take the photo, like pic related (one of my delicious leftovers). But, I was rushed and didn't think of it that way. At any rate, thanks for the feedback.

Hey SirSpice!
No, I didn't use their recipe. I looked at a lot of different recipes, and I decided to use the celery juice curing method. I ran a small head of celery through the food processor until it was pulp. Mixed that with about a 1/4 cup of coarse sea salt, 1/8 cup brown sugar, 1/8 cup coarse ground pepper, a handful of fresh lemon thyme from my little herb garden, 6 garlic cloves (roughly minced), and 1/4 cup pickling spices. Rubbed that mixture well all over the pork belly and sealed it in a large ziplock bag, getting as much air out as possible. Then let it cure in the fridge for 8 days, turning and massaging it every day. Took it out, rinsed it well, then smoked it for 2 hours over half applewood, half hickory chips. Let it cool, then sliced it and divided it up into a few days worth packs, and froze the rest. It's really tasty, I have to say, and not difficult at all, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner, but I'll be making it myself from now on. I still want to experiment with flavors and smoking woods, too.

I was torn between making these and making mini quiches when I read that I had to make some kind of frosting. Since the cheesecakes have no crust, I mixed it up a little bit and put the graham cracker flavor and texture associated with a classic NY cheesecake into a standard buttercream frosting. It came out great, slightly gritty with a hint of crunch.

How in the world would you get botulism? It's cured and smoked meat. Do you not understand how curing works?

If you're worried about that, just leave out the garlic. It would still taste fine without it. But honestly, a week in the fridge isn't enough to give you botulism. Also, there's a shit ton of salt and some sugar in meat cures, both of which are hygroscopic, making an inhospitable environment for bacteria by drawing moisture out of cells.

I have to say, it only had 1/3 cup of soda in it. Still much less sugar than the other cupcakes. I agree with the other poster, how could that possibly give someone 3 types of diabetes? If someone was going to hate on my frostings for being too sugary, I'd think they would have picked the Dulce de Leche. I mean, it's caramelized sweetened condensed milk for god's sake. Now, the Whipped Chocolate Ganache had zero added sugar. But, it used semisweet chocolate, so there was still sugar in it. At any rate, as someone who actually ate them, the Doritos Locos cupcake frosting was definitively the least sweet.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 17 15:59:18 2013 No.4488430 >>4488421 I didn't mean to imply that it had more than others, and it certainly wouldn't cause diabetes even if you ate them daily, simply that it does indeed have sugar in it.

Oh, okay. Well that other guy was responding to the post that said the "taco frosting gave me three different types of diabetes". I just assumed you were referring to that. But nevermind! Yes, it does have a little sugar in it from the soda. But it really just tasted like citrus-y sour cream, with a slight bluish-green color. The whole point of that cupcake was it was a tribute to /ck/, as my home board, and if you were around when the Locos tacos came out, you'll remember the 9999999 threads about them, and as everyone knows, apparently Baja Blast is the only acceptable drink from Taco Bell, lol.
Those were actually damn tasty. I was worried how they would turn out, but my workmates (who got to eat the majority of the cupcakes I made) really liked them. Those, and the Frozen Spumoni cupcakes were actually the most popular. Although a lot of them like the Dulce de Leche Frosting.

Okay guys, so here we go. This is basically a New Orleans cupcake trio, inspired by some of my favorite things. (If i was Oprah, I would give you guys this stuff.)

First on the plate is a Caramel/Praline cupcake. (Yes I know Pye did praline already, but I already planned...so...yeah.)
Its a caramel/pecan cake with a brown sugar/pecan icing which is super tasty! On top is some ground pecans and a homemade praline.

Up next is the Bavarian Cream King Cake cupcake. It's made like a traditional king cake, but in cupcake form with Bavarian cream as the filling. Glaze on top with sprinkles and, of course, a plastic baby.

Lastly, I have the Hurricane. It's basically an upside down hurricane. Usually garnished with orange slice and cherry, so the cake is orange and rum with cherry filling. The glaze is pretty everything that goes in a hurricane (passion fruit, orange juice, grenadine, splash of lime, rum.

Verticals coming. I didn't put measurements because I threw away my papers and I'm on the road of getting drunk. If you want measurements just ask and I'll figure it out when sober.

>>4491268
example) 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar with 3 eggs will not turn out the same as 4 cups of butter and 4 cups of sugar with three eggs

half a packet of butter... ok... how much is in the full packet? The butter I get comes in 1/2 cup sticks but I've seen those bricks that are definitely much more than 1/2 a cup

I can't eye the measurements from pictures where there is nothing to scale them from :P

I don't really feel like commenting on each one. The presentations are nice, I appreciate the decorations, I just wish they weren't so flat. The ck one reminds me of something that would appear on chopped and I love it.

The mugs are very clever, I accept them as "cups", the frosting bit is stretching it on the hot chocolate cake. I will except the cream and the jelly/marmalade as "frosting" though. No points off for it, but that vertical is very difficult to look at. The thought that you just randomly tossed ingredients in together without some sort of measurement makes fear that they didn't taste very good. Steaming them makes them more of a pudding than a cake. The tea cake is the most intriguing though. I would like to see some more development into making it a proper cake. The presentation on this is dismal, it isn't attractive or enticing.

Are you still in the competition? I'll just do a 9/20 if so... Cupcakes look flat and they're unoriginal. I love the nola theme, I really do, but I think you've used that one a few times in other entries.That hurricane one actually sounds good though.

Interiors of both looks nice, although it might have been interesting to see the ice cream in the Baked Alaska go into the cupcake itself. My other complaint is that the Baked Alaska meringue is too dark and looks burnt and unappealing. The Krembo cupcakes are very impressive and the chocolate shell is thin. I'm not partial to the white chocolate, but that's a personal preference.

I can't rate you since I haven't been rating the others, but you did a nice job, this is probably one of the better entries.

I hate frosting, with the passion of a hundred suns, I do. Editing pictures for the two cupcake recipes proper, a short recipe for whipped cream and the one cupcake I bothered to frost with the whipped cream. Should be posted shortly :

Egg-free Orange and Dark Chocolate cupcakes.

I've had to bring foods at parties and pot-luck with egg allergies being an issue. This recipe is a life saver.

And coffee cupcakes.

I wanted to make a play on a cappucino, with the cupcakes being coffee flavored and the whipped cream of top.

They have a very subtle coffee taste, so if you want them stronger you can brush them with more espresso as they come out of the oven.

And the cupcake, with my attempt at frosting. And some cocoa powder on it because chocolate makes everything better.

You could easily spike the cream with some whisky (or other liquor of your choice)
