Cupcake Wars 2.0 (Monday through Friday, December 18 to 22, 2023)

Has your Tiny Chef competed in Cupcake Wars in the past? Join us for new recipes and even better cupcakes in Cupcake Wars 2.0. Cupcakes are all the rage and it’s a trend that’s clearly here to stay! If you’ve ever been curious about how the pros make those cupcakes so precious and ornate, and if competition is your middle name, then this is the week for you! We’ll spend three days on cupcake basics - measuring, mixing, baking, and frosting, and then finish the week with two days of baking battle! Small teams will face off with one another to compete for the title of “Best Cupcake!”. May the best cupcake win!
