Get your tickets NOW for the last Iron Cupcake: Milwaukee, Wisconsin Eye-Candy Challenge edition!
Tickets are on sale today until they sell out (or February 3rd) for the very last Iron Cupcake: Milwaukee Challenge. Let's have a big internet round of applause to Sandy Ploy for her hard work in pioneering this amazing event. Bakers can register here. I'm even going to consider flying out for it! I've always wanted to go because it sounds like so much fun! It's a benefit for The Pablove Foundation. It features Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, authors of Hello, Cupcake!, What's New, Cupcake? and the forthcoming Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pie, Oh My! (they are also going to be teaching cupcake decorating on our August 2012 Cupcake Cruise). Please do pass this on to anyone in Wisconsin who might want to join in at this exciting event that I think will pay tribute to Wisconsin in a very unique, fun way (note the "no fondant" rule).
Wisconsin Eye-Candy Challenge: Wisconsin is FULL of iconic landmarks and sports teams. Whether its House on the Rock or the Green Bay Packers, there is SO MUCH TO SEE! Utilizing all of the fun tips and techniques that Karen and Alan have taught the country, whip up a creation that portrays the look and style of a truly unique Wisconsin landmark or icon. Think candy, cookies, crusts and more to tell your story - oh, and a special challenge...NO FONDANT ALLOWED. One more thing, don't forget to make it taste good as well! Be creative, this challenge will become the ultimate Wisconsin stay-cation in one afternoon.
From JSOnline:
Baking enthusiasts will create cupcakes with the theme of "Wisconsin Eye-Candy" -- paying homage to state landmarks, legend or lore, and guests will be able to sample them.
A few openings for bakers remain for the event, which runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. It includes a silent auction of autographed celebrity cookbooks, by Rick Bayless, Alton Brown, Jacques Torres and others, that will benefit the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit group focused on childhood cancer.
About The Pablove Foundation: "The mission of The Pablove Foundation is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs. The Pablove Foundation is named after Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz, the son of Jo Ann Thrailkill and Jeff Castelaz and the little brother of Grady Gallagher. Pablo was six years old when he lost his valiant yearlong battle with bilateral Wilms Tumor, a rare form of childhood cancer. The reason that this foundation is so close to IronCupcake:Milwaukee is because our very own Too Much Metal Fred is close friends with Pablo's family and has been a vital part of the success of the Pablove Foundation. What better reason than to support him. Imbued with his spirit and inspired by his strength, Pablove is dedicated to the daily, global fight against childhood cancer and the suffering that comes in its wake. "
