I only watch that show if I am up and bizarrely – it was on last nite when I had insomnia. What are the odds. I only watch to see Bobby lose, sorry. I am from NY originally (now in LA) and he is just too arrogant for me. I am not a cupcake fan, and I rarely bake, but I have to suspect the fix was in here – there is no way a glaze is going to moisten a dry cake effectively. I make gingerbread from scratch every xmas and I use grapeseed oil to keep it moist per the recipe. Without Flay’s helpers he would have flubbed this one entirely, in the mixing, in the frosting and in filling the cupcake pan properly. I would hand the win to them, not Bobby.

He made an overly fussy gourmet cupcake that looked as if it would be better sans frosting.

I don’t know, but if you had a small restaurant and Bobby Flay came to you for a Throwdown I’m sure you wouldn’t decline saying that Bobby Flay is just using you to boost his ego. 1.) That is a big compliment that Bobby Flay thinks you make the best of whatever it is you make and 2.) Your business is getting exposed on National television. But I guess Bobby Flay is just an egotistical jerk for doing that to some small business owner.

I made Bobby’s cupcakes, I trimmed the outside edges off because they were a bit tough…they were best the next day after spending the night in a rubbermade container. Also, I was afraid the cream cheese frosting would be over kill in sweetness, so I used this crazy recipe online (crazy because you add flour…yes…flour). Omg…best frosting ever, it has a whipped cream consistancy. I plan on making Auntie Em’s cupcakes next.

I made a red velvet cake last weekend and used this recipe. The cake turned out really well and I used a combination of beet juice and red food coloring which made it really red but not as red as yours.. Yummy!!! I think I am going to make the cake recipe into cup cakes.

It always bugs me when people are really excited to see Bobby Flay in that show. If I made award winning gumbo or something and they were like “Surprise! Bobby Flay is here to challenge you!” I would be mad, not excited.

Hahaha I was just talking about the same thing that Sharon mentioned. After all, someday when food network tells me I’m getting my own show about whoknowswhat and Bobby Flay comes in and challenges me I do think I’ll be slightly let down…until I beat him of course

These cupcakes do look delicious!

I have a secret love for that television show too. And don’t even get me started on t he hills… i kinda love that show too.
I’m soooo over red velvet cupcakes. So much food coloring, and not as thrilling in the flavor department. Hmm… what’s the next trendy flavor? I’m ready for it.
