Iron Cupcake: Earth

I recently discovered this amazing online cupcake competition called Iron Cupcake: Earth! Each month, a special ingredient is chosen and you make a cupcake with that ingredient. Then, all the entries are posted on a blog called No One Puts a Cupcake in a Corner and anyone can vote on them! According to the new voting procedure, each person can vote for 5 cupcakes. Then, each vote gets translated into an entry for a drawing for prizes. So, the more votes you give a particular cupcake, the better their odds of winning a prize!

For the month of December, the theme is Chocolate with a Twist!

Here are the ETSY prizes you can win: An original work from Betty Turbo, cupcake earings from Lots of Sprinkles, a special piece from Cakespy, and limited edition cupcake pincushions from Moda Home, compliments of Sweet Cuppin Cakes Bakery and Cupcakery Supply!

And the corporate prize providers are: Head Chefs by Fiesta Products, Hello Cupcake by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, a Jessie Steele Apron, The Cupcake Courier, and Taste of Home. The competition is also sponsored in party by 1-800-FLOWERS.

Sounds pretty amazing, right? You KNOW I can't resist this one!
