sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

Fun. I think I’ll try.

It’s not open to Canadians :( But I’ll probably end up trying something on my own. hehehe

Awww I’d totally enter if it wasn’t restricted to US residents only. =/

BEE POLLEN?!

Oh man.

I didn’t even know that was a viable cooking ingredient.

*Wonderment*

I’m in. Starting on it tomorrow. <3

OOOh if I do it’s going to have to be fresh beet and/or coconut milk.

Bee pollen, that’s really out there. I would love to taste something made with it, is it sweet? I wish I could concoct recipes, I can barely follow them :) Good luck to all the contestants!!

how about Canolli cupcakes.
Ricotta in frosting and maybe a filling
and candied Meyer lemon pieces
and chop up a chocolate bar instead on mini chocolate chips
and maybe some pistachios for garnish

How fun! I’m not inventive when it comes to baking, but I look forward to hearing about it!

Wow, wouldn’t it be terrific to win a big money prize for a cupcake!!! I can think of several ingredients that would make a pretty tasty cupcake!

i think im going to give it a try sounds fun and imagine those prizes woooow!!!

I’m entering, going with molasses and stout beer.

I really wish that there were contests like these for people under 18 to enter. Who knows? We might surprise you :D

oh wow…definitely going to attempt this!! i’m free all day friday and saturday…who can guess what i’ll be doing?!

How fun!!

I just wish i could find Scharffen Berger chocolate at a store near me. Or Meyer Lemon too. I live in a small town.

It’s all about BUTTERMILK BABY! =D

I must try that :P

i entered a while back! What an amazing thing that would be to win!

I wish I had the time and the chocolate to do this! I’m working all these days and so wont be able to enter but do love the Berger cookies!

I entered one recipe already. Perfecting a couple more this weekend–hope I can beat the deadline!!!

this contest sounds so fun! saffron in chocolate? yes please :)

You are my inspiration, Bakerella! I’m breaking out of my shell and submitting a recipe!

That money would solve a whole lotta problems for me! But I’ve never heard of this kind of chocolate before!

What is an adzuki bean? Need to google that one. Maybe you meant Gad-zuki bean ; )

i’m just chiming in for the very first time ever, to thank you for all this year of wonderful adventures—like Alice (but no Duchess, no yelling) and Narnia (no battles or scares) and the very best scenes in Willy Wonka and Candyland and The Pillsbury Bake-Off and through the Dorothy-door to Oz..

Every post inspires an AWWWW and every picture a smile.

Thank you for your talents and your work, with many happy wishes for a bright, SWEET New Year!

I’m a urban bee keeper and bee pollen is very easy to use. Would not be a stand out ingredient like chili pepper but you can use it. Adzuki bean is a sweet bean that is used in Japanese desserts. A very good choice to something out of the main stream.

I entered!! Crossing my fingers!

This sounds like fun!

That sounds like fun. I’d definitely go for the mollasess

I got up the courage and entered. :O) Look for Chocolate stout cupcakes with coffee canoli filling and topped w/ chocolate stout ganache. :O)

shame that its only residents, I was cooking up ideas already :(

i wanted to enter this- but it is open only for Americans it seems..

oh well nothing to stop me from playing in my kitchen!!

I was thinking tonight how i might try to do up some of your cake pops with chocolate cake but instead of icing mix in some nutella to the *batter*….maybe dip in chocolate with hazelnut pieces on top?.. i dunno just playing with the thought- but so far the thought process is making me all kinds of happy.

I think coconutmilkcupcakes would be good.
What about Chocolatecupcakes with coconut-pieces and coconutmilkfrosting? YUUUUUUM!!!
Think I will try!

Done! Thanks for the reminder! For some reason I had the deadline as later in the month.

I think my family is ready for me to move on from chocolate cupcakes. :) They’ve been such sacrificing troopers as I’ve fine tuned my recipe!

been working on it!!! trying to make the deadline! ahhh!

This has nothing to do with the chocolate adventure contest but I found this website and I thought you should feature it on your blog. Its a mom who made a mold for cupcake pops and has a really cute video with her kids in it. :)

There’s a restaurant up here – a pizzeria that has a “Pipeline Stout Chocolate Cake” on their dessert menu. I bet it would be awesome as a cupcake with Scharffenberger…

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was trying to make some coffee cupcakes with cinnamon frosting, but they turned out HORRIBLE. *sob*

I am totally pulled toward this contest! My best friend and I are going to rock it out tonight!!! Spatulas are ready!!!

This contest is way out of my league…… BUT I just found the cutest cupcake lamp at Home Depot.com. Bakerella YOU have to have one of these!!!!!! Just type in cupcake in the search window of the homepage and it will wonderfully appear!!!!!!!

When are the winners announced? I entered. I fixed my coffee cupcakes and added cinnamon mocha frosting. They are delicious!

This is awesome! I think I’ll have to try this as well! Man, Jan 2 is just around the corner!!! Here’s my giveaway for the new years if you guys are interested in entering to win by commenting: http://pamcakediva.com/?p=1245

I guess I ave to just sit around and wait for March 5th to roll around. Doo-dee-dooo…… la la la…….

oh, darn!
I was going to try and work on this over winter break and totally forgot about it!!!

I missed the first announcement so thanks for this reminder. Having one day to create a cupcake was a challenge in and of itself, but I just finished creating my cupcake for submission. I had a lot of fun too and am so excited being a part of this challenge.

Working hard to “perfect” my recipes. MY hubby is LOVING all the experimentation and even if I don’t win the contest, he thinks they are winners!!!

I found out about this just a hair too late, which stinks. I even bought my meyer lemons for it.

I will just have to make adventure cupcakes for myself and my honey.

I wish this contest was open to the rest of the world!! sigh… Maybe .. just maybe one day it will get to Korea.. I will just have to make my own at home and get some ginuea pigs to try them out^^

I entered 10 recipes. I’m most proud of the ones I can up with for the fresh beet and bee pollen.

My friends did love the “tasting party” where they got to taste all the recipes I came up with and offer suggestions. They have helpfully suggested that I enter more contests :)

Bummer that these chocolates are not sold anywhere near me. :(

I’m glad I came across this post… I entered the contest creating 2 cupcakes in less than 6 hours. It was certainly an adventure- my husband & I had a blast & the cupcakes are delicious.

I entered 2 cupcake recipes. It was so much fun. At my last family gathering, I had my family members acting like food critics! I used ricotta, meyer lemon, sumatra coffee beans, buttermilk, chocolate stout beer, and molasses.

Yeah my mom would win this so you people who are entering BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My grandma would love to enter it she LOVS baking cakes, cookies, pies, (etc) It sounds fun!!!

Hi:

I love your cake pops but I don’t love canned frosting. Is there a homemade recipe you could recommend that would work well instead?

Thanks,

Donna

Why would you enter it????? Its stupid

Wow! Seems a Grand Contest held here. I missed the opportunity. Is there any upcoming contest? I would like to take part.

Thanks
